CNN: A Violent Day In Iraq

Video footage shown of gun battkes, doesn't look like things will be improving anytime soon.

Surprised Wolf is leading off with this. Bill Hemmer is in Iraq and says "that Baghdad is still chaotic, yet shops are open, etc....There's a long way to go."

1. Hmmmm

And I thought things were supposed to get BETTER with Saddam gone. At least, that's what Bush is saying...

3. Pro-Saddam rallies are turning violent.

Doesn't look like flowers and open arms to me.

7. There is a video on CNN that says pro-Saddam riots.

Since I'm on dial-up I couldn't get it to work for me, but maybe someone can post the link for those who are interested.

5. Any US troop deaths?

I definitely don't want that. But this is going to continue for a while. Alot of the people hated Saddam because he was secular...you know alot of the Shiites did, but Iran is Shia and they hate the US. So you know that the Shiites in Iraq had to eventually turn on the US.

So Rummy, how does it feel to be used for a purpose and then, once that purpose is complete, have your "ally" attack you? Maybe you could get a few pointers from Saddam!
