Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois wrote that Maliki's failure to condemn Hezbollah raises ``serious questions about whether Iraq under your leadership can play a constructive role in resolving the current crisis and bringing stability...

Little Dick may need to divert his attention to the states...

[paul51]

Sounds like some kind of civil war going on there. A real quagmire.

[Libloather]

I'm wondering - which is more brutal - downtown Baghdad - or downtown Chicago?

Little Dick should know...

"A 3-year-old boy, his throat slit, dies along with his brother, mother and aunt while his father is serving in Iraq. "


I pray to God that this isn't a case where a soldier's name was posted by the media, and his family was killed by a terrorist in the states.


How many times have we seen the news media do a report on an expert sniper, and post his name, home town, and picture?

A 3-year-old boy, his throat slit, dies along with his brother, mother and aunt while his father is serving in Iraq.

Now that is sad.

Not to take away from the other tragic death's....

Just.....damn.

IIRC, they were killed by a neighbor who is known to have a history of substance abuse.

That was exactly my first thought.

Redeploy Now!!!!

What about the children?!?!

How many lives must we loose over this unjust, immoral, bloody, war in Washington?!?!

Bush's fault...

Possible.

Remote chance.

Let's let the authorities do an ivestigation, ok?

Before you put that heavy duty tin foil hat on again.

I must comment upon the death of Tom Wales:

I was living in the area at the time, and well recall Tom Wales strident hatred of firearms freedoms for the great unwashed. But aside from that, Wales certainly earned his place in the Darwin Awards. Remember that Wales was a federal prosecutor. Ok, so here's a man who's put away some VERY BAD guys. So how "street smart" is... er was, Tom Wales? Mr Wales was reportedly at home, in his unfenced house, without outside lighting, sitting in his basement after dark, with the light on, working at his computer, with his back to the window, with the curtains open.

I'll just leave it at that.

But Seattle's murder rate is low for a city of nearly 600,000.

I really thought Seattle had more people than that..

If I had to choose either, I rather be in downtown Bagdad.

The rest only show up during election years.

How many must we "Loose"???

[Lexinom]

Gooooood quesion!

[Ramius]

At least it's not Tacoma.

[the final gentleman]

Great.

I'm to spend a couple of weeks in Seattle in August.
But I'm afraid if I pack a nice gun the girly men and girly girls who call the shots for the lumberjacks and rough fisherman who originally founded the city of Seattle, will arrest poor me for being pro-gun and anti-gay.

What's a mother to do?

[goodnesswins]

Hmmmmm.....I always wondered how he was shot in his own home from the outside.....I'm well aware of windows and lighting when I'm in a house at night, but there are some people who think it's cool to NOT have window coverings.....NOT ME!
