At Least 40 Killed in Two Iraqi Cities

Posted on Jun 26, 2006

The two suicide bombings came mere hours after seven Arab Sunni groups offered the Iraqi government a conditional truce.

AP:

Bombs killed at least 40 people at markets in two Iraqi cities Monday, hours after key lawmakers said seven Sunni Arab insurgent groups offered the government a conditional truce.

Despite the fresh opening between the government and the militant organizations which do not include al-Qaida or Islamic terror groups a top Iraqi commander said Baghdad’s forces would not be ready to keep the peace for at least a year in Anbar province, the insurgent heartland.

And President Bush brushed aside expectations of a significant U.S. troop drawdown starting in September. He said decisions on troop strength would be made by the new Iraqi government and based upon recommendations from Gen. George W. Casey, the U.S. commander in
Iraq.

C’mon everybody, chant in unison:

STAY - THE - COURSE!

There, now don’t we all feel better? ... well, I mean those of us who aren’t acutally out there fighting or living in the war zone, or that type of thing ... or already dead or wounded, or that type of thing ... or have lost loved ones, or that type of thing.

I mean the REST of us ... and we’re the most of us, right?
