CALDEIRÃO DE BOLSA

Viu-se...os que da 51 divisão ontem se tinham rendido afinal estão a dar lutas aos imperialistas norte-americanos.


Dá-me a impressão que os estão a arrastar para a guerrilha o que vai fazer cair muitos ianques e despoletar uma forte impopularidade ao bushas.

WASHINGTON - An entire division of the Iraqi army, numbering 8,000 soldiers, surrendered to coalition forces in southern Iraq (news - web sites) Friday, Pentagon (news - web sites) officials said.


Iraq's 51st Infantry Division surrendered as coalition forces advanced toward Basra, Iraq's second largest city. The mechanized division had about 200 tanks before the war, according to independent analysts and U.S. officials.


The 51st was one of the better equipped and trained in Iraq's regular army forces and was the key division protecting Basra, a major transportation and oil shipment hub on the Shatt al-Arab waterway that leads to the Persian Gulf.


The division also was important to Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s government for keeping Shiite Muslims — the majority in southern Iraq — from rebelling against Saddam's largely Sunni government.
