7 Killed as Full-Scale Sectarian Fighting Rages in Baghdad

[DoYouEverWonder]

August 18, 2006

A car bombing in the Sadr City district of Baghdad killed at least seven people and wounded more than 20 on Thursday morning, the authorities said.

The blast was the latest of several recent attacks in the district, a densely populated area controlled by the Mahdi Army, a Shiite militia loyal to the cleric Moktada al-Sadr. It signaled that full-scale sectarian fighting was continuing in the capital despite the extra American troops deployed there.

Also on Thursday, the Iraqi government introduced a $39 billion draft budget for 2007 that a spokesman said would require significant borrowing unless daily oil production more than doubled.

Few details of the draft were available. Ali al-Dabagh, the government spokesman, said in an interview that it was being scrutinized by the cabinet and that most of the proposed $39 billion would pay for employees’ salaries and pensions.

Didn't we just send in a whole bunch of troops to calm things down in Baghdad? Seems that's going well, isn't it?

1. OK, I just have to comment on your signature

It's bad enough that the infamous LIHOP acronym includes "on purpose." But must we proliferate this phrase? Grown people do not say "on purpose." Only children say "on purpose." It sounds absolutely fucking ridiculous for a bunch of adults to run around saying that somebody did something "on purpose." It's too late for LIHOP. The 9/11 Truth Movement, or whatever they call themselves, is well and truly stuck with that imbecile expression. But we can stop it there. We must stop it there! Let's have a little fucking dignity, shall we?

2. Well. actually, failure to lead could be unintentional.

So could letting something happen. You could be too stupid to recognize the problem until it was too late, for example.

9. So what would you call it

when everytime there's a disaster this is how the President reacts?

10. Let me be clear: I object to the use of the phrase "on purpose"

which is childish.

The meaning behind the phrase, I'll make no comment on.

[GliderGuider]

12. I suspect the reason you object to the phrase so strongly

is because of your well-known antipathy towards the LIHOP/MIHOP theories surrounding 9/11. Absent a personal resonance, I can see no reason why the simple phrase "on purpose" should be construed as childish. It simply means "deliberately", and its use in that sense is nothing more than a common figure of speech. There's no need to wax profane in your objection.

[alcibiades_mystery]

13. I have no "antipathy" towards LIHOP/MIHOP

So I can't imagine how such would be well-known.

As for the phrase, yes, it is common...among children. Adults say "deliberately" or "intentionally." That's the fucking point. And profanity is fun.

Cheers.

21. My mistake

I guess that's not you all over the September 11 board, answerting questions like "What is MIHOP or LIHOP? Thanks" with responses like "Two idiocies. Stated in the manner of a two-year old ("on purpose")."

Adults say "on purpose" sometimes too. Take for instance the first result in a Google search for the phrase "on purpose": On Purpose Leadership, a company specializing in training programs in leadership, management, sales, behavioral dynamics and team development. Just because it reminds you of theories about pods and bombs in the WTC doesn't make it illegitimate for anyone else.

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. Am I all over the 9/11 Boards?

Really?

I think I've responded to a handful of 9/11 threads in the last year. Maybe four, maybe less. Do I think it is an idiocy stated in the manner of a two year old? Yes. But that hardly rises to the level of an antipathy. It's more at the level of amusement.

It's not illegitimate. It's childish. Adults who say "On Purpose" are ridicuous. Citing a mangement training company to refute that is equally amusing!

[DoYouEverWonder]

24. Adults who say "On Purpose" are ridicuous?

I think a mirror would be appropriate at this point.

20. When you have a POTUS & CIC who acts so childishly

then he deserves to be described in childish terms.

BTW: I didn't know words and phrases had maturity levels assigned to them.

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. RE:BTW

It's poopy not to think so. ;-)

[Rex]

25. Sounds like the Truth really pisses you off.

Dignity? :rofl: Thanks for that funny little rant.

[alcibiades_mystery]

29. Oh, yah, sure

The steam's positively comin' out my ears..:eyes:

You cats never cease to amuse, though, that's for sure.

3. Only 7? I believe that would be described as "peaceful"

:sarcasm:
relatively speaking

[krispos42]

7. Yeah, the gunfire is sporatic enough to occasionally hear the crickets! nt

4. And after all of this

Bush expects Iraqis to express their thanks? Truly out of touch with reality, I believe.

6. Dear God, Joe's expression is making me queasy...

Shear idol worship. Or maybe Joe's just peeing into his Depends.

And I voted for him twice in 2000. Well, back then he was fairly normal, I guess.

Is this picture doctored at all?

[krkaufman]

11. Ick. I was thinking the same thing. Like he's in love w/ Bush. n/t

[saigon68]

15. Not doctored as far as I know

Certainly not by me

I don't do that stuff-- except this one

[xchrom]

8. mission accomplished.

[insanerepubs]

14. WHY?

Will this insanity ever stop? Everyday the failures of the chimpmaster become more and more evident. It seems that he and the thugs that work for him won't quit until the planet is a pile of smoking rubbish....enough already....

Why in the world did he get us involved in this? It's like a bad dream that won't stop....

[xchrom]

19. how the hell do i know? -- it's nuts if you ask me.

[doubleplusgood]

16. but they didn't vote for full-scale sectarian fighting

Don't you remember? The Decider said so.
