Militants Kill 7 Abducted Iraqi National Guards - Web (from Fri. ambush)
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20050205/ts_nm/iraq_dc&cid=564&ncid=1480


The video showed the seven hostages being interrogated by an off-camera militant as they sat on the floor with their hands bound behind their backs. The men were later shown being shot as they kneeled outdoors with their eyes bound.


The group said in a statement that the seven had been captured in major ambush on a 50-strong Iraqi police convoy in the Abu Ghraib area near Baghdad on Thursday. The attack killed two policemen, wounded 14 and left at least 16 missing.


"You should not cooperate with the new Iraqi government," one of the men said on the video, dated Feb. 4 and posted on the group's Web site.


The Army of Ansar al-Sunna is one of the main Sunni Muslim groups waging attacks to cripple the American-backed government and drive out U.S.-led forces.

1. 12,500 US Military Casualties, Hundreds Of Billions Of Dollars...
...all so the Iraqi people could elect a pro-Iran fundamentalist Shi'ite theocracy?

So why isn't the Iraqi vote being reported for what it was, an uprising against United States involvement there and those compliant politicians supported by the Bush administration?

Goodbye Iraq, hello Greater Iran.
