21 Iraqi troops die in blast

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide bomber killed 21 Iraqi troops Tuesday and wounded 27 at an army recruiting station in Baghdad, the U.S. military said, scattering body parts across the pavement and shaking the post-election confidence of the nation's capital.

The explosion brought Iraqi deaths from insurgent attacks in a 48-hour period to about 50, and rattled the sense of well-being that came after national elections Jan. 30. Many Iraqis had hoped that the enthusiastic election turnout would blunt the insurgency.

But with violence having picked up again, U.S. and Iraqi officials are trying to puzzle out whether the voting had any significant effect.

Insurgent attacks on the American military hit a one-day record of 260 on election day. A U.S. military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said this week that attacks had fallen in the days after the election, although specific figures haven't been released.

1. Notice how they NOW mention 260 attacks on election day, but during

the election, it was only 5 attacks.

Go figure.

2. Could the propaganda get any thicker?

Now it's "attacks have fallen in the days after the election." But that's only AFTER they changed the story on how many attacks happened on election day.

Besides, keep in mind here that most Americans could care less about Iraqis being killed and the fact that the US is the cause of it.

3. Freedom rings.

4. It's so puzzling, isn't it

Q: With democracy on the march how could they still want to kill us?
Yeah, so we've been killing their sons and daughters for two years now, but we gave them an election, ferchrissake!
