Sure and my name is George Washington.
THE KILLING NEVER FUCKING STOPPED!
Democracy? You've got to be joking!
BAGHDAD (AP) — Attackers killed six Iraqi security officials including an army general on Wednesday, officials said, the latest wave of insurgent attacks aimed at undermining the central government.
The deadliest attack of the day came in the city of Kirkuk, where three policemen were killed and six wounded. City police commander Sarhad Qadir said their convoy hit a roadside bomb.
Kirkuk is 290 kilometers (180 miles) north of Baghdad.
The general died in a drive-by shooting in Baghdad. Police said Brig. Gen. Nadhum Tayeh was driving to work in the morning when a carload of gunmen opened fire, killing him....
The Iraq Civil War rages on!!!!!!!!! Who do you think attacked the general in Baghdad? It wasn't al Qaeda. I guarantee that.

BAGHDAD: Iraq's Kurdistan regional government (click here) threatened to stop its share of national oil exports again at the start of September, claiming Baghdad has continued to hold off on payments to oil companies, as the two sides continue a long-running dispute.
"We are moving ahead to stop oil exports at the start of September, because until this moment we didn't receive any sign Baghdad will approve payments for oil companies working in the region," a senior Kurdistan government official said on Tuesday.
Iraq's uneasy federal union is being tested as the central government has a long-standing disagreement with autonomous Kurdistan in the north over control of oil and territory along their internal border.
Baghdad maintains it alone has the right to export Iraqi crude. But Kurdistan has moved ahead with signing exploration deals with oil majors such as Exxon and Chevron, which the central government rejects as illegal.
In April Kurdistan halted exports, saying Baghdad had not made payments to companies working there, but it restarted shipments on Aug. 7 with a warning they could be halted again in a month if there were no payments....
The ONLY place in Iraq where a reasonable quality of life exists is the neighbor to Saudi Arabia where the Sunnis have their autonomous existence. Saudi Arabia assisted the Sunnis of Anbar to find water and their own economy.
Iraq is still fighting the war that started with the USA and its Coalition of the Wiling invaded Iraq. The civil war still raging which the USA did nothing but postpone while costing over 5000 deaths and ten times that in injured and maimed American soldiers and still others hell bend on suicide.
How Condi Rice can put honor to the actions of revenge and greed in killing fields that were valued for their oil is beyond any imagination of integrity. The Republicans not only believe their own lies, but, they intend for the rest of the world to believe it to.

U.S. forces found ample supplies of conventional weapons such as these, but no weapons of mass destruction.
In his final word, the CIA’s top weapons inspector in Iraq said Monday that the hunt for weapons of mass destruction has “gone as far as feasible” and has found nothing, closing an investigation into the purported programs of Saddam Hussein that were used to justify the 2003 invasion.
“After more than 18 months, the WMD investigation and debriefing of the WMD-related detainees has been exhausted,” wrote Charles Duelfer, head of the Iraq Survey Group, in an addendum to the final report issued last fall.
“As matters now stand, the WMD investigation has gone as far as feasible.”
In 92 pages posted online Monday evening, Duelfer provides a final look at an investigation that occupied over 1,000 military and civilian translators, weapons specialists and other experts at its peak. His latest addenda conclude a roughly 1,500-page report released last fall.
On Monday, Duelfer said there is no purpose in keeping many of the detainees who are in custody because of their knowledge on Iraq’s weapons, although he did not provide any details about the current number. A U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the ultimate decision on their release will be made by the Iraqi authorities.
The tortured detainees in Iraq and those in Gitmo never should have been there!
The Arab Spring happened to PREVENT this happening to all of them at the hand of the USA should Neocons find themselves in power again!!!
Iraq IS the reason why Russia and China stand between those nations and another illegal ludicrous invasion by the USA!
We never did!
