Sectarian Violence Up In Baghdad

   HERE is the latest on the sectarian violence in Baghdad, which has gone back up once again.

  A month before Bush's troop surge went into affect, there were 321 bodies found littered throughout the Iraqi capitol. In this month of May, up until this past Tuesday, there were 321 unidentified bodies found with alot of them showing signs of having been tortured and executed.

   These stats come from an Iraqi Health Ministry official who is anonymous since he isn't supposed to release this information to the public, or anyone else for that matter.

Lt. Gen. Aboud Qanbar, the Iraqi commander overseeing the security plan, acknowledged in an interview that the number of unidentified corpses is rising and said there has been a spike in sectarian assaults by Shiite militias, especially elements of the Mahdi Army, the militia of Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

In the 14 weeks preceding the start of the plan on Feb. 14, at least 821 people died in 11 attacks -- typically suicide car bombings -- that killed more than 20 people at a time, according to a Washington Post analysis. There have been at least 20 such attacks in the 14 weeks since the start of the plan, causing a death toll of at least 1,098, the analysis showed.     Washington Post

  Bush and his boys keep saying that the violence is down in hopes of the U.S. citizens supporting his ill-advised surge and to keep the money coming from Congress.

   The Democrats in Congress are going to give Bush his money without a withdrawal timeline for this crap? I think that the Democrats just bought Bush's war from him.
