Of course, there’s a plan for Iraq! There’s always been one. The plan is a ‘New Way Forward.’ That implies sending more troops to Iraq but there are no guarantees of overall success or quick results in the new U.S.-Iraqi security drive in Baghdad said George Casey, the U.S. commander in Iraq on Monday. That implies we might have to wait for summers or perhaps autumn to look for results or perhaps a ‘new plan.’ However, till then more bloodshed, more killings of both Iraqi and American alike.
The fresh killings include female students at Mustansiriya University in a predominantly Shiite area who were waiting for buses to take them home when a suicide bomber blew himself up outside the university catching students fleeing from the car bomb attack. Earlier a double explosion tore through Baghdad’s mainly Shiite Bab-el-Sheikh neighborhood leaving 15 dead. In the northern part of the capital, gunmen opened fire on shoppers killing ten people before getting away in vehicles. The United Nations estimates that more than 34,000 Iraqis died in violence in 2006 and charged that some of the killers came from inside Iraqi security forces and went unpunished.
But still there are plans for Iraq. However, the most interesting aspect that arises in the plans of winning or losing is what’s there for the Iraqis?
