Four Children Killed in Baghdad Explosion
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A36431-2005Apr8.html

~snip~

BAGHDAD -- Four children collecting trash were killed Friday by a homemade bomb in Baghdad, and masked gunmen killed an Iraqi Army officer in a restaurant in the southern city of Basra, police said.

The children died in the New Baghdad neighborhood in the southeast section of the city, police Capt. Sabah Hamid Al-Fartosi said. Insurgents frequently use hidden roadside bombs against U.S. and Iraqi Army convoys.


In the attack in Basra, three masked gunmen killed an Iraqi Army officer -- Maj. Mahmoud Hassan Yassiri -- late Thursday, Capt. Firas Timimi of the Iraqi Army said.

A U.S. Marine was killed Wednesday in a vehicle accident during combat operations in Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad, the military said Friday in a statement.

... it just keeps getting better! :(

5. That'd look great with a GBU-24 right through the skylight.
I mean, it's only fair, considering we've destroyed houses in Iraq with them.

Too bad the Propagandist doesn't want to spread the Culture of Life into Iraq.

4. Four kids who'd still be here if the junta hadn't taken over the US.
