"They"

“They” came in more than ten cars, each car had four Armed men in it, they closed the street from both sides, they entered the house and abducted a young man, they put him in the trunk of a Car, I called 130 six times, continuously the phone rang without any answer.

I was standing in the Roof with my AK-47 and just stared at them.

This is the first time I witness such an event, and I felt so hopeless, there were too many of them.

I cannot bear this happening to the lives of real people -

Maybe those stupid tv ads need to be changed.

"Don't bother to call 130, just watch and be afraid, be VERY AFRAID for you might be next and we won't be there to help you. If you believe this ad then you believe everything"

I wonder how much money was squandered on those ads and billboards???

NIW, "they" are Militia's I have no idea who they represent.

Anna mr, Too much presure.

Chikitita, Well you should point that to the U.S. Congress giving money to L3 for these useless adds.

Mariam, pray for Iraq.

Rubin, Why should I move? I like it here.. I think.

My next cigarette is dedicated to you, exclusively. Take care!

Rubin, The Family is 900 miles to the West, my wife left Baghdad six hours before the incident.

Zappy,

My understanding this summer, there are many fleeing or if they do not have the funds, moving into refugee camps into other areas of Iraq. Is this something you have heard about and could you discuss this more, if you have information and insight?

Miriam (Yes, I always pray for beloved Iraq, everyday, few times a day)

This sounds terrible. At such odds, you need a bunch of men with rocket launchers and not an AK. Damn.

"They" kidnapped my neighbor few days ago, my father told me by phone.

"They" are every where. "They" are now the real leaders of Iraq.

Please be careful! My prayers to you and your family

[nadia] "There are over 100 000 foreign soldiers that are not able to stop them. Over 100 000 armed foreign mercenaries that are not able to stop them. Over ??? Iraqi police that are not stopping them either. Very fishy indeed."

Add the supposed 300000 Iraqi troops. To me the only conclusion is that they operate with the tacit approval of the IP and the US military. How else do they navigate through the roadblocks and checkpoints without ever being caught?

Be careful, Zappy, be careful. I hear that Sadr can't even control factions of his own militia, although that might be propaganda from his office: he was grilled by Arab journalists on the militias, and he said that he had given orders for them not to attack and kidnap citizens. Forgive me for being cynical, Mr. Sadr, but I don't believe a word of this. . .

Again, be careful! I think about your safety everyday.
