A surge, a crackdown, three Iraqi women to be hanged with no legal counsel, no witnesses and no defense, Iraq's VP , tortured and to be executed, a blast in two markets with over 120 dead and over 140 wounded,the continuous siege of Haifa Street, Al Adhamyia, Karrada,Al Amariya, Al Amil,Al Yarmouk...So please tell me where to begin ? To simplify this monumental task I will start with the obvious. A blast rocks Al Shorja and Al Haraj markets in downtown Baghdad. Over 120 killed and hundreds of injured, black dense smoke covering half of Baghdad. The reports say "a predominantly Shia" area, I say horseshit. Anyone who knows downtown Baghdad knows that these two souks are nothing but a mixed commercial area. The blast happened whilst Maliki, "the shah'n'shah" of Iraq has declared not 1 minute of silence but 15 minutes of silence to reflect on the blast that rocked Samarra a year ago. 15 minutes of reflection by Maliki is a tall order indeed.

Huh ? Come back where ?
You are imagining that the Munir Bachir piece has disappeared.
It is still there, under the Blog archive. Glad you like Celia Cruz, the Queen of Salsa.
All the pleasure is mine Captain.
Still waiting for my sailing lesson no.1.
Wow, more surprises. I had no idea you are so fluent in Spanish.
I am happy you like it. It came from the Heart.
Bless you and yours.
Can he salsa though ?
Hello, am fine thanks. But how many times do I need to repeat that my name is LAYLA and not LEYLA ?
Thanks for noting it down.
Are you still crying for blood? Here is some news for you: Video of Baghdad teeming with hope
Now what do you have to say about the turnaround in Iraq?
I'll bet the shopkeepers and their customers in the video would be pretty upset if you had any success in resurrecting the insurgency.
It is ironic that the rest of the world is in a financial crisis while Iraq is now flush with cash. You still want to take that away?

Since hope is teeming now in Baghdad.
Let us know when you plan to visit.
And be sure to send us all a photo of you and the family when you get there.
God speed !
PS
In all seriousness, your're an asshole.
