Ok Psycho I went along with the article. I even found it interesting until you made this remark.

Seems to me that a couple of dumbasses with car bombs doesn't make a civil war.

How could you say something so stupid? A couple of car bombs does not shoot the arms off of our soldiers. In the last 2 weeks our soldiers have suffered more injuries than in all of the war! The ICUs are all full and they have had to turn another wing of the hospital into an ICU. The head wounds have tripled and amputations have become routine. Of course Um Qasr is quiet it is the Naval strong hold! The damn generals live there!

The boots on the ground are in a civil war!!

I read yours now you read mine, please because you do not know what you are talking about and you are not helping our guys.

THE BOOM OUTSIDE BAGHDAD December 26, 2006 -- UMQASR, IRAQ WHILE the American political elite is using Iraq as an ex cuse for fighting internal political wars, a different reality is taking shape in parts of this war-torn nation. Wherever some measure of security is assured - that is to say in more than 80 percent of Iraq - towns and villages long left to die a slow death are creeping back to life. Nowhere is this slow but steady return to life more startling than in Um Qasr, in the southeast extremity of Iraq Rating: 5
