AP -(4 more US troops killed) 35 Die in Iraq Attacks; Unity Talks Snarl

35 Die in Iraq Attacks; Unity Talks Snarl

By QASSIM ABDUL-ZAHRA, Associated Press Writer 44 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Efforts to form a unity government suffered a new setback Sunday as Iraqi leaders postponed a parliament session after failing to agree on a prime minister. Bombs targeted Shiites near a mosque and on a bus as attacks nationwide killed at least 35 people.


Four more Marines were reported killed in fighting west of Baghdad as the U.S. death toll for this month rose to 47 — compared with 31 for all of March.

U.S. officials believe the best way to stem the violence is for the Iraqis to establish a government comprising Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, paving the way for the United States to start withdrawing its 133,000 troops.

But progress has stalled over Sunni and Kurdish opposition to the Shiite choice of Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari to head the new government. With al-Jaafari refusing to step aside, acting speaker Adnan Pachachi called a parliament session for Monday, hoping the full legislature could agree on a new leadership after the politicians failed.

1. US officials believe, US officials believe...
Nothing they 'believe' has panned out so far. What makes these clucks thing they're finally gonna hit the jackpot?

blivet and Co. killed another four Americans and 35 Iraqis today. I wonder if they ever look at it that way? Nah, I'm betting they think they're the victims. That they are being thwarted by uncivilized savages too damn stupid to appreciate all the freedoms they've been given by blivet & Co.

2. Shovel four more under and let me work......

Grass Bush

Pile the bodies high in Austerlitz and Waterloo Iraq
Shovel them under and let me work--
I am the grass; bush; I cover all.

And pile them high in Gettyburg Baghdad
And pile them high in Ypres and Vedum Mossoul and Al Fallaujah

Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor:
What place is this?

I am the grass bush.
Let me work.

5. Never Forget!
Bring Our Troops Home NOW!!!!!!!!!

"Four Marines — three from Regimental Combat Team Five and one from the 2/28 Brigade Combat Team — died Saturday in Anbar province, the U.S. command said Sunday.

"Their deaths raised to at least 2,376 the number of U.S. military members who have died since the war began in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. The rise in U.S. casualties followed a sharp drop in March, which saw the lowest number of American dead in Iraq since February 2004...."

6. Bush and the right wingers have been wrong about everything so far...
they have been wrong and out of touch with reality. Why allow an administration who has consistently been wrong about everything continue to lead our country down the path to destruction and bankruptcy? Iraq did not attack us on 9-11, Saddam had no ties to Osama bin Ladin, and there were no WMDs.

How much more evidence do we need to understand that this group of PNACer's are completely out of control, and bringing this country to complete ruination?

8. Bush and gang don't care about human life
.
.
.

and American voters are too stupid to realize it

I'm giving the American voters the benefit of the doubt here

Calling them stupid

Maybe they just don't care . .

That would be worse.

12. Great...
The American people want to know how much further they have to go before it gets better in Iraq:

American People: Are we there yet?
Bush: Just a little further.
American People: Are we there yet?
Bush: Just a little further.
American People: Are we there yet?
Bush: Just a little further.
American People: Are we there yet?
Bush: Just a little further.
American People: Are we there yet?
Bush: Just a little further.
.....

I could go on but you get the point.
