84 bodies  found in Baghdad in past two days

Iraqi police Monday said they have recovered 84 bodies in the past two days, all shot to death and scattered across Baghdad. Some were blindfolded with bound hands, and showed signs of torture. They are believed to be victims of the Sunni-Shiite sectarian warfare that has shaken the capital over the past year.   More From CNN

     Yet Mr.Bush will swear up and down that this is not a civil war going on in Iraq! I think that there is one going on in his head and he is losing it!

 

Democrats Who Opposed the War

   Many of the Dems who opposed the war will be moving into some pretty powerful positions in January. We can only hope that they are able to slap some common sense into Mr. Bush and his un-realistic views that all is well in Iraq.

   The Washington Post has an article about those Democrats who voted against this war and it makes for some good reading!

Rep. John M. Spratt Jr. (S.C.)- "I remember we talked this time about how we got to get answers before this train leaves the station."

 Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.)-Skelton had written Bush a month earlier, after a White House meeting, to say that "I have no doubt that our military would decisively defeat Iraq's forces and remove Saddam. But like the proverbial dog chasing the car down the road, we must consider what we would do after we caught it."

Rep. David R. Obey (Wis.), who will chair the Appropriations Committee, was among the group that organized the Democrats. He spoke then about poor preparation for postwar Iraq, a concern he developed after listening to State Department officials.
