175 killed in Iraq car bombings
04:31 PM CDT on Tuesday, August 14, 2007
Associated Press
BAGHDAD - Four suicide bombers hit Kurdish Yazidi communities in northwest Iraq with nearly simultaneous attacks on Tuesday, killing at least 175 people and wounding 200 others, the Iraqi military said.
The death toll was the highest in a concerted attack since Nov. 23, when 215 people were killed by mortar fire and five car bombs in Baghdad's Shiite enclave of Sadr City.
The bombs tore through the districts near Qahataniya, 75 miles west of Mosul, Iraq's third-largest city, said Abdul-Rahman al-Shimiri, the top government official in the area, and Iraq army Capt. Mohammed Ahmed.
Yazidis are members of an ancient, primarily Kurdish, religious sect that worships an angel figure some that Christians and Muslims believe to be the devil.
Al-Shimiri and Ahmed said at least 30 homes were destroyed in the bombings.
Dhakil Qassim, mayor of Sinjar, a town near where the attacks occurred, said al-Qaida in Iraq was behind the bombings, citing what he said were Kurdish government intelligence reports.
"This is a terrorist act and the people targeted are poor Yazidis who have nothing to do with the armed conflict," Qassim said. "Al-Qaida fighters are very active in this area near the Syrian border."
U.S. helicopters swooped into the area to evacuate the wound to hospitals in Dahuk, a Kurdish city near the Turkish border about 60 miles north of Qahataniya.
Civilians cars and ambulances also rushed the wounded to hospitals in Dahuk, police said.

yeap...power to the people...Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,

You have a very narrow-minded view of things. Not too many Conservatives would favor people bombing other people....especially when the people doing the bombing aren't "us".The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.0 -
I love how the American general states that the surge is working, and then seconds later CNN has this female reporter saying that, according to virtually every source she has spoken to, Iraq is "getting worse by the day". This wasn't news to me, but I'm sure it was to some.
Fuck Centcom. Fuck Bush. And for the most part, fuck the American media who rarely gives the true story.0 -
Journalists have this thing now where if you ask hard questions, you will be denied access to future press briefings. Kiss the good salary goodbye. All the front row students get a special pat on the head.
So there's a huge filter right there. On top of that the news is scripted and approved, word for word, and you risk your job as a reporter by stepping out of line.
Journalism has become some kind of sick, perverted ,incestuous relationship with govt officials.Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

I'd like to see Bush have to sit down with Michael Ware from CNN, the Iraqi reporter who just gives it out straight. He's got an Aussi accent. I laugh hwen he gets on CNN and essentially says things like, " well Wolf, Iraq is pretty much fucked", or, "well, that flies in the face of everything I've heard about Iraq the last month". Shit like that.
Ya, Bush should have to sit down with some like him for a public interview. Dare to dream.....0 -

Have you seen this? It's been banned from American TV.
He keeps cutting her off and reciting rehearsed scripts in circles, but she at least get a few ones in and gets his feathers ruffled.
My favorite line: "people join terrorist organizations becuase there is no hope....no freedom.." Oh yeah...really? you don't say....
lol... It's like he's talking against exactly what he himself is doing.

i had a visit from god last night. she said if we leave iraq then there will be fewer suicide bombings. if that's not enough, she also said america and its citizens will be safer.0 -
