.Samarra Attack, the Last Straw?
"The situation in Baghdad is bad, bad, bad. I had to flee work early and return home after news of large protests in Shi'ite districts, and several attacks against Sunni mosques in the Baladiyat, Sha'ab and Dora districts by angry rioters. Sunnis are being blamed for the attack against a Shia holy shrine in Samarra, a largely Sunni town.
The streets look empty now, and all stores seem to be closed. I can hear gunfire and American helicopters and jets circling the skies.
I'll update again when I get a grip on what is going on. Things look tense enough."

Yea, but aren't we supposed to be there to prevent just what your describing from actually happening? What you describe would not stay within Iraq, it would have no borders. Did you see where Sadr was in Lebanon, and rushed back to Iraq, telling his Lebanese friends to say calm. The ME is a tinder box waiting to burn, and with it the worlds economy. Bush is slowly losing control of Iraq, and unfortunately for us and for the Iraqis, and the world, I do not see anyone waiting in the wings to walk in and pick up the slack
I have said it before the enemy we are fighting is smart and no one even know who he really is, or at least know one is saying. He acts and does not show his hand, plays his card close. We keep walking right into the punch, sooner or later, he's going to deliver the knock out blow. hen it will be to late to even care who he really is. And I am afraid that this administration is so full of itself that they are not even looking.
