Not Necessarily the News: Iraqi officials outraged by U.S. raid in prime minister's hometown


Iraqi officials outraged by U.S. raid in prime minister's hometown:


Khazaali, the U.S.-allied governor, denounced the operation at a news conference, saying the U.S. military hadn't coordinated in advance with Iraqi forces, who assumed control of Karbala security in October 2007. The governor said the raid set "a dangerous precedent" for areas ostensibly under full Iraqi control.

update 6/25: OK I've moved the whole site to a different server where it has a longer life expectancy. so if you are into such things, please post / comment / repeat / enjoy!

<--- I was informed today that this blog has only about a week to live, if that. Apparently the server space is needed for something newer, shinier, and more important. I doubt anyone will miss it, although I've been enjoying the convenience of the blogroll links. Ah well, such is life... --->
