"Bomber kills 3 outside Iraq mosque" April 02, 2011|Associated Press
BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber disguised as a street cleaner walked up to soldiers outside a mosque and blew himself up yesterday, killing two of the troops and a worshiper in a western Iraqi city that was once an Al Qaeda hotbed....
Fallujah, 40 miles west of Baghdad in the Sunni-dominated Anbar Province, was once a capital for Iraq’s insurgency and the site of two deadly battles in 2004 with American forces. Those fights were triggered by the horrific deaths of four US contractors who were killed and mutilated in Fallujah, and their charred bodies dragged through the streets before two of them were hung from a bridge.
At the time we were told they were cooks. Fully armed with body armor and all, but cooks.
Later we found out they were a hit squad from some war-profiteering "defense" firm.
Oh, yeah, they got Willie Pete in response.
Extremist attacks have dropped dramatically from just a few years ago, when scores of daily killings between Iraqis’ Sunni insurgents and Sh’ite militias brought the country to the brink of civil war.
I'm sorry, folks, but I am no longer buying the great Zionist scam of sectarianism when they have lived together and intermarried for centuries.
Also yesterday, an estimated 65 people were wounded in a demonstration in the northern city of Sulaimaniyah when protesters began hurling stones at security forces. Protesters demanded better government services, an end to corruption, and more jobs.
Gee, they are everywhere over there, aren't they?

Of course, Iraq is lining up with Iran so those protests have undoubtedly been called in by AmeriKa and her Arabian allies.

SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq — Protests in the region have occurred almost daily since then and have drawn thousands, making them among the largest held across Iraq over the recent weeks of political upheaval sweeping much of the Arab world. And in a surprising turn for this usually sleepy region, they have been violent; seven more people have been killed since the Feb. 17 protests.

"Eight slain in Iraq mosque bombing" April 29, 2011|Associated Press
BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber disguised as a worshipper blew himself up inside a Shi’ite mosque north of Baghdad yesterday and killed eight people, a police spokesman said, shattering a period of relative calm across the country....
Oh, that's another thing. Those mosques stood for CENTURIES -- until WE GOT THERE!
I SMELL "Al-CIA-Duh."
Police spokesman Major Ghalib al-Karkhi said the suicide bomber had dressed up in a longblack cloak called an abaya and a black turban to mingle with worshippers inside the Imam al-Hussein mosque.

Yeah, better get outta here.
