Falujah and Ramadi plan for fireworks celebration in wake of Bush Victory |
2004-11-03 |
Xinhuanet -- In Iraq, violence between insurgents and US troops has been continuing in the rebel stronghold of Fallujah. Heavy clashes were also reported in Ramadi, where two Iraqi civilians were killed. Witnesses in Ramadi said the clashes were triggered by insurgents who fired rockets in the area. The US troops launched artillery in response. The clashes left a woman and an Iraqi freelance television cameraman dead, reported CCTV.com on Tuesday. Meanwhile, American troops are gearing up for a major offensive in Fallujah. The order to launch the assault is believed to have come from Iraqi interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. On Sunday, he warned that his patience with negotiations was running thin. US and Iraqi officials hope to curb the insurgency in Sunni strongholds in time for national elections by the end of January. Also on Monday, Iraqi insurgents released a video of an attack on a US military vehicle near Ramadi. In a statement delivered with the tape, a group calling itself the Islamic movement for Iraqi Mujahadeens claimed responsibility for the assault. There was no word on the fate of the people in the vehicle, and the US military did not immediately confirm the attack. |

#13 It will either be this or about twenty other things that Dems will use to try to impeach Bush. Or they'll manufacture something. They have no shame whatsoever. |

#12 If Rove was the evil genius he's portrayed to be, now would be when he'd spring into action, heh, planting agents throughout the Dhimmigogue Party as it implodes - and then does whatever it is going to do: rebuild or splinter. An amazing opportunity, in fact, for those evil genius types, lol! |

#11 I'm with Mrs. D. here. The other alternative for the donks is to become introspective, recognize that they're no longer in the driver's seat, and attempt to work as a loyal opposition party. Riiiiight. |

#10 Never said it would get anywhere, only that they would scream about it. The whole time I was growing up it seemed every other billboard said impeach Earl Warren. I think the wackos who owned the billboards put it up when they didn't have a paying customer. It's the same kind of wingnuts in the Democrat party now. But, instead of owning the billboard companies, they own the MSM. |

#9 Mrs. D and Groluck: Aint't nobody impeaching no one. Republicans control both Senate and House. Let the usual raging partisan nutjobs scream for impeachment all they want, won't go anywhere. |

#6 Mrs. D is right. It will either be this or about twenty other things that Dems will use to try to impeach Bush. Once they wake up from their confusion and bewilderment, they'll collectively start the "Impeach Bush" chant. |

#5 Groluck, Are you on drugs? No, I'm not referring to your name but to your assumption that the MSM will not be the least bit interested in splashing pictures of burning Humvees on the news any longer. Those pictures are going to be all over as exhibit #1 in the drive to impeachment. Demonstrations of how Bushitler failed to bring us together and unite us as a nation. His MSM honeymon will be less than 24 hours. |

#4 Now that the election is over, we should drain the swamp. And you know what: I'll bet the MSM will not be the least bit interested in splashing pictures of burning Humvees on the news any longer. The gloves are off. |

#3 I hope they moved several battalions of heavy artillery there. Those 8" 200lb shells can make a BIG mess, labs. |
