24 killed in blast outside bank in Kirkuk

The insurgency in Iraq is "in the last throes," Vice President Dick Cheney says. (5/31/05)

====

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A bomb exploded outside a bank in the northern city of Kirkuk on Tuesday, killing 19 people, including pensioners waiting for checks and child street vendors. The bodies of 24 men killed in ambushes were brought to a Baghdad hospital.

A suicide car bomber also rammed his vehicle into an Iraqi army checkpoint, killing five soldiers and wounding two others in Kan'an, about 30 miles north of Baghdad, Iraqi Army Col. Ismael Ibrahim said. Two civilians were also wounded.

We're gonna stick with this until we turn Bush out, or bring him to his knees where he can't do any more harm.

5. The light at the end of the tunnel?

Yeah, right.

Nasty question: what do we do when this mess spills over into the Saudi oil fields? Or is that not going to happen?
