Iraqi PM: Time to fight terrorism |
2008-02-03 |
![]() Maliki urged all Iraqis to support the security forces "so we can get rid of terrorism and the remnants of the former (Saddam Hussein) regime who use Nineveh because of its geographical location as a base for criminal actions against the people." In a statement earlier on Saturday, the prime minister said "I swear on the blood (of the victims), we will achieve all our goals in securing a stable Iraq. Our forces will continue to ... crush the terrorists and target their strongholds." |

#2 Maliki sounds thoroughly pissed off. I was in Iraq when they blew up the school and killed twenty something kids lined up for exams. The Iraqis were in a rage. I was told by many that Al Qaeda was making a mistake to target women and children. It was one thing to wage war on soldiers, police, tribal leaders and security guards. IT was another thing entirely to blow up kids and women.....I think AQ is driving nails in their own coffins with this one. TO fight an insurgency or terrorists you have to eliminate their ability to, as Mao said, "swim in the waters", I think we'll see a general turning away from AQ. NOW if we can only get Tater to do something really stupid to use against him....like come back from Iran. |
