U.S.: 60 Pct of Baghdad Not Controlled

Security forces in Baghdad have full control in only 40 percent of the city five months into the pacification campaign, a top American general said Saturday as U.S. troops began an offensive against two al-Qaida strongholds on the capital's southern outskirts.

Let me get my head around this statistic.

What the military is telling us is that, after 4 years of war in Iraq, we only control 40% of Baghdad.

That amounts to 10% control of the capital PER YEAR since the war began.

So will we need to be in Iraq at least ANOTHER 6 YEARS just to control Baghdad????

How many more years to control the entire country?

10?

20?

50?

Slowly, but not yet surely, Kosovo is moving towards independence. Whether this is a foolish claim or a soon to be confirmed fact is highly contested But just know this important fact about Kosovo.

"The determination by the U.S and NATO, at all costs, to occupy Kosovo and virtually all of Yugoslavia, is spurred on by the enticement of abundant natural resources. Kosovo alone has the richest mineral resources in all of Europe west of Russia. The New York Times observed that "the sprawling state-owned Trepca mining complex, the most valuable piece of real estate in the Balkans, is worth at least $5 billion." producing gold, silver, pure lead, zinc, cadmium, as well as tens of millions of dollars in profits annually. "Kosovo also possesses 17 billion tons of coal reserves and Kosovo (like Serbia and Albania) also has oil reserves."

So with that in mind E Verteta is your source for NEWS AND ANALYSIS on current events taking place in Kosovo. With News from the US as well.
