Bomber at Checkpoint in Iraq Kills 12

BAGHDAD -- A suicide bomber attacked a checkpoint manned by a group fighting against al-Qaida in Iraq, killing 12 people in one of a series of strikes Monday against the largely Sunni movement singled out by Osama bin Laden as a "disgrace and shame."

At Least 16 Dead in Attacks in Iraq
BAGHDAD — Bomb attacks on Monday killed at least 16 people, including two Iraqi soldiers, in one of the most violent days in recent weeks even as Iraqi security forces stepped up their operations against insurgents across the country.

1. I'm sure nothing at all has changed in Iraq.

The cable media just doesn't report any violence.

3. The bogus tape is announced then this

happens. What's tragic comedy is that even the Americans have admitted that Al Qaida has very little support in Iraq. I'm sick of this fugging mess.

6. Osama popped up over the weekend

just after the David Frost interview with Bhutto where she said Osama was dead. I no longer know whether to laugh or cry.
