US Colonel: "South Baghdad is enemy territory"

[Silicon]

Instead, daily life here has become a deadly lottery, a place so fraught with danger that one senior American military officer acknowledged at a briefing last month that nowhere in the area assigned to his troops could be considered safe.

"I would definitely say it's enemy territory," said Col. Stephen R. Lanza, the commander of the Fifth Brigade Combat Team, a unit of the First Cavalry Division that is responsible for patrolling a wide area of southern Baghdad with a population of 1.3 million people.

What I want to know is, why doesn't this so-called Colonel Lanza support our troops and our Commander-in-cheese?


Why does he embolden the terrorists so?


He must've voted for that Terrorist Kerry.


Besides, everyone knows that the insurgency's back was broken after the victorious battle of Fallujah.

Just breaking two arms and two legs, and we'll win it!
