The New from Bagdad is now getting murkier. The British Troops have raided a prison in Bagdad to rescue their own soldiers who had been imprisoned there. We are given to understand that thye Government in Bagadad, a Quisling Government, is operating directly under the control and command of the Coalition forces.Not a single decision is taken without the allied commenders being taken into confidence. This being the case how did the British soldiers get trapped by the Iraqi Security forces. Why were the Coalition Command structure not notified? Not only that, what authority does the British Army have to raid a Prison under the charge og the Iraqi government. The most important question: How were the soldiers captured in the first palce.
These questions have not been answered in spite of the fact that the Irqi militia seems to have ambushed the attaking British troops. In Western Bagdad on the same day % US marines were killed and 4 private security guards also died in the attack in Mosul. Rumsfield is bent on privatising the War and this is against the Geneva Convention which state that the security of the occupied territories is the responsibility of the invading forces i.e legitimate armed forces.
The Irqi constitution has opened up a whole new set of problems and the Government in "power" is unable to cope.
