At Least 100 Iraqis Killed or Found Dead
Source: Associated Press

In north Baghdad, gunmen wearing army uniforms stopped a bus carrying college students to a Shiite neighborhood, entered the vehicle and sprayed the passengers with gunfire, police said. Eight students were killed and two were wounded.

At another fake checkpoint near Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, gunmen killed six people from one family -- a woman, her 5-year-old son and four men -- and stole their car, police said. It was unclear whether the victims were Sunnis or Shiites.

Gunmen in two vehicles ambushed a car in the mostly Sunni neighborhood of Khadra carrying three plainclothes police officers from the major crimes unit, killing two and wounding the third, police said.

In all, at least 100 Iraqis were killed or found dead nationwide Tuesday, according to police. They included 33 people found shot execution-style -- presumably by sectarian death squads -- and their bodies scattered across Baghdad.

3. Just wait until this fiasco really gets going.

We ain't seen nuthin yet. We are about to witness at least a regional ME war, possibly World War III.
Carter's former national security advisor thinks the same thing as well.

7. And with bush's massive surge planned for this fall, we'll start seeing 200 dead per day.
It's pretty much a linear relationship... the more of our soldiers are there antagonizing their weirdos, the more dead Iraqis are found each morning.

9. Now, now settle down!
Number One: This isn't yet a civil war so it could be worse.

Number Two: The president is going to send more troops to handle the situation.

I actually heard a repuke recently say that this is not a civil war....I've been racking my brain to remember who that was. I know I about fell off my chair when I heard it.

I am so ashamed.
