The news you don't hear from Iraq |
AR RAMADI, Iraq - Marines in Ramadi met with the governor of the Al Anbar
Province and 51 Imams at the government center to present an offer for
Marines to assist in repairs and improvements to mosques.
Lt. Col. Paul J. Kennedy, commanding officer for 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine
Regiment, told the Imams that it was important for elected leaders and
peaceful Imams to work closely with Coalition forces for relations to
improve. Kennedy reminded the Imams that Marines are trained to respect
Islamic culture and mosques. He added that the repair initiative was a
token of Coalition goodwill and gratitude.
The mosque repair proposal would fund $1,200 worth of projects for each
mosque, employing about 10 people per project, and is slated to last about
two weeks.
Marines also took delivery of 1,400 radios to be distributed to the Iraqi
people throughout the province. The radio distribution will allow citizens
of Al Anbar Province greater access to news, events and public services
being offered to them that they might not otherwise know.
Marines also visited the Women's and Children's/Maternity Hospital April
30 to assess the medical needs there. The Marines compiled a list of
necessities, some critical to offering safe and effective medical care to
Iraqi women and children. Marines are coordinating with a Governorate
Support Team health representative and Iraq's Director of Health.

I know with the media reporting the alleged prison abuse, soldiers being
killed, and the percieved chaos that most Americans do not see all the
great things the United States is doing for the Iraqi people.

Good to hear the other side of things. When will Iraq be able to stand on
its own feet so everybody can come home?
Seems to be taking a long time.

The problem will be that we will eventually have to leave. The Shi'ites
are becoming increasingly angry, and a growing number of the population in
general is becoming anti-American occupation. Even if we do manage to set
up a government, it is not likely that the Shi'ite majority will let it
stand long after we leave.

The British used to have the same problem in Palestine. Thank goodness
Britain is rid of it.
Get out and let the natives fight among themselves. Just make sure nobody
damages the oilfields, the world needs oil, whoever owns it.

We need to divest ourselves of the need for any mid-East oil. Then we sit

self-destruct.

Looks like we'll still be stuck with the Irish problem for another
millennium, though.
Even if they are all Moslem by then, there will still be various sects and
factions to fight over.

Let's see, $1,200 per mosque. That might buy lunch and dinner for 50 workers
on any given day. Or, I guess we could split the shift and buy four meals
for two days with 25 working each shift.
Hmmm...how much is a cruise missile again?
