Not really news, as most of us probably expected the vacuum created by US withdrawal would be filled by unrest.
Al Qaeda-linked militants have claimed responsibility for Monday’s assault on Iraq’s Abu Ghraib jail, which freed some of the terror network's top leaders amid U.S. fears that the country is back in civil war.
As fighters held off reinforcements outside, other militants, some wearing suicide vests, stormed into the prison and freed the convicts.
“Most of them were convicted senior members of al Qaeda and had received death sentences," Hakim Al-Zamili, a senior member of the security and defense committee in parliament, told Reuters.
The prison assaults followed a violent 10 days in the country, which has seen 250 killed by car bombs, ambushes and gun fights, according to violence monitoring group Iraq Body Count.
The spiral of violence has led U.S. officials to warn that the country is sliding back into civil war, undoing the work achieved by the 'surge' of U.S. troops.

Haliburton and company got their dicks wet, and the chinks have their oil contracts locked in. Wasted effort? I think not. :coffee:

a) Military contractors easily tripled their profits
b) Oilfield service corporations (such as Halliburton) easily quadrupled their profits
c) a few kids died for nothing

It's a Win Win

At least it was all done off-budget.

Always gotta keep looking for that silver lining.

Saddam Hussein was removed from power and the weapons of mass destruction were dismantled.

No one really cares.

We are STILL in Afghanistan...Obama's war...for what? And Obama has tried to get Karzi & Co. to keep us there longer, but Karzi said, "No!" :nod: :clap:

And Obama wanted to stay in Iraq to get more of our people killed...but Iraq told Obama we could not stay and kept to Bush's withdrawal date. :nod: :notworthy:

In the meantime, we have our own uncivil war in Chicago...and people, drugs, and guns are pouring across our unmanned border. :rofl:
