Short Two Minutes From MSNBC. Not for impressionable viewers. USA Army is building a wall around two million iraqi citizens potentially uncooperative to the Iraqi occupation. Sadr City is home to the Mahdi army.

Check out the news reports on the size of the US embassy there.

Jesus... this is kind of important.

I don't know if that whole, "hey, let's put in a HUGE WALL" idea has really worked that well for that long historically but hey, whatever works I guess.

I agree Kulpims. WTF?

I have no idea why but watching this video just made me laugh. It's insane! What the hell is that wall going to accomplish? and how many lives are going to be lost just to put the damn thing up? Props to the news reporter tho, wouldnt want to be in his shoes thats for damn sure.

The answer is Two, two soldiers have died while trying to put that wall up, and 15% of that company has been injured. Articles about the Wall here.

Sad thing is some concrete contractor is laughing. During the Bush Admin prices for everything, all over the world have soared, yet oil companies like Exxon are now earning $1,300 a second. Is George Bush a failed oil man? Not anymore, I bet he's the "coolest" Oil Man in Texas these days. Once he's out the White House he is off to Paraguay to live on his 10,000 acre ranch.

^Fedquip: 100,000 acre.

Hmm. Seems to me they should put up a wall like that on the Mexico / US border...
