# A woman known as Um Haydar was beheaded reportedly without charge

Tanks to the liberation, now it's no longer necessary to be - even
remotestly - connected with any 'criminal' activities against
the state to become beheaded.
Thanks to the liberation, now everybody may become beheaded, if
he/she lives in the wrong quarter or runs into a checkpoint manned
with the 'wrong' people.
It's really a success-story - this kind of 'liberation'.
Do you know how many people apply daily at the iraqi embassy, to
become citizens of 'Free Iraq'?
Yes the 'resistance' made sure that life for Iraqis is worse after 2003. Iraqis were afraid of it before the invasion. Good job resistance! Fucking khenefsan.
I know outsiders don't understand it, but it's the same thing said after the independance of Ireland from UK by Michael Collins: Now we have the freedom to have that freedom.
And now Iraqis at least have hopes, not like in Saddam - times. That's the difference ! (And do not always concentrate on the bad news. Iraq consists on more than only Baghdad.)
Happy Eid Mojo and Happy New Year
Nice post, IA. I know you read the thing that Tony posted about how the release of the cell phone recording of the execution was deliberate and I think you disagreed.
I'm not so sure though. A lot of people saw that video and said the same thing, "why in the world was this released..."
Think about it.
Unfortunately I am thinking about it. I can't sleep.
IA, you are absolutely right about everything you have stated so far.
1. For 4 years now, the Sunnis have been killing the Shia, and no Sunni condemned it. Infact, people were saying there is no civil war occuring and that it is the occupation doing it. Now that the Shia have responded in kind in revenge, they are the first to accuse the Shia and the first to claim Iraq is in a civil war. While these Sunnis who are fighting for absolutely no reason but their own lust for power, nobody questions their motives. Yet when the mighty Shi'a lions attack the jackals, everyone brings in the Iranian boogeyman. Just for safe measure, two birds and one stone, they can also throw some vitriole about allying for some Anglo-American or neo-Zionist bullshit.
2. It is REALLY interesting, how the so called Islamic resistance that is fighting the occupation has not targetted any of the ex-Baathists. Infact, with all the suicide bombings, car bombings, and mortar barrages they have been shown to in the past (whether it be a marketplace, or a mosque congregation)...in their own filthy backyards in Fallujah, Ramadi, Tikrit, the heart of the so called Islamic State, you have thousands of people with socialist Saddam, evil Saddam, money-hungry child-killer Saddam's pictures protesting? What the hell?
Mojo, do you follow Iraqi Slogger?
Have you seen this one?
The AP's Jamil Hussein Scandal
Controversy Will Haunt the AP Until It Does What is Right
By EASON JORDAN Posted 9 hr. 39 min. ago
If an Iraqi police captain by the name of Jamil Hussein exists, there is no convincing evidence of it - and that means the Associated Press has a journalistic scandal on its hands that will fester until the AP deals with it properly.
Check this out too. I thought it was strange because apparently it is a Sunni pro Baathist (or do I say Baathi) website but it is allowing for Shia and Christians to post their missing there too or did the others just upload somehow, dunno cause it is in Arabic.
Shias Search Relatives on Sunni Website:
Desperate Iraqis Turn to the Internet
By NIR ROSEN Posted 6 hr. 45 min. ago
As more and more Iraqis are disappearing, their desperate relatives are not merely hanging up signs on walls but are turning to the internet. Iraqi Rabita is a Sunni pro-Baathist Sunni website. On its home page it often posts photos of missing people with the request "please help us find these people - lost." At first only Sunnis were posting on this site, hoping to locate family members kidnapped by Shia Militias. The site succeeded in finding some of the missing people but it did not explain how it did so. Now Christians and Shias whose sons were kidnapped by Sunni militias have begun posting photos of their relatives on the site, calling for help in locating them. Today the home page of the Rabita had 19 photos of missing people. Four were Christians, five were Sunnis and ten were Shias. Today the website also quoted Saddam's defiant line before he was hung. "Is this manhood (bravery)?" he asked the Shias who were hanging him.
Duuuuuuuude. How are your peeps gonna watch Dave Chappelle for tips? OK, I'll stop now 
Comedian Chappelle Turned Innovator: On Al-Rasheed army base, comedian Dave Chappelle might be surprised that his routines are helping the Iraqi army find better ways to do logistics. Stars and Stripes reporter Lisa Burgess says that Chappelle has inspired the Iraqis to organize logistics better -- all from a comedy routine in which Dave was doing a sketch involving the taste of yellow sheet cake. The Iraqis were using white paper for their "101" requisition forms -- but somehow things were not getting done correctly. But after watching Dave's routine, things were printed on yellow paper, instead of white. Now the Iraqis treat it like it's really special and are very particular about it now. Things need to be only on yellow sheets. And it seems to be working, and things are becoming organized.
'The AP fired back with at least three strong statements defending the initial AP report and provided a follow-up report from Baghdad quoting anonymous witnesses as confirming the original immolation story.
In the absence of irrefutable evidence that Captain Hussein exists and that the original AP report was accurate, bloggers and a few mainstream media journalists kept plugging away in an effort to get to the truth about whether there is a Captain Hussein and whether six Sunnis were burned alive that day.
Five weeks after the disputed episode, key questions remain unanswered, but what is clear is the AP has botched its handling of this controversy - and it's not going away until the AP deals with it forthrightly and transparently.'
Wow, the AP??
“The Iraqis treat it like it’s really special,” McLaurin said. “They are very particular about it now, like, ‘No, no, this needs to be on the yellow sheet!’ ”
Funny! All because of Dave Chappelle. That's awesome.
Afghan Shia, I agree. Thanks for summarizing.
'I'm not so sure though. A lot of people saw that video and said the same thing, "why in the world was this released..."
Think about it.'
Think about what? Why the Iraqi govt released the video? You think they want to create more division, more conflict between Sunna and Shia like Tony does? You really believe that??
Now everybody knows who executed Saddam. To hell with him but it broke my heart to hear Muqtada's name. Thanks to the Americans who support Maliki's government which paved the road to Sadr and his militias do what they are doing now in our beloved country! Alas.
# Yes the 'resistance' made sure that life for Iraqis is worse
# after 2003.
The 'resistance' is the result of a more than 10 years old attempt to
destroy Iraq - oh moron.
The 'resistance' and all other consequences are the outcome of
the process that you - moron - prefer to call 'liberation'.
How it's possible to ignore that?
Yes, first Iraqis cry why the USA doesn't get rid of Saddam in 91 and now Iraqis cry for being liberated.
Stupid Iraqis, you couldn't liberate yourself, we've seen this moron in the hole ! And this resistance is as noble as flies flying around shit. If they were really noble they would have fought Saddam before the liberation but that this didn't happen just shows who are the resistance. It's the generation of perveits brought up by Uncle Saddam.
Btw. - I'm really impressed by the sectarianism here.
Go on fools - sunni and shia - go on slaughter each other for the sake
of imperialism.
You're pathetic bunch of morons.
There is no 'resistance' in Iraq. There are only a bunch of terrorists and criminals in Iraq, and they murder many times more innocent Iraqis than US soldiers. How sad and embarrassing for the Arabs.
somewhere was nowhere when the 'resistance' was blowing up Shia between 2003 and 2005. apparently the conflict only becomes 'sectarian' when the Shia start getting pissed off and killing innocent Sunna.
Think about what? Why the Iraqi govt released the video? You think they want to create more division, more conflict between Sunna and Shia like Tony does? You really believe that??
Iraqi American | Homepage | 01.02.07 - 1:05 pm | #
No, Mojo. I didn't think it was the Iraqi government that wanted to create more division. I thought that it was the American government.
So the American govt released the video?? To create more conflict between Sunna and Shia? Because the US wants to see more conflict between Shia and Sunna???
BT, do you think Sadr would have as much power today if the Shia weren't being slaughtered by insurgents in Baghdad between 2003 and 2005?
I should have said in Iraq, not just in Baghdad.
You're absolutely right, IA !
The Sunni - Baathi - Al Qaeda killer gang who didn't just kill al - hakim (maybe not moderate but surely not violent) or the UN envoy are the patient zero of violence in Iraq !
So CS you think that the US had something to do with all of this? You are even more of a Palestinian idiot than I imagined you lousy bitch. If you Sunnis cant deal with the fact that your fucking hero was executed then boo hoo hoo to fucking you stupid cunt. Why don't you go spread your legs open for the Baath party in Iraq - what is left of them - and let them take turns fucking your diseased cunt maybe then they will all die. Dirty Sunni bitch.
Who ever released those videos or killed Saddam - who ever did that - it does not change the fact that the media is making a good deal out of it. I was just listening to the BBC (world service) and the way the BBC guy described the video just made me sick. The Brits found the oppurtunity to smear their no 1 enemy Sadr. And Brits make the best of their opportunities. By smearing Sadr, they smear alot more.
CS,
Happy new year!
# somewhere was nowhere when the 'resistance' was blowing up Shia
# between 2003 and 2005.
And there's no relation with the 'liberation' - which made the
shia appear collaborating with the 'liberators'?
Go on living in your fantasy world.
# apparently the conflict only becomes 'sectarian' when the Shia
# start getting pissed off and killing innocent Sunna.
No further comment on your sectarianism.
You're doomed.
Speaking of sectarianism, did you hear about the Saudi cleric who issued a fatwa saying that Shia are infidels?
In eyes of the Sunni Arabs, apparently only the Iraqi Shia are 'sectarian'.
'A senior Saudi cleric, `Abdur-Rahman Al-Barrak, issues a fatwa in which he declares that infidelity of Shi`ites. Shi`ism was founded by a Jewish person, he said (he also is not a fan of Jewish people, you see). In another fatwa, he condemns the "modernist and Western" trends among Saudi journalists.'

I agree, Z.
Two good articles on Iraq on today's Asia Times:
Asia Times
.
Brother IA,
Please, don't get blind by the propaganda. We are Muslims. In the time of our beloved Prophet (pbuh) there were no Sunnis or Shia. We are all Muslims!
I agree Myra, but it's too bad there are Muslims who issue fatwas saying that Shia are infidels. It's too bad there are Muslims who taunt the Iraqi Shia constantly, always asking 'are you happy now?' 'Is this what you wanted?' after Iraqi Shia have been blown up every week for the last three years. But when a few Shia, as foolish and stupid as they are, are caught taunting a tyrant before hanging him, all hell breaks loose, as if this will be the spark that divides the Shia and the Sunna. As if they have always been united in peace.
Brother IA,
How do you feel issuing fatwas on Women, half of the population of Muslims, on
education, even changing the ritual of the Hajj?
There shouldn't be difficulties to figure out who is the enemy here. The Christians say: “You will know them by their fruits” Indeed!
