Welcome on this 61st anniversary of D-Day edition of the Iraq Report! Our goal at Winds of Change.NET is to give you one power-packed briefing of insights, news and trends from Iraq that leaves you stimulated, informed, and occasionally amused every Monday & Thursday. This briefing is brought to you by Joel Gaines of No Pundit Intended and Andrew Olmsted of Andrew Olmsted dot com.

TOP TOPICS

American troops have secured a complex of bunkers in western Iraq they claim insurgents were using to hide and resupply themselves. The complex was apparently empty when it was secured, indicating that the insurgents could have been tipped to the raid.
The Iraqi government admits it is may have targeted innocent Sunnis in its latest bid to restore some measure of security to Iraq. While perhaps understandable given where the insurgency finds much of its support, this admission may heighten tensions between Iraq’s ethnic groups and bring the country nearer to the dangers of full civil war.
Meanwhile, Bill Roggio provides an update on Operation Thunder (aka. Operation Lightning) - and al-Qaeda’s even more disastrrous Sunni “hearts and minds” policy. Anbar provinces’s leading Albu Mahal tribe is not happy with the insurgents, and intends to do something about it.
Other Topics Today Include: another Al Qaeda leader captured; 38 dead in a day; shutting down infiltration routes; Operation Lighting; Zarqawi’s health; helping Iraqi business; Hussein’s trial approaches; Carnival of the Liberated; Syria, the U.S. and the EU.

It is not easy rebuilding a nation that was under the repressive ruler and his murderous sons.

The amazing thing is how many Sunni it seems have not learned anything, they are still trying to imitate him.
