Sheiks meet with 2nd BCT commander
FOB KALSU, Iraq -- Local tribal leaders of the Babil province met here Jan. 22 to discuss issues and concerns within the community.
Col. John Tully, commander, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, and Iraqi Brig. Gen. Qais Hamza, Babil, provincial police chief, took the opportunity to discuss security and project building in the area with more than 15 sheiks.
This event marks the first time a meeting of this caliber was organized since the Warhorse brigade assumed responsibility of the area earlier this month.
“Our main mission is to help the Iraqi army and police establish security in the Babil province,” said Tully, in his opening statement to the forum.
The central and southern parts of the province have seen steady progress over the past three years, and the desire is that the north can soon catch up with the rest of the province, said Sheik Taha Al Janabi. The security there is still in question and it’s anticipated that the pressure being put on terrorists by 2nd BCT Soldiers will result in stability in the area.
Most of the sheiks spoke about the security and how it was important to continue to strive for a good life in Iraq, said Chief Warrant Officer Desi Roberts, information officer, 2nd BCT. Several of them discussed the need for water and road projects and school refurbishment in their tribal area.
With security comes stability, and with stability come investments, projects and jobs, Tully said. He asked the leaders, who have great influence with their villagers, to tell people to stop attacking Coalition and Iraqi Security Forces so stability can materialize.
“Iraqis have accomplished much in the past year and have much to be proud of,” he said. “Every day, more and more Iraqis want to be part of the new government.”
Democracy was a success when we had it in the 1940s, and it was a good era in Iraq history, said Sheik Kader Abass Shided. The spate of elections in 2005 renews hope that those times are on the horizon.
Both Tully and Qais explained to the sheiks how to contact the appropriate people to discuss any problems or issues they may have. Qais set a time when sheiks could come to his office and voice concerns, and Tully talked about bases and battalion leaders in the region available to offer assistance to anyone who needs it.
The group agreed to continue these meetings in the future in order to help move nation and its people in a positive direction.

Migration, problem what problem?
Strangely enough the govt doesnt have figures for the extra costs on the working population or costs in relation to benefits or the extra strain on the NHS. Of course should the govt start looking into the strains hoards of illegal/semi legal migrants put on the services they will be tarred with the rascist tag.
Classic quote of the day: Over in the Commons, they can't wait. The Labour MP Steve Pound promised: "He'll have a saucer of milk waiting for him. And a litter tray."- referring to Mr Tiddles - aka George Galloway.
The Morals of New Labour: article found at http://europhobia.blogspot.com/
You can tell where New Labour has its priorities an Early Day Motion congratulating the Parliamentary Labour Party on its centenary, tabled by Ann Clwydd yesterday and it was already signed by 147 other MPs by 10am the next day. Link EDM 1496
Another Early Day Motion calling for increased government funding for children's hospices to enable them to die with some kind of dignity, tabled by Bob Spink yesterday and - despite apparently having been inspired by a campaign by The Sun - signed thus far by only 2 other MPs. - EDM 1500 Hurrah for our elected officials having their hearts in the right place. Total cunts to a man, well except for the 2 who signed the other motion.
**If anyone from Newport reads this then Jessica Morden our political lightweight all wimmin selected Nu Labour clone that never rebels against the govt and who is rarely seen in the hallowed house has signed EDM 1496, but not EDM 1500. Paul Flynn the shifty bearded libelist - whos picture is on the sidebar and lacks the honour to resign after losing a libel case - he has not signed either EDM.
Iran blocks BBC's Persian language site. Guess that shows that no matter how left wing and trendy you are, no matter how much you support islam, no matter how much you refer to terrorist untermenchen as insurgents fighting the "occupation of Iraq", no matter how much you howl in moral outrage at the US blasting gun toting islamonazis off to meet Allah, no matter how much fluff and lefty spin you put on it....They still hate you for being a kafir and want us all wiped off the map..Iran closes down access to El Beeb.
Silly story of PC madhats in the UK. Firefighters have beeen told not to use new chairs until they have read a 4 page manual issued at the request of a union health and safety representative.
The manual includes a warning that states: "Only personnel who have been instructed in the use of the Calcot reclining chair are allowed to use them." - It gets better - he service said that staff would not be "trained" in how to use them - but admitted there was a ban in place until staff had read the instructions. How do I use that chair again?Sir Ian Blair has lost the plot, saw him on El Beeb whittering on about "institutional racism" in the police. Oh and guess who El Beeb dragged up from under a rock but the gutless rascist slug Lee "white buckra to blame for de poor status of de black folks" Jasper.
This white hater who is a senior advisor to Red Ken (mayor of London and terrorist supporter) on race relations. Well the whole section was Jasper banging on about oppression of blacks, rascist police, rascist this etc etc. This from a man who made his living playing the race card in the UK, feeding off of white liberals guilt trips. Jasper you are a talentless rascist cunt of the first order and I am sure you would be happier living in Zimbabwe with ol Bob Mugabe where you could both grow old dreaming up ways of oppressing white folks.
No week would be complete without a bit on lard arse John Prescott our countrys Deputy PM and total gobshyte, and so here is a bit on his Pathfinder scheme. This is where 168 million has been spent so far on consultants and looks likely to cost the taxpayer over 1.2 billion(although as that is a govt figure you can bet it will end up costing more).
-
"Perfectly decent historic houses are being condemned on the basis of ten minute external surveys in a blatant abuse of the powers granted under the Housing Act. Householders are being forced out of their beloved homes following minimal and often misinformed consultations...It is the return of the clean sweep, the mass clearances of the fifties and sixties from which we all assumed the lessons had been learned - the buildings are not the cause of the problems."
The article is here at the Tax Payers Alliance: Prescott now wants to buy your home on the cheap. And theres more at Save Britains Heritage:link here.
More waste from the New Labour lovies sipping bottled water at the tax payers expense: Govt pouring our money away on water for the hoards of pen pushers. The Home Office was the worst offender, spending £46,665.34 on bottled water in 2004-05, although the Treasury was unable to separate mineral water from the cost of "teas, coffees and biscuits" which totalled £200,344."
Lastly this man is a knob
The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: ‘The Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Muslims, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him...’- blah blah blah.
