Iraq Calls on Neighbors to Stop Insurgency
Iraq's prime minister called on Syria on Thursday to block the infiltration of foreign fighters trying to start a civil war. More than a dozen Iraqis, including an Oil Ministry engineer, and four U.S. soldiers were reported killed in the ongoing daily bloodshed.

In the day's deadliest incident, a Sunni lawmaker said 10 of his private guards were killed during a chaotic battle with insurgents and Apache helicopter-backed U.S. forces, whom he accused of killing several of his aides. The U.S. military said it was investigating the incident, which it called a terrorist attack on Fawaz al-Jarba's home.

In a message aimed at Syria, Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari said non-Iraqis in neighboring countries filtering across the border were responsible for carrying out "sabotage activities."

9. Come on people, we can't even secure the Mexico border
How do you expect the border of Iraq be sealed off?

I think the easiest way is to move the army cross it and make two countries one.

Iraq war is just one of Bush's four more wars scheme. Let's roll.

(evil laugh...)
