Britain’s Largest Paper Embedding Reporters With Mahdi Army?
This is straight from the article:
Last week the Mahdi fighters took advantage of the sandstorms, which grounded US helicopters, to blast the Iraqi army’s front line positions with roadside bombs, mortar rounds, rocket-propelled grenades and machinegun fire.
Embedded with them for four days and three nights, I witnessed the fighting at close quarters, learnt of preparations being made by Mahdi special forces to spread the violence to other parts of Baghdad and heard their commanders swear to paralyse the government and destroy Maliki if their own leader authorises all-out war.
The battle of Sadr City, with all the human misery it entails, is in danger of spilling out across the capital, reversing the security gains that followed last summer’s American troop surge.
It is little wonder that US commanders say the Shi’ite militias backed by Iran now pose a greater threat than the Sunni insurgents who were their deadliest enemies when Al-Qaeda in Iraq was at its peak.
Looks like Britain’s largest paper actually is embedding reporters with the mahdi Army…
Nods to LGF.

I don’t want to hear any bitching when an air strike hits one of their dumb ass embeds. You want to play with snakes? Then expect to get bit.

It was then explained just how these people are giving up their rights under the Geneva Accord before we were asked if we had a problem firing on targets using human shields.
The resounding answer was NO. If you aid the enemy you ARE the enemy. The whistling noise means we taped a penny to the round and you have less than a second to live.
