Over 120 shot dead in Iraq sectarian bloodshed (AFP)
Gunmen have killed at least 127 people in Iraq in sectarian violence that flared after the bombing of a revered Shiite shrine and reprisal attacks on Sunni mosques.

<snip>

Eighty bullet-ridden corpses were brought to the Baghdad morgue between Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning, the deputy director of the morgue, Doctor Kais Mohammed, told AFP.


Another 47 bodies of men shot to death were discovered along with 10 burned out cars alongside a road near Nahrawan, southeast of Baghdad, police said.

<snip>
Early Thursday the police also reported finding the bodies of three Iraqi journalists working for Dubai-based Arabiya satellite television who were kidnapped near Samarra Wednesday evening while reporting on the shrine bombing.

2. Don't forget: Bush caused this.
Bush created the conditions for this to happen when he invaded Iraq and toppled Saddam without any way of establishing order.

And it was widely predicted before the invasion that this would happen, Bush ignored the warnings.

5. so there's civil war there,so that must mean the U.S. has pulled out,since
Edited on Thu Feb-23-06 12:25 PM by Algorem
they're always saying if the U.S. pulls out there'll be civil war there.The U.S.pullout wasn't even reported,that's odd.I guess they'll need an Abdullah Lincoln over there now.

11. this is "our" guys--with -a MIHOP here-a MIHOP there -everywhere a MIHOP
read into that statement however you will--

The Brits just got caught planting Bombs sressed as Arabs
and the British Secret Service busted them out of jail before
they could "talk".

This staged and well armed "civil war" is a neat excuse to STAY there!!
This malAdministration will stop at nothing to get what they want--

Remember 911 ?
Marvin Bush little brother of our tyrant was
in Charge of Security for the World Trade Center
just prior to the "attack" on 911.


MIHOP

made it happen on purpose
