Gunman wounds U.S. commander at barrier wall in Baghdad

[Ilsa]

BAGHDAD A senior U-S commander has been wounded by small arms fire while inspecting a security wall being built around a Sunni enclave in Baghdad.

The military says the attack was in an area whose residents have been victims of retaliatory mortar strikes by Shiite militants -- often following bombings blamed on Sunnis.

Construction of the wall has drawn strong criticism from residents who say it is a form of sectarian discrimination. Followers of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr (mook-TAH'-duh ehl SAH'-dur) say they fear Shiite areas in Baghdad, such as Sadr City, will be next to see the U-S-built barriers.

1. Solution: Build a bigger wall.

Any "senior commander" in Iraq at this point is a hand-selected yes-man for the Bush mafia.

Give him his Purple Heart bandaid and put his ass back on the streets of Baghdad.

I bet he won't leave the Green Zone after this.

2. Hell, he probably wanted out of the Green Zone to avoid a mortar

attack or another car bomb. He's finding out that there are no safe havens in Iraq, not for US Commanders, not for soldiers, not for citizens of Iraq.
