Remember, no one really  knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating  their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... RON 

*** Nader From The Mid East   I hear people saying "it's nothing that's going on. They're lying. No death." Well yesterday 12 people died...We're not celebrating. We're not chanting...It's too late...the government cannot save themselves anymore. They know the world is watching and we did everything for the world to watch them when we do this.  Now it's happening..[Post 1 of 2]

 

*** Nader From The Mid East  I've been screaming it for 2 months it's going to be a revolution. In every revolution you see...people get hurt...people running away from the country like presidents, corrupt people. That's what's happening now. The next 3 days is going to be worse...we're not celebrating...people are angry, hungry. They have enough. They're saying enough is enough. Now you're gonna see some changes..[Post 2 of 2]

 

*** Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: REPORT 1:  Sadr group of new followers are outside of green zone in large masses and hit by water cannons from security to turn back... REPORT 2:  A lot going on now in the streets.  Kazemi is on television saying protesters please stop, obey and be non-violent and stop this! And he said all security forces are to not use live bullets or shoot at anyone...you are required to protect them..[Post 1 of 2]

*** Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] UN says they have the right to step into any country and demolish the political issues to avoid bloodshed and have not reached that yet in Iraq but are concerned. REPORT 3: All hell is breaking loose in the green zone. 12 have been killed.  Over 260 injured as Sadr protesters storm the green zone.  Curfew now in effect for us...The streets are not clear.  Folks are demanding parliament be dissolved and many are not leaving.  Saying they would rather die than ruled by Iranian backed militia.  The streets are ugly..[Post 2 of 3]

*** Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] REPORT 4: Sadr said he's done with the political world that set his followers off...it's bad in the streets and the Framework is killing people in the streets. REPORT 5: Sadr making new remarks now he's saying for all Framework to quit the political scene and let the people of Iraq vote for the government.  Sadr calling for calm and stop all violence..[Post 3 of 3] 

 

 

Let's hope and pray this sobers up the ignorant & selfish politicians to move forward for the benefit of the Iraqi people. RON

Sadr picked a fine time to resign.  He's needed now, more so than ever.

If they can get a handle on this explosive situation within days, they might be able to salvage the country.

Once it falls into chaos, it will become easy pickings for ISIS & Iran to divide up the spoils.

OBiden cannot ill afford to sit around with ice cream cone in hand & do nothing.

Where were they when ISIS was slaughtering tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens....so much for "peace keepers".
