[Linedrive]

I don't know anything about what you speak of BB, but undoubtably there are those that hope this war does not go well for the US/UK/AUS/POL troops.

 

[Johnny Mayberry]

I think Haliburton and the rest of the Republican contributors are gonna be the big winners.

11:12 AM EST | France: Crisis 'Shattered' World Order
French Foreign Minister Dominique de Villepin said in his lecture at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London that the United Nations must be at the heart of the reconstruction of Iraq following a crisis which has "shattered" the established world order.

At the end of de Villepin's talk, he held a question and answer session in which he refused to answer the question: "Who do you want to win this war?"

Maybe the US will win the war for Iraq...

Near the southern Iraq city of Nasiriyah, more than 35 U.S. marines were injured, two seriously, in an accidental exchange of fire between American units, according to reporters for French and British media who were with the marines. ITV correspondent James Mates said two groups of marines were dispatched during the night to repel an Iraqi contingent, but ended up firing at each other.

U.S. marines survey the remains of U.S. vehicles on Thursday after they were destroyed by friendly fire during a nighttime operation late Wednesday

Oops, but in fairness...shit does happen

 

[busybody..]

I would hope that indeed most of the contracts would be given to American companies.....

If we bear the costs, we should reap the rewards.....

Of course the French and Russians want a piece as well......FUCKEM

Hi Wyn.

Nope, nothing to do except, in this case, ridicule!

 

[zipman]

While I certainly think BB is a complete idiot, I do agree that both Russia and France should not be a part of rebuilding post-war Iraq. I have no problem with the UN or other European countries playing part in it, but not those two.

Evening, Blue.

And even then, it'll probably go over their heads.

We have already lost by not avoiding this war.

The Iraqi regime will be tattered whether they persist or not.

The Iraqi people are losing at the hands of both sides.

I only hope it ends as fast as it can with something to gain beside "conquer and divide."

I fail to see any winners in war.

I think the Iraqi people (especially the children) will be the winners in the long run. Considering the number of Iraqi children who have starved to death under Saddam's regime, I think they will be considerably better off in the years to come.

They may very well have been better off in years to come without first undergoing the death and destruction they are now experiencing.

But we'll never know.

I hope they are liberated. It will at least be something when they look back on the memories of family and friends who suffered or died.

The Iraqi people will pay dearly for their liberation directly and indirectly for this war. Fortunately for them we are very humanitarian. We will give them food. For their oil. And we will pay our American corporations to rebuild. (Whose on those BoD's anyway?)


War casualties mount
Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar |By Mohammed Almezel | 27-03-2003

A 1,000-vehicle convoy of Iraq's Republican Guard headed south yesterday toward central Iraq, site of the heaviest fighting of the war. In Baghdad, Iraqi officials said two cruise missiles hit a residential area, killing 15 people and wounding 30 others.

After almost a week of unrelenting attacks on targets in and around the Iraqi capital, the missile strike in the Al Shaab district appeared to be the first to hit a residential area causing substantial civilian casualties.

However, Brig Gen Vincent Brooks, Deputy Director of Operations, in a briefing at the Qatar-based U.S. Central Com-mand said he was not able to confirm who was responsible for the strike. But late last night the U.S. military acknowledged hitting a residential area but said it did not specifically aim for the neighbourhood.

Some correspondents counted 15 scorched corpses lying amid blackened, mangled cars and rubble from broken buildings. Flames poured from an oil truck.

Later yesterday, more huge blasts shook the city, Al Jazeera television reported.

Meanwhile, an American officer said U.S. troops have killed 1,000 Iraqi fighters in the past 72 hours. In addition to the 650 deaths reported earlier in the Najaf region, a further 250 were killed in two separate incidents on the east bank of the Euphrates, where U.S. troops fought a fierce battle with Iraqi forces, and another 100 on a bridge across the river, Major General Buford Blount, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, said.

In Rome, the UN's food aid agency said Iraq will probably need the biggest humanitarian operation in history to feed its entire population after the war.

"What we're looking at is having to feed, eventually, 27 million people," said Trevor Rowe, chief spokesman for the United Nations World Food Programme.

"This is the whole population of Iraq. So, what we are envisioning is an enormous programme, probably the biggest humanitarian operation in history," he said.

With a second day of severe sandstorms buffeting Iraq, U.S. forces fought bloody skirmishes in their advance towards the city from the south.

The U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division was 80km from Bagh-dad, within striking distance, said Col. Michael Linnington of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade, but was held back by the unrelenting sandstorms.

"We are one tank of fuel from Baghdad," the commander said.

In Qatar, Brooks said the army was "comfortable" with the way its invasion of Iraq was going. "Our operations remain on plan and we are confident we will achieve our objectives," he said.

"The attacks on the regime remain effective," he added, displaying images of what he said were the destroyed Baath Party headquarters in the southern city of Samawa, Intelligence building in Baghdad and a brigade headquarters somewhere in the south. However, he admitted that the Iraqi resistance was a cause for concern.

Intelligence officers with the U.S. military's 1st Marine Expedi-tionary Force said 3,000 Republican Guard troops were headed from Baghdad southeast to Al Kut on Highway 7, a route that avoids U.S. Army forces but leads directly to Marines who have been fighting around Al Nassiriya. Another 2,000 Iraqi troops were spotted south of Al Kut.

In Washington, the military said the U.S. is flying its high-tech 4th Infantry Division and other units totalling more than 30,000 troops to join the invasion.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair flew to Washington yesterday for a war council with President George W. Bush, insisting that the UN must play a central role in post-war Iraq. Bush yesterday praised the "lethal precision" of American pilots and warned Saddam that his day of reckoning was near.
