Massive bomb blast in Bagdhad
accordign to BBC. This follows two other blasts there which killed about 40 more Iraqis. Will Georgie show any compassion for these people?

Surging to Allah!!

BAGHDAD - Four big bombs exploded across Baghdad on Wednesday, killing at least 66 people and wounding nearly 150 as violence climbed toward levels seen before the U.S.-Iraqi campaign to pacify the capital began two months ago.
