Bush's new approach... Fortress Baghdad.

could this theory be the blueprints for Bush's "new approach" on the war?

Construction of what critics call “Fortress Baghdad” has led to arguments inside the State Department amid fears that the overwhelming diplomatic presence will perpetuate a sense of US occupation and become a focus of local anger.

The embassy compound being built inside Baghdad’s Green Zone covers 104 acres, making it six times larger than the United Nations compound in New York. A city within a city for more than 1,000 people, it will have its own water, sewers and electricity, six apartment buildings, a Marine barracks, swimming pool, shops and some walls 15 feet thick.

The State Department has told the Financial Times that the US civilian presence in Iraq has “grown considerably beyond the numbers projected for the new embassy compound”, which is scheduled for completion by September 1 at a cost of $592m (€455m, £307m).

your right. either bush is completely unaware that iraqis want his head on a plate or hes completely stupid

Something I found really interesting on GW, was a video of him in his govener days, debating his side of an issue, to gain public support.

Now, he really, spoke well. Structured sentances, he used long and difficult words, and he looked like a smart guy, on the ball and quick to answer qustions.

But now? he looks dumber than a chimpanzee..

Me? I believe this is proof he isnt in charge.

When your the one making the decisions, and your the one deciding the hard decisions, you know deep inside WHY you chose that.

You dont stutter, stumble and need to think of excuses..


BUT back on topic.


Fortress baghdad is a bad idea,

because it will be one big target for Irans missles should something flare up there.

Especially when it is full of American civilian contractors, Soliders etc etc.

big suprize everybody!!!


bush is sending a total of 21,000 troops to the green zone!!!!
now the green zone has enough people to BE A STATE.

On what do you base your conclusion that Iraqi's want Bush's head on a plate? The Kurds are happy with the way things are now, the Shia in Basra and the rest of south are happy, and the last thing in the world the majority Sunnis in Baghdad want is for the Americans to leave them to Muqtada Al Sadr and his band of merry Shia.

So how many Iraqis want Bushes head?

A few Sunni Baathists, and what left of Saddams cabal.

Read a newspaper....Get a clue.

PS.... Those shia followers of Sadr who have had 1,000 years of blood fued with the Persians now accept their help? I wonder how long that will last, and in the end who will be considered stupid?

It's that old Arab proverb..the enemy of my enemy is my friend...until enemy A is gone.
