World War I
World War I was a military conflict centered on Europe that began in the summer of 1914. The fighting ended in late 1918. This conflict involved all of the world's great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (centred around the Triple Entente) and the Central Powers. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 million combatants were killed, due largely to great technological advances in firepower without corresponding ones in mobility. It was the second deadliest conflict in history.

Note the low-skilled, lemming marines that are clueless once leaders are killed/wounded and not there to tell them exactly what-to-do and when-to-do-it Crappy individual camouflage wearing green woodland in tan desert Iraq makes marines on foot easy targets to hit www.combatreform.com Amtracks and Humvee trucks packed full of ammunition ready to explode if enemy fire reaches them or their internal fuel tanks (poor designs) Where were the RPG pre-det layers of armor? No gunshields on top of vehicles which are also in absurd woodland camouflage making them easy aimpoints for enemy RPGs, what were the marines doing during the preparation for OIF? Ever hear of a paint brush? Thanks to USMC stupidity and unreadiness for even easy Nation-State War (NSW) the US Army's fully tracked, mechanized 3rd Infantry Division sat in west Baghdad for 6 days waiting for the AWOL/UA gyrenes to show up to take their sector! Fault for Saddam & subordinates escaped to start a guerrilla war against us rests with the fucktard USMC—that persists in its errors! www.combatreform.com Incompetent marines are full of excuses about not knowing about the enemy when IT WAS THEIR OWN SYSTEMIC LACK OF PREPARATION FOR PLANET EARTH REALITIES AND UNSOUND TACTICS AND EQUIPMENT THAT WOULD BE FOOLISH REGARDLESS OF WHOEVER THEY FOUGHT--WAS THE CAUSE OF THE DISASTER

Islamic cleric Iyad Jamal Al-Din - His greatest interview so far
Ayad Jamal Aldin or Iyad Jamal al-Din (Arabic: إياد جمال الدين), full name Iyad Raouf Mohammed Jalal al-Din (Born 1961), is a prominent Iraqi intellectual, politician and religious cleric. He was a member of the Iraqi parliament from 2005 until 2010 as the representative of Nasiriyah and a leading figure in Ayad Allawi's Iraqi National List (Iraqiyya) until his departure in the fall of 2009. After Ayad Allawi sent a delegation to Iran, Ayad Jamal Aldin became disillusioned with Iraqiyya and left the list to form his own party, the Ahrar Party, based on the principles of separation of religion and the state (a principle Iraqiyya ostensibly shares), courage and integrity (principles Ayad Jamal Aldin and his followers feel strongly that Iraqiyya does not share). Speaking of his fallout with Ayad Allawi in a February 14, 2010 interview with Al-Arabiya TV's Suhair Al-Qaisi, the imam said: Since he (Ayad Allawi) sent a delegation to Iran, he cannot expect my support.

In 1922—the same year that Howard Carter shocked the world with his discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb in Egypt—a little-known British archaeologist, Charles Leonard Woolley, began excavations near the town of Nasiriyah at the site of Ur—one of ancient Mesopotamia's most important cities. His most remarkable discovery was a massive cemetery with thousands of burials, including a small number of rich tombs belonging to the kings and queens of Ur from around 2500 BCE. The Royal Cemetery of Ur and its spectacular finds still fascinate and challenge us today. In this exhibition, you will encounter one of the top ten archaeological discoveries of all time and explore early Mesopotamia through the lens of research carried out in the decades following Woolley's incredible discovery.
Conservation worries for Iraq's ancient Ur site
The buried treasures of Ur, which lies on the outskirts of Nasiriyah about 300 kilometres south of Baghdad, still beckon foreign archaeologists who have begun cautiously returning to Iraq. But experts are warning that erosion and lack of conservation is putting the ancient capital of Sumeria's survival in danger.Duration: 00:46

The population of Nasiriyah is nearly exclusively Shī‘a Muslims with large Mandaean and Sunni muslim communities, until 1951 the town was a home to a sizable Jewish community. After the failed uprising of 1991, many families were massacred by Saddam Hussein's forces whilst thousands fled from Iraq to other countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Sweden.
Nasiriyah is the centre of a date-growing area, but many other agricultural products are produced here as well. The city's industries include boatbuilding, carpentry and silver working.
The old parts of the town are built mainly from sun-dried brick and this part of the town is still enclosed by a mud wall. The newer parts are dominated by standard Iraqi block buildings.
The city museum has a large collection of Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Abbasid artifacts. The ruins of the ancient cities of Ur and Larsa are located nearby.
History
The city was founded in 1872 by Sheikh Nasir (Pasha:was a high rank in the Ottoman Empire political system) AL SADOON (Prophet MOHAMMED Descended) of the Muntafiq tribal confederation, after whom it is named. During World War I the British conquered the city, controlled at the time by the Ottoman Empire, in July 1915. Some 400 British and Indian and up to 2,000 Turkish soldiers were killed in the battle for Nasiriyah on 24 July 1915.Nasiriyah is where the Iraqi Communist Party was founded around 1932. It was mostly dominated by secular and leftist groups, and the founder of the Iraqi Baath Party, Foud al-Rikaby, was from Nasiriyah. During 1932-1963 the city was the center for liberal and progressive thinking.
Some of the leading thinkers who grew up in that area were Aziz al-Syed Jasim, Aziz Abdul Sahab, Sadiq Atemish, Mohamed Ali al-Nasiri, along with many poets (e.g., Ayniah al-Husewani, Aryan Syed Khalif, etc), singers (e.g., Hazery Abu Aziz, Taleb al-Qayraqwli, Hussein Nameh, etc) and artists (Huessien al-Halali, Majed al-Najar, etc.).
During 1940s the city was the chamber for oppositions to monarchy and to the feudal system. Students union, Peasants association, and workers played an important role in sensitizing people to the nature of corruption and abuses which were committed by the government in Baghdad and its supporters. These associations under the leadership of the Communist Party were instrumental in setting the stage for July 14, 1958 Revolution. Hassan al-atybai and Aziz Al-Syed Jasim along with many intellectuals led the public celebrations which took place in many part of the governorate immediately after the Revolution.
During the 1991 Gulf War, Nasiriyah marked the furthest point to which coalition forces penetrated Iraq, with the United States 82nd Airborne Division reaching the main road just outside the city. In March 1991, following the American withdrawal at the war's end, the Shia population of Nasiriyah took part in the revolt against the rule of Saddam Hussein. The revolt was violently subdued by the Iraqi military with heavy loss of life and much physical damage.
Until the 2003 war, Nasiriyah was home to one of the biggest communities of Mandeans in Iraq.
Iraq War (2003-2010)
In March 2003, Nasiriyah was one of the first major battles of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Phillip Mitchell of the International Institute for Strategic Studies described Nasiriyah's strategic importance to The Guardian: "Nasiriyah is a major administrative headquarters and is also [Iraqi General] Majid's military district headquarters. It is a major strategic crossing point of the Euphrates. For all those reasons Nasiriyah will be well defended, which will slow the Mech [invasion] down for a while."On March 23, a US convoy was ambushed near the city, killing 11 soldiers and resulting in multiple soldiers, including Private Jessica Lynch and Specialist Shoshana Johnson, becoming prisoners of war during the conflict. Heavy fighting took place between Iraqi forces and the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade under the call sign "Task Force Tarawa" of the US Marine Corps between about March 23 and March 29, in which 18 Marines were killed and over 150 were wounded, including a number hit by friendly fire from Air Force A-10 aircraft, but the Iraqi resistance was crushed fairly rapidly thereafter. The town has been relatively calm since the fall of Saddam Hussein. A truck bomb killed 17 Italian soldiers and 11 civilians in November 2003 (see 2003 Nasiriyah bombing), and clashes erupted here in April 2004 during the Mahdi uprising.
