Baghdad - Iraqi's interior ministry executed 28 criminals and militant cult members in the city of Basra, some 550 kilometres south of Baghdad, mediareports said on Monday. Abdul-Karim Khalaf, department chief in the ministry, told the Iraqi al-Sabah newspaper that the ministry had on Sunday carried out the 28 verdicts issued by Iraq's central criminal court.

"The execution of such criminals is considered as a message to all criminals in Basra," Khalaf was quoted as saying in al-Sabah. snip

He added that some 1,300 Iraqi police officers were fired for not efficiently contributing to the operation.

Khalaf said Iraqi troops managed to kill 300 militants and wound another 750 during clashes.

If someone would have tried to tell me at the onset that this was going to turn out like it has I would have known for sure they were crazy as a bedbug but here we are today in the biggest quagmire ever. The neoCON's knew full well how to rob us blind but had no idea what to do other than smash, grab and run. Damn I want to see some bodies swaying softly in the wind, and not to music either

I did have a pretty good idea that we'd be where we are today back then but not to the degree we are

Add: This has gotten totally out of hand. Someone needs to jerk a few knots in some asses is all I know for sure.
