US President George W Bush has said "tangible progress" has been made in rebuilding Iraq's economy, but this had "not always gone as well as we hoped".
In a speech aimed at winning US public support ahead of the Iraqi general election next week, Mr Bush focused on the rehabilitation of public services.
The cities of Najaf and Mosul had seen improvement, he said, but poor security had hampered reconstruction efforts.
Freind of mine back from Najaf area recently tells me there's electricty an hour a day, on the good days.
Freedom's on the march, baby!

What they don't tell you is that it gets put on to fire up 'the chair'.
One hour more than before?
Don't people ever get tired of jejune and uninteresting stereotypes?
The electricity was on 24 hours a day. Yes ... muslims use electricity.... New discoveries even suggest that they are part of the "**** Sapiens" species... surprise isn't it Nepthys? :)
As for the economy .... umm .... yeah everything from Asprin to Oil refineries' spare parts were banned for more than 12 years ... now they're not, what do you expect?

psst... the jokes on you!
Sarcasm ftw!
It could be worse they could have a maniacal dictator dismembering disenters and raping their daugthers while they're being dismembered.
And that's a b*llsh*t BBC story which is a well known commy rag.

Yeah, it has been really booming at the Iraqi police recruitment centers as of late, hotter than a firecracker.

I am aware that the OP (and Nepthys) were skeptical and sarcastic of the news piece. Yet I didn't appreciate the "one hour more than before" line. So I replied with more sarcasm.
In conclusion: pssst.... read between the lines amigo.
The entire country is a mess, I really wonder if the area will be cleaned up and habitable.
i think what Bush ment was, American economy is booming from the money being spent on American contractors in Iraq.
some day, after we leave, there will be peace in Iraq too.

It's a close call, but I actually slightly prefer that to blowing up anyone possible, including American servicemen and their own police/politicians.
Ok, that makes me sound somewhat misogynistic.
There was at least law (granted, a corrupt and evil one) and control that we were keeping an eye on, as opposed to the chaos and general mayhem that we can't keep under wraps. And don't give me any sh[/b]it about peacekeeping: there's an obvious, severe problem when this many bombings and assassinations continue to take place in most areas of the country.

well lets see, we have Americans torturing, and yes, raping them in OUR prisons. all under the guise of "protecting" them.
Hussin butcherd a few hundred radicals trying to overthrow him. radicals WE bankrolled, while Bush closed off an entire city and killed every living being in it in Falujja.
here is a reality for you. WE have killed more Iraqi citizens in the last 15 years than Hussin did in his lifetime. and torture? rofl, we one up Hussin, WE REDEFINED the word TORTURE so it is not entirely illegal now.
as far as the BBC being a liberal commie rag, well, to republicans, anything other than FOX NEWS is a liberal commie rag.
sounds like the Taliban, doesnt it? we have become worse than our enemy. we have become....evil.

Whoopee! All you Smasharoo fanboys who've been hiding in the shadows waiting for your wise leader to return must be cumming in your silk panties now.
How exciting, the spouter of all that is wrong has returned...I'm sure he still owes some money for his electoral predictions too btw. But regardless, nice to have your negativity back, you definetely can whine like no other before.
Nice little cheap shot at the Iraq economy btw, I'm so glad we got info from your "buddy"...now I know the truth, thank God! For a while there I was actually trying to find multiple sources of information and taking time to write e-mails back and forth with multiple soldiers on the ground. But now I have your buddy to fill me in on the real skinny...thanks man, you're a life saver.
EVERYTHING IS FINE, NOTHING IS BROKEN.

I'm someone who's posted here under this name for a couple of years now, I'm just not religious about it like some people are. I'm not some person using an alt or anything along those lines, though I've been accuses of that a few times before.
However, I've just never really liked Smash...it seems to me he always just makes up convenient "facts" about things. Like his super secret military service, which he used to support his "fact" that US pilots intentionally target civilians. That was a cute one. Or he buddy in Najaf...I'm sorry, back from Najaf. Personally I think he's complete BS, good at talking it but BS with a ribbon on it is still BS.
I could be very much wrong on that, I just don't think I am. If I am, my bad, my pink elephant friend back from Baghdad told me it was so.

Deby,
I'm sure that's what the americans pre-ww2 thought. Well Japans not so bad, who cares if we have an emperor anyway, at least they'll stop bombing us if we surrender. Makes perfect sense to me.
And no Iraq is not any worse than south dallas or la or miami; just leave it to pinko commies like smash to equate a roadside bomb or two to complete military failure. Man I'd love to hear his opinion about all the drive bys in the u.s. cities I've just mentioned.

OK I'm done. Now what exactly do those three images prove again? Let's see...oh wait...nothing that's right! It was a 30 second clip. Do you know why the pilot was over Al-Kharma? Do you know what his mission was? Do you know if he was called in for air support from ground units? Do you know what time of day/night it is? Do you know if there was a curfew in place at the time? Do you know whether or not for that particular area, at that particular time, on that particular day, if a group that size in the middle of a street was unusual? Do you know if gunfire came from that area within the past hour or two? Do you know anything but what you have ascertained from an "independent" media source based on a 30 second clip???

Britain's Channel 4 News has broadcast a 30-second video clip of a U.S. pilot killing a group of what appear to be civilians on an Iraqi street. The video includes an audio track of the pilot's conversation with mission controllers. As the UK Independent notes, "At no point during the exchange between the pilot and controllers does anyone ask whether the Iraqis are armed or posing a threat."
It doesn't appear that they cared about any of the facts you pointed at, they just wasted a group of people not knowing whether they were hostile or running from hostiles.
