Civil War Looms With 68 Killed in Baghdad
AP - 26 minutes ago
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Sunnis and Shiites traded bombings and mortar fire against mainly religious targets in Baghdad well into the night Tuesday, killing at least 68 people a day after authorities lifted a curfew that had briefly calmed a series of sectarian reprisal attacks. At least six of Tuesday's attacks hit clearly religious targets, concluding with a car bombing after sundown at the Shiite Abdel Hadi Chalabi mosque in the Hurriyah neighborhood that killed 23 and wounded 55. A separate suicide bombing killed 23 people at an east Baghdad gas station, where people had lined up to buy kerosine.

6. You're right, so obviously Yahoo is lying

they have to be. Our Great Leader is always right. If He is wrong, it is the fault of the person who found out.

[northofdenali]

14. No, not the fault of whoever found out..........

but whoever let the world know they found out........

[FreedomAngel82]

17. That darn liberal media is at it again!

[Canuckistanian]

20. Obviously the fault of the Clenis(TM)

There's no end to his treachery.

[rodeodance]

8. yes, he just said that a few short hours ago.

[rodeodance]

2. guick, tell George.

[uppityperson]

7. Yeah, he gets all his news from the news.

He won't notice the people crying and asking for help and not getting enough comforting by the gvt until he sees it on tv (relates to Katrina thread elsewhere).

[Sydnie]

15. But he has to wait for that news from the news until the

dvd series is released. :rofl:

[uppityperson]

16. I know. Amazing, isn't it.

absolutely amazing.

3. How much more can these people take?

First Iraq/Iran, then Gulf War 1, and then the occupation and the insurgency and now this. How can you raise children there?

[Frustratedlady]

12. They Can't Raise Children....

We've been there so long and they hate us so much, they are raising future insurgents. I feel so sorry for the people who are trying to cope with this insanity...Riverbend, for example. How can the children come out of this experience without being affected? Bless their hearts.

4. "Civil War" "Spying".....

Slowly, slowly, the tide is turning.

A few months ago these words were verboten.

[BootinUp]

5. This will go on for years.

Very sad actually.

[bluestateguy]

9. Iraqw has been "on the verge" of a civil war for 3 years now

How long can a country be "on the verge" of anything? When will the corporate media stop prefacing it with this "on the verge" crap and just come out and say it? it's almost like they are trying to give Baby Bush an out, to suggest that there might not be a civil war and everything will turn out just fine.

[rodeodance]

10. um... guess they chose chaos (an eye for an eye).

[rniel]

11. So this is what I spent my tax dollars on

Yippie!!!

Was it worth it. I can hardly put food on my family.

[acmejack]

13. You need a third job!

That is what made America great, the pResident said so, I heard him. He knows what hard work it is, some one must have told him.

[MelissaB]

18. Kick because Bushy boy can't stop the truth from coming out.

:kick:

[helderheid]

19. best screen capture before it goes down the rabbit hole

[Justice Is Comin]

21. Didn't we send out

sorties to drop the pamphlets to inform them they were not in civil war ? We told them, what's the matter with them?

Can't they follow instructions ?

[ignatius 2]

22. Goddammit,this fucked up war brought to us by a warmongering,psychotic

mental midget and so many people,including our troops, in harms way.

Bush,Cheney,Powell,Rumsfeld.Perle,Wolfowitz,Condi and the rest of the vile neocons..the blood is pouring from your hands,wash them all you like but it will not cleanse them..you are mass murderers and I hope and pray you are tried for war crimes against humanity very soon.

[CoffeeCat]

23. Now, correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't this...

...the same insurgency that's in it's "last throes."?

I thought we were turning a corner.

Or has that been canceled due to the corner being blown up?

[Poll_Blind]

24. UPI updates: 1,300 (thirteen-hundred) dead in week's violence!

See this UPI article! Kudos to NNN0LHI for this thread!

Numbers have been grossly underreported!

PB

[Dunvegan]

25. Those are the bodies they've found during curfew and while...

...ducking bullets.

I'm sure it's a higher figure than 1,300.

And, what about non-fatal casualties? Or, soon-to-be-fatal casualties?

We're about to turn the corner...directly into the treads of Soviet-era tanks.
