BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A series of bombings and shootings killed at least 31 people Tuesday, most in the Baghdad area, as more U.S. troops were seen in the capital as part of a campaign to reduce Sunni-Shiite violence that threatens civil war.And yet the conservative nutjobs continue to claim that this is all in the imagination of the left-wing media. Democracy is thriving, they say. Guess those were democratic (or Democratic) bombs, huh?
Three bombs exploded simultaneously near the Interior Ministry buildings in central Baghdad, killing 10 people and wounding eight, police Lt. Bilal Ali Majid said.
A couple of hours later, two roadside bombs ripped through the main Shurja market, also in central Baghdad, killing 10 civilians and wounding 50, police Lt. Mohammed Kheyoun said.
The blasts were the latest sign of the security crisis that prompted U.S. commanders to bolster the American troop presence in the city. More U.S. troops patrolled the streets of the Ghazaliyah neighborhood, a mostly Sunni area and among the most violent parts of the capital.
Right.
And so it goes.

I love the old saying, "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck." Fast forward to Iraq. If Sunnis are killing Shiites, and Shiites are killing Kurds, and Kurds are killing Sunnis, it’s a civil war. Bush and his cronies won’t dare admit there's civil war going on in Iraq. If they do, they can’t win the hearts and minds of the Arab world by killing innocent Iraqi civilians, and more American troops. Good grief!
I use to live in Champaign, and I really miss the place. I just found your blog and I really like it. I’ll be back.

Thanks, mom. You're absolutely right. Of course the other possibility is that our Presidolt doesn't KNOW what's going on ove there. After all, it's pretty hard to keep up with everything that moron doesn't know.
