150 killed in Iraq attacks, Zarqawi declares war on Shiites

Scores killed in Baghdad blasts

More than 150 people have been killed in a wave of attacks targeting Shia Muslims in and around Baghdad today, with around 10 explosions rocking the city.

The deadliest attack killed more than 100 people when a minibus was blown up by a suicide bomber in a crowd of labourers in the mostly Shia-populated district of Kadhimiya.

Dozens of others, including Iraqi soldiers and police, were killed in a series of suicide bombings and shootings across the Iraqi capital. Hundreds of people have been injured.

The Sunni militant group al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility for the violence on a militant website.

Last throws eh Rumsfeld? Seems like the last throws have lasted a long time!

I can only conclude that the wingnuts live in a bubble world since they deny the reality of the Iraq situation.

Beyond the cushy Green Zone is a nation (and an artifical one at that) in turmoil. The violence is even spreading to the British controlled south.

Stupid people are running this 'war' and are facilitating misery and death for Iraqis and fueling the insurgency by their very presence.
