1. This is what happens when you get too much god in yer politics.....

"Text in the video said the group, Al Qaeda Organization of Holy War in Iraq, was "implementing the ruling of God" against Kanani."

2. Well, this seems to be working. (sarcasm)

3. Allawi must shudder at this.

Bush unleashed a horror story with his invasion. The killing of those locals closely associated with the invasion force is a predictable part of the horror.

4. Not only did the Iraqis fail to unite and welcome the U.S.

They failed to unite at all. Now they're killing each other over who sides with us.


Hussein was a thug, no doubt. But at least there was only one band of thugs in power before the invasion. Now there are at least two: the pro-U.S. thugs and the anti-U.S. thugs.

Add #3 if you count the extreme wing of the Kurds in the north.
