BAGHDAD - The Iraqi government has dismissed about 1,300 soldiers and policemen who deserted or refused to fight during last month's offensive against Shiite militias and criminal gangs in Basra, officials said Sunday.

Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said 921 police and soldiers were fired in Basra. They included 37 senior police officers ranging in rank from lieutenant colonel to brigadier general.

They have a lot of army guys at this point. Here's what the NY Times said about Basra deserters last week:

"A British military official said that Mr. Maliki had brought 6,600 reinforcements to Basra to join the 30,000 security personnel already stationed there, and a senior American military official said that he understood that 1,000 to 1,500 Iraqi forces had deserted or underperformed. That would represent a little over 4 percent of the total."
 
I turns out it wasn't an attack. I was umm, err, "The result of an incident".
 
When a Muslim did it, you always reflect on his religion. But not if his religion is not Islam like Timothy McVeigh, Hitler, the VT shootings, Klu Klux Klan killings, Jim Jones and many many more.

The fact is that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world makes you fear and you hate what you fear.

Will there ever be peace on Earth when there are so many racists (even when people think that they are not racist)? :rolleyes:

What did you say, hypocrite?
