Terrorist U.S Forces Slaughter Women and Baby
Seven Shiites shot dead in Baghdad
U.S. moving more troops into city as fresh explosions rattle residents
Jul. 22, 2006. 07:37 AM

Three people were killed and five were injured in a bombing and shooting in the main market in Baqouba, where U.S. forces killed five civilians — two women and a toddler girl — the day before after taking fire from a building during a raid for suspected terrorists.
The U.S. military expressed regret over the civilian deaths and blamed extremists for putting civilians in danger. A U.S. statement said the troops fired only after occupants of the building refused repeated orders to leave.
In the northern city of Mosul, gunmen attacked a joint U.S.-Iraqi base with rocket-propelled grenades and mortar fire today, followed by a suicide car bombing, police Lt. Col. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said. There were no reports of casualties.
One civilian was killed in the crossfire when masked gunmen attacked Iraqi police in east Mosul, and three gunmen died in a firefight with police in the north of the city, Khalaf said.
A curfew was imposed today on the city of Samarra after a bodyguard of the city council chairman detonated an explosives belt, injuring the chairman and another security officer, police said. The Feb. 22 blast at a Shiite shrine in Samarra unleashed the current wave of sectarian violence.
An Iraqi soldier was killed today when a bomb exploded at the entrance to his home in Hillah, 95 kilometres south of Baghdad, police said. Six people were wounded today when a bomb exploded at the central bus station in Musayyib, about 60 kilometers south of the capital, according to hospital authorities.
The deteriorating security situation — especially in Baghdad — has alarmed U.S. officials, who had hoped that the new national unity government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki would be able to ease tensions so that the U.S. and its international partners could begin removing troops this year.
But the situation has gotten worse since al-Maliki took office May 20. Security is likely to top the agenda when al-Maliki visits the White House this coming week.
The Baghdad area recorded an average of 34 major bombings and shootings for the week ending July 13, the U.S. military said. That was up 40 percent from the daily average of 24 registered between June 14 and July 13.
Much of the violence was due to sectarian attacks. Months of worsening violence has heightened tensions between Shiites and Sunnis and deepened the distrust between Iraq's two main religious communities.
Instead of cutbacks, a senior U.S. defence official said the Pentagon is moving ahead with scheduled deployments to Iraq next month and is moving one battalion to Baghdad from Kuwait where it was in reserve, U.S. officials said.
The U.S. command had drawn up plans to reduce the number of U.S. combat brigades in Iraq from 14 to 12 by September. But that plan has been shelved for the time being because of the security crisis in the capital.
"The situation with sectarian violence in Baghdad is very serious," Gen. John P. Abizaid, head of the U.S. Central Command, said in an interview Friday with The New York Times. "The country can deal with the insurgency better than it can with the sectarian violence, and it needs to move decisively against the sectarian violence now."
A U.S. Marine was killed in action Friday in western Iraq, the U.S. military said. The Marine was assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. It was the 24th death this month among U.S. forces in Iraq. At least 2,558 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

Do you remember Viking? Don't see him around anymore. But when the insurgency was in its infancy, I told him then that whenever a population supports an insurgency the group that suffers the most is that population. Soldiers are put in a position where they are fighting a non-uniformed personnel, then inevitably large numbers of civilians die. Viking told me that when fighting against occupation, the only rule is there are no rules. But that cuts both ways. If you fight without regard to the law of land warfare, you are poorly positioned to complain when your enemies violate those rules. I told Viking then that if the Iraqis support and insurgency, tens of thousands of Iraqis will die. So, don't complain now. This is a direct result of support for the insurgency. The argument that we should not have invaded Iraq in the first place is invalid when discussing the future.

Well tha shiicas welcomed the occupation army and they dont participate
the insurgency and their leaders gave legitimacy the occupiers
Instead of fighting for their freedom what they do is just kill the Sunnis
i m sorry the death of the toddler and the women but their men deserves what'ever happen to them
