BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Bursts of heavy machine-gun fire were heard coming from southern Baghdad on Tuesday, and witnesses said Iraqi National Guard units were battling insurgents there.

Sustained bursts of fire, punctuated by small explosions, persisted for about 30 minutes. Two U.S. military Apache attack helicopters hovered over the area near the bend in the Tigris River flowing through the center of the capital.

1. Just another day in paridise

where democracy is on the march. If only we can kill enough of these rebel scum then we can start bringing our Imperial Star Troopers home from Tatooween.

Don't make us bring out the Death Star.

good god, what have we become?

Telegraph version today-
Also yesterday, the US military said three soldiers
assigned

western
Iraq, but gave no further
details.

IRR version today-
An Iraqi Resistance car bomb exploded by the al-Jazirah
wooden bridge in the village of al-Jazirah near ar-Ramadi
at 3:25pm Monday afternoon. The correspondent of
Mafkarat al-Islam reported local witnesses as saying that
the booby-trapped Volvo car was parked by the side of the
road at the bottom of the bridge. A US column approached on
its way to do its usual round of patrols but spotted the car.
Seven American troops left the column and approached the
car, fearful that it might be booby
trapped.

When the US soldiers got close, the car exploded. The
local police told Mafkarat al-Islam that the Americans had
not been able to find all the remains of their dead
soldiers because many were blown to pieces by the force of
the blast and charred bits of bodies and small pieces of
limbs were scattered all over the place. Local
witnesses confirmed that fact. The correspondent said he
was unable to remain long on the scene because of
the pervasive smell of the dead bodies that resembled that
of roasted meat.

6. the dark days of our empire-A great SciFi title for a trilogy

I feel like I've been in one since 121200.

Coup
The treason by the opposition
stripping of civilrights
Media reporting on a parallel universe
Systemic huntdown of whistleblowers
two shot to the head suicides
I couldn't role cast a better evil
character than Chertoff.

And thru it all the light of Freedom, Equality,
Liberty shines.
