3 Sunni mosques attacked in Iraq
another indication that the bushco* 'surge' isn't working

BAGHDAD - At least three Sunni mosques were attacked south of the capital Thursday, police said, in apparent retaliation for the destruction of two minarets at the Shiite Askariya shrine in Samarra a day earlier.

Wednesday's attack, which was blamed on Sunni extremists with links to al-Qaida, stoked fears of a surge in violence between Muslim sects. A bombing at the same mosque complex in February 2006 that destroyed the shrine's prized golden dome unleashed a bloodbath of reprisals.

Police said four Sunni mosques near Baghdad were attacked or burned within several hours of the Samarra explosions Wednesday.

One of those Sunni mosques, which was only partially destroyed, came under attack again Thursday, police said. Around 4 a.m., insurgents broke into the Hateen mosque in Iskandariyah, 30 miles south of Baghdad, and planted bombs inside.

2. Actually, this stinks of Loyal Bushie Work, blowing up the Sunni mosque
Why? They are in the process of turning to support the Sunni insurgents against al-Qaeda, therefore these conveniently timed explosions help rathchet up anger among Sunni insurgents, making them more receptive to Loyal Bushie overtures.

I imagine the Loyal Bushie Right-Wing Death Squads are behind this and there aren;t three degress of seperation between the CIA handlers who inititaed or encluraged these actions and the terrorists who carried them out.

3. The bush** admin isn't supporting any side but its own. As long as they
killing and dying keep happening, that's just less obstruction to their plans that they have to face. Pretty soon, every male over ten years old will be dead. Which sounds like a Negroponte plan to me.

6. Wouldn't be the first time a black-op stirred up profits for the masters
Can't let the rage subside in the masses, lest they get together and notice who the real enemy is.
