I said in some because still in many areas of that big citie people are hiding from the few elements of the extint regime that are left but in the eastern part of Baghad all is celebrations but also looting taking place in the buildings of where the regime worked.

On our local station last night - they said if Iraq is to survive they are going to have to get a gov't in place with a police state to control the masses. After I heard that - it really is true cause these people have been so suppressed all these years. Lets hope they don't self=destruct with their new freedom.

There is Chaos in Iraq.We are supposed to be the enforcer.We have ample Military presence in parts of the City,however,the desperados know where we are are what they can get away with.
IF we are not careful,Civil Unrest may put thier lives and the lives of our Troops in peril.I was hoping the Military would have had a better handle on this..Remember,we are dealing with poor people in a city the size of Detroit.This is dangerous,and may be a serious wrinkle in our efforts.

I think our military is having to have eyes in the back of their heads so to say....Keeping an eye out for any Sadamn's military and then keeping civil rest in the country. Our men and women can handle this and I know they will do the best they can do.
