I've not paid much attention to my blog lately due to family and work so I've barely posted a thing about Iraq. I suppose that just reflects the publics attention span on this subject. Iraq has been conquered and is in the process of being divided up by fatcats who cheered on the military might of the US.

The people of Iraq however are not taking this without a fight. The army may have been routed (according to US military and press) but there are plenty of firearms and plenty of people willing to use them. The above photo is from Ananova and shows the burning wreckage of an American Blackhawk helicopter, shot down by "ungrateful" locals.

Only this morning six to eight rockets have struck a Baghdad hotel used by US military and civilians. A spokesman for US military command says there are an "unknown number of casualties" and a quick reaction force has been dispatched to the Al Rasheed Hotel. It is understood Deputy Secretary of Defence Paul Wolfowitz, who began a three-day tour of Iraq on Friday, narrowly escaped the attack.


10 lies about Iraq Meanwhile a British charity is claiming that billions of dollars appear to have gone missing. No surprises but the US denies this. Paul Bremer, head of the Coalition Provisional Authority, said all funds were being spent or transferred in a "completely transparent" way and that auditors' accounting of CPA expenditures from those funds would soon be posted on the internet and provided to an oversight board. Still believe this war had nothing to do with money?

Meanwhile, further up the road, Jews and Gentiles continue to slughter one another. The UN has asked Isreal to tear down its controversial wall but no-one listens to the UN, do they? Even when peace workers are being shot up. Well, its quicker and cheaper than arresting and deporting them, isn't it?
