    This doesn't bode well.

      I'm not buying the story that's being released. Something else is going on here.

      It is incredibly sad that such violence is going on there and all the US teaches is how to spread munitions and not peace and love. If we spent 2 billion on teaching peace and love, this would never be an issue. For a great book on peace and love that can be found at amazon dot com, LuLu dot com or ebay, search at these sites for "Korana of Mother Goddess." We need to pray for them all.

          "I say bomb the SHIITE out of all of them.. let Allah sort them out..."

          Isn't that the same strategy that Osama bin Laden is trying to use on the West?

        I heard the weather in Baghdad is going up to 120F this week. I really feel sorry for all the American Troops that are in that living hell there. I would think this will only make it hotter for everyone. Support our troops: Get them the hell out of that place now!! Impeach Bush!!!

          120 degrees is hot, I have seen it in Phoenix, pero with AC.

          Wouldn't be even worse if some mouth-breathing imperialist white-skinned bunch of dull normal mental-defectives had bombed out your infrastructure in the name of a democracy they enforced on you at gunpoint and as a result you had no freakin' air conditioning?

            I think the Bush boys are a little to blame for what is happening in Iraq. After all we did INVADE there country.
