Hey McCain: yeah, Benghazi was a drag. Didja notice 20 people died in your "liberated" Iraq today?

Of course they weren't ambassadors, just nameless brown people. But still.



"BAGHDAD — From a busy market to a university campus, a series of bomb attacks swept through Iraq on Wednesday, killing at least 20 people and wounding more than 100, the Iraqi police and security forces said.

The attacks struck civilian, government and security targets. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for any of the blasts, which were spread out in more than half a dozen provinces in Iraq. At least one of the devices in a southern region was dismantled before it blew up.

The extent to which any of the attacks were coordinated was not clear, but they were some of the most widespread in recent weeks, striking a variety of targets that brought to the forefront Iraq’s political and ethnic diversity. The last similar daily toll was on Nov. 6, when a bomb killed more than two dozen people at a military base in Taji."

Iraq is where McCain and his little pal Lindsey Graham LOVED to shop the bazaar (5 rugs for $5!), back when a company of infantry could sweep the area ahead of them. But I don't think they will be shopping the Baghdad Bazaar anytime soon.
