Why some in Iraq still put up with this is beyond me.

American forces obviously didn't do it, but it's still our fault. We're just evil through and through.

Just wait until Murtha, the NY Times, CNN, MSNBC, etc. get hold of this story there will be an outcry and outrage like we've never seen before.

What's that you say the terroists did this, oh never mind after all they're just today's minutemen fighting a just cause and using the only means available to them. Move along nothing to see here.

It's just like a real religion...

This is going to go a long way toward endearing the terrorist in the hearts of the Iraqis.

Ignorance is not bliss. We are not dealing with mental giants over there. A mind set still controlled by tribes and warped religious thinkers (? we used that word loosely) that hasn't changed in 1400 years. Had the Bathists remained in power with a civilized leader things might have been different. We stirred up the pot and its going to take awhile for it to settle down. Those 2 car bombs found by the mosque should be place in the mosque and set off if they found to be related to the mosque's activity. All those jihadist who wish to to be martyrs should have the opportunity after they are captured. You don't cage mad or vicious dogs you put them to sleep. They are killing civilians, they are not soldiers, they are murderers, serial killers and demented religious madmen. They are garbage and should be treated as such, you don't save garbage you dispose of it.

Probably, "It's Bush's fault."

For all the liberals who claim that "Bush lied" about Iraq, I have only heard the man tell one lie. That Islam is a great and noble religion of peace.

The perps should be found immediately. Does every schoolbus need an armed escort?

When these monkeys have had enough killing, the citizens of Iraq will take action to protect themselves.

Until then.....who cares?

Yet another massacre destined to be forgotten
Topics: Uncategorized
After the massacre in Basra yesterday, Baghdad witnessed it's own massacre for today.

Gunmen dragged passengers off a buses northeast of Baghdad and killed 21 people, including a dozen high school students. The attackers spared four Sunni Arabs in one the worst sectarian atrocities in recent weeks.

Who wants to pay attention to these massacres when you have Haditha?!

The Bathists civilized? I don't think so. A bit more willing to accept modernity, but just as vicious and brutal as the others.

There's a good chance that these killing were done by the Bathists, since we didn't kill or jail most of them. They killed way more that this under Saddam, and in Syria under their branch of the Bathists.
