Gunmen kill 40 in Baghdad rampage - Negropontes death squads at work

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Up to 40 people, including women and children, were killed on Sunday when Shiite gunmen went on a rampage against residents in predominantly Sunni districts of Baghdad, Interior Ministry and police sources said.

It was the worst outbreak of sectarian violence to date in the capital, which has seen hundreds of bodies dumped in the streets over past months amid worsening communal bloodshed.

Baghdad's Yarmuk hospital said it had received at least 17 bodies. The Interior Ministry said it had transferred 20 bodies to the hospital.

"Gunmen are killing Sunni civilians according to their identity cards," an Interior Ministry source told Reuters.

2. How do you have a civil war in a city that is under lock down by the USA?
The USA is still enforcing a dusk until dawn curfew on the entire population and manning checkpoints everywhere.

There is no civil war. What we have here is US trained death squads killing who we are allowing them to kill.

The USA did the same thing in Central and South America for decades.

4. sorry I was being ironic.
Negroponte may be the biggest psycho in Bu$hCo, which IS saying something when compared to Rummy and the big Dick.

7. The "Beeb" is one of the few places where they'll call it like it is...
Outside of the progressive media, no big U.S. news outlet will call it a civil war.
