BAGHDAD, Iraq - Unknown gunmen assassinated a deputy mayor of Baghdad in an apparent hit-run shooting, the U.S. occupation authority reported Tuesday.

Faris Abdul Razzaq al-Assam, deputy mayor for technical services, had returned from last week's international Iraq (news - web sites) donors' conference in Madrid, Spain, when he was shot Sunday, the Coalition Provisional Authority said.

3. I read a quote earlier today....

...if bombings and attacks are a sign of progress, would a nuclear bomb dropped on our troops allow us to declare victory???

4. tonight on CBS-NBC-ABC "Bush says this is proof we are winning"

5. According to the Moron In Chief this is Good News!

The more violence and mayhem, the better, because it means the terra-ishts are desperate!!

Soon, the construction will be over and our troops will be home!

Let's celebrate the death and destruction!!! Its a tiding of good things to come!!

6. I read a statement yesterday which said the key to security

in Iraq is to stop making enemies faster than we can shoot them.

That is the irony, our armed soldiers in tanks and humvees do not know how to make the peace and only exacerbate the violence.

And not only has the U.N. pulled back from Iraq, the Red Cross is pulling back and Doctors without Borders is considering leaving.

What a screwed up mess. This administration knows only how to destroy.

This is incredibly sad.
