So with all these people being able to walk the streets (McCain) and buy cheap rugs (Graham) things continue to go swimmingly in the American made hellhole that is Iraq! Smell the freedom!

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide bomber blew himself up in the Iraqi parliament cafeteria Thursday, killing at least eight people � including three lawmakers � and wounding dozens in a stunning assault in the heart of the heavily fortified, U.S.-protected Green Zone.

A news video camera captured the moment of the blast: a flash and an orange ball of fire causing a startled parliament member who was being interviewed to duck, and then the smoky, dust-filled aftermath of confusion and shouting. The video was shot by Alhurra, a U.S. government-funded Arab-language channel.


Or this good news:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide truck bomb exploded on a major bridge in Baghdad early Thursday, collapsing the steel structure and sending cars toppling into the Tigris River below, police and witnesses said. At least 10 people were killed.

Hospital officials said another 26 were injured, and police were trying to rescue as many as 20 people whose cars plummeted off the al-Sarafiya bridge.


Let the good times roll.
