Iraq: It's All Under Control. posted by Richard Seymour

Or so the "coalition" have informed us. They've re-taken Kut, or so they say, and are taking the fight to "militants" elsewhere. On the other hand, having bombed the hell out of Fallujah for a week and killed approximately 450 people, they still can't maintain any peace . The fighting rages on Still, it is encouraging to note that Jack Straw is worried enough to appropriate the bullshit and sophistry of the Late Christopher Hitchens:

"Some of the tensions and pressures which were there, and would have come out in any event, have to a degree been directed towards the coalition."

All Saddam's fault then. Nothing to do with the occupation. Oh no.
