BAGHDAD - An armed group wearing Iraqi national police uniforms kidnapped 25 workers at the offices of a telecoms company in central Baghdad on Monday, an interior ministry official said.

1. "Mission Accomplished" screamed the AWOL Cheerleader in Chief

But he was wrong.

He was wrong three years ago when he first said it.

And Commander AWOL is wrong today.

He lied us into an oil-profits war, then he screwed up the war and turned his back on our sons and daughters in the armed services.

Throw all the Deserters and Chickenhawks out of Washington now.

That would deplete the Republicon party seriously.

2. SHH!

You're not supposed to be paying attention to THAT bloody conflict.

3. By "an armed group wearing Iraqi national police unforms"?

Oh my. Now, where would they get those uniforms?

4. Better question is "Who are these people, really?"

6. I love the way we bomb the hell out of Iraq, try to force our culture

down their throats -- when we're really trying -- and then write up these completely beside the point articles about gangs --in uniform, oh no! -- capitalizing on the chaos.

Those guys are Iraqis trying to carve out their territory, whether Negroponte believes they are "his" or not.

They're never "his". You can't buy the will to live, you can only rent it.

5. Maybe it is because they

are Iraqi Police officers. Iraq is about to fall to an internal coup and we're caught right in the middle of the mess.
