Fu*k you you worthless piece of sh!t. Take your hatred and spew it somewhere else. Get down on your well used knee pads and thank your big glowy man in the sky that you aren’t anywhere near me in real life or I would put you on your little scrawny republican a$$, mother fu*ker.

Right, but in the truce they signed last week, they were going to “avoid the spilling of Muslim blood” and focus their efforts on the occupiers. Of course, if they don’t consider Shi’ites Muslim, then this would be a moot point.

In February 2006 it became apparent to the US government that their plan to install Allawi as a puppet leader in Iraq had failed and unplanned elections had resulted in an unwanted Shia-led government in Baghdad. A new policy of ‘divide-and-conquer’ was clearly necessary.

Sammara itself is a predominantly Sunni city and the Askariya Mosque falls under the Sunni Endowment, a government body that caters to the needs of Sunni mosques and religious establishments throughout the country.

During its 100-year existence, the Askariya Mosque, housing the 1200-year shrine, was never attacked. The Sunni population of Sammara took particular pride in its care, a symbol of Shia-Sunni brotherhood.

Sammara is the site of the disappearance of the 12th and last Imam — Mohammed al-Mahdi, a descendant of the Prophet Mohammed. It is said he will return to restore justice to the world.In addition to Najaf and Karbala, Sammara is also a destination for Shia pilgrims from around the world. In early 2006 Samarra was completely surrounded by a five foot berm, with only a few access points, and was fully under the control of the US army with an all-night curfew during which nothing moved except military units.

The curfew in Samarra started at 8pm. On February 21st, 2006, at 8:30pm, according to a witness, joint forces of the Iraq National Guard and the American Army appeared, then left at 9, then reappeared at 11pm. At 6am on the morning of the 22nd the Iraqi Army unit left the area, and at 6:30 the Americans left. The first explosion occurred at 6:40, the second at 6:45.am. The Askariya Mosque in Sammara was partially destroyed with the 1200-year shrine gutted. As Sunni mosques were burned in reprisal attacks and Sunnis were gunned down in the streets,

Iraqi officials said the attack on the shrine was the work of “specialists”. Construction Minister Jassem Mohammed Jaafar, who toured Sammara and inspected the damage incurred to the shrine, said the placing of explosives inside the dome was meticulous and must have taken at least 12 hours.

“Holes were dug into the mausoleum’s four main pillars and packed with explosives,” he told the media, adding that work on each pillar must have taken at least four hours.This is an astounding statement to make. This means that the perpetrators had free rein for much of the time to carry out their heinous crime.

Hoping to find answers and interview residents of Sammara, the Al-Arabiya news network dispatched three of its journalists, including former Aljazeera reporter Atwar Bahjat, herself a native of the ancient city. Sources in Iraq say she was interviewing residents when a truck full of unknown armed men abducted her as she screamed for help. Bahjat, 30, of mixed Sunni-Shia heritage, was found executed outside Sammara, along with her cameraman and sound technician. Her field equipment and video were missing.

One top Shiite political leader accused US ambassador Khalilzad of sharing blame for the attack on the shrine in Samarra. “These statements … gave green lights to terrorist groups. And, therefore, he shares in part of the responsibility,” said Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, head of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq and the former commander of its militia.

Now, they’re saying an ‘inside job’ by Iraqi police.

I’m wondering if it is both – the Al Qaeda who are part of the Iraqi police. It’s not like they go through background checks, or have any way of verifying that the people we arm and equip are not Al Qaeda.

I am questioning EVERYTHING at this point. Especially when this comes on the heels of Liebermann going on the TV to say we need to bomb. What a coincidence..

Loserman lost the primary and got a do-over.

We need to bash him mercilessly. He’s a scumbag.

There was plenty of sectarian violence before the golden dome was hit. There was plenty of sectarian violence after.

This is just another day in George Bush’s Iraq.

What a couple of dumbass homos. They should quit their jobs and move to Castro Street, where they can make-out all day long.

Anyone moving to Albania?

Bush, perhaps?
