| Holland drags feet on extraditing terror suspect to Morocco |

| I won’t post the article, but Khalid B.’s name has appeared in Rantburg before; he’s a real shady character (as well as a member of the Moroccan Islamic Combatant Group). I bet the Moroccan truncheon work would be quite impressive, but for now I’ll settle for him staying in a secure Dutch prison. Hopefully in solitary so he doesn’t infect the general prison population. By the way, he "misses his family". |

| #1 ANYONE FOR JOINING THE BUSH-BLEW-IT CLUB? America's finest troops - some being National Guard members in their prime of life - are being forced to patrol in areas where koranimals are placing Road Side Bombs with total complicity of the local savages. America's finest troops were pulled from the Fallujah front, as they were prepared to overrun al-Qaeda elements. Now, Bush-Powell-Bremer are deferring to some sham ersatz-democratic process, with a scenario where Iran will effective control Iraq, and be in a position of butchering 13 million minority persons. Please don't surrender to the Robert Crawford' I-want-to-be-part-of-something-big-even-as-a-kiss-ass mentality. Fallujah-Najaf mythologies are already being reinforced in Shiite-Sunni/al-Qaeda circles in Iraq. Unless extreme pressure is put on the "faith based" idiocy in Washington, America will be held hostage to Islamofascists. American taxpayers did not shell out $150,000,000,000 for that bill-of-goods. The majority here is making Juan Cole look good. Don't be patsies. http://www.juancole.com/ The results confirm that radical young Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who is holed up in Najaf as his militiamen fight the Americans, has emerged as among the more popular politicians in Iraq, already suggested by a poll done in late March and reported in the Washington Post. "Respondents saw Mr Sadr as the second most influential figure in Iraq, next only to Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the country's most senior Shia cleric. Some 32 per cent of respondents said they strongly supported Mr Sadr and another 36 per cent said they somewhat supported him. Ibrahim Jaafari, the head of the Shia Islamist Daawa party and a member of the governing council, came next on the list." Nearly 90 percent of Iraqis surveyed saw the US troops as occupiers, not liberators. This is up from 20 percent in October of 2003 and 47 percent in January, 2004. Not a good curve for the US. Over half want US troops out now. A USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll done in late March had found that 56 percent of Iraqis wanted the US troops to depart immediately. This poll was done before the Abu Ghuraib prison torture scandal broke, so I suspect the negative numbers for the US have increased. Cut the tired triumphalist crap. Bush blew it. |
