NEVER FORGET: John McCain's disastrous visit to Iraq that got many innocent Iraqis killed

A NEWBORN baby was one of at least 14 children and adults killed today when a suicide bomber detonated a truck laden with explosives close to a primary school in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk.

The latest massacre of Iraqi children came as 21 Shia market workers were ambushed, bound and shot dead north of the capital.

The victims came from the Baghdad market visited the previous day by John McCain, the US presidential candidate, who said that an American security plan in the capital was starting to show signs of progress.

1. Contrarians will say "Corelation is not Causation".

How is anyone going to support the contention that these folks were killed because the "... came from the Baghdad market visited the previous day by John McCain ..."? Others were killed too, right?

I'm not saying it didn't happen; just playing the Devil's Advocate here.

What we need is some idea of the probabilities for Iraqis being blown up, so we can compare them.
