The siege of Baghdad

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Bush told the AP yesterday that he's "pleased with the progress we're making," referring to the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But what about Iraq? We follow the death and destruction closely here, contrasting it with the happy words coming out of the White House, but here's a MUST-READ article from The Independent, "Baghdad is under siege". It begins: "Sunni insurgents have cut the roads linking the city to the rest of Iraq. The country is being partitioned as militiamen fight bloody battles for control of towns and villages north and south of the capital."

The situation in Iraq is far worse than Bush and his warmongers will ever admit. The country is rapidly descending into ever more severe chaos. It is civil war.

Make sure to read the whole article. And to educate yourself in the truth.
