Now let me see, The Brits are liked in southern Iraq. The Americans are adored by the Kurds in northern Iraq.

But the Americans are so much chopped liver acording to the article.

I suggest this paper strongly propose we drop the Brits into the most die hard Sadamnite bathest strongholds within Baghdad and see how they fare with that meet my buddy Ala Babba scenario BS.

The author has not yet figured out that Baghdad was the center of Baathist power but that Basra and the Kurdish north were subject to repeated Baathist massacres of their Shiite and Kurdish populations.

He is comparing the degree of danger of patrolling the streets of Berlin and the streets of Paris on the week that World War II ended.

Also, Baghdad is the headquarters of the International Press at the Palestine Hotel. Of course, many of the agitators are playing to the press to win the media battle.
Baghdad is also much larger than Basra and was the capital of Saddam's brutal regime. Many of the loyalists have no doubt amassed in Baghdad to thwart our efforts.

This article is such bunk!
