BAGHDAD - At least 38 people were killed Thursday as bombers targeted an Iraqi municipal headquarters and a provincial governor's office.

Col. Fawzi Fraih, civil defense director of Anbar province, said a suicide bomber detonated an explosive belt during a meeting of tribal sheiks in Karmah, about 20 miles west of Baghdad.

Officials said the sheiks were members of a group opposed to al-Qaida in Iraq and were meeting with Americans when the attack occurred. At least 20 people were killed and 12 others wounded.


Meanwhile, a car bomb killed 18 people and wounded 62 in the northern city of Mosul, a provincial governor told Reuters.

Regular listeners to Rachel Maddow's show understand how this has happened.

The "Iraqi" government is Vichy and we are the occupiers. Iraqis of all persuasions now agree.

They are united at last.

they keep implying there is some sort of Al-Q in Iraq when the reality is the Iraqi Nationalists want the foreign occupiers OUT! I think it is pretty obvious now. It is too bad most democrats do not acknowledge that and keep funding this atrocity.

Who didn't see this coming? Besides the chimp, I mean.

to the American Revolution, failing to understand that, this time, WE are the British. The Iraqi government are Tories.
