Oh..by the way....17 killed in car bomb and an attempt on the life
of Musharraf....but everythings going to be fine now that we got Saddam...

Consider what could happen if the elements within the Pakastani power structure....the very same people who created the Taliban...were to over throw Musharraf and gain control of Pakisatn....

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....they dont have any weapons that could be a problem do they?!

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on Sunday when a bomb exploded just seconds after his motorcade had passed by.

"It was certainly a terrorist act and, certainly, it was me who was targeted," the military leader told reporters shortly after the attack.

Musharraf said the blast hit a bridge "just half a minute or one minute" after his motorcade passed it.

And outside an Iraqi police station:

KHALDIYAH, Iraq - A suspected suicide attacker detonated a car bomb outside an Iraqi police station Sunday near Baghdad, killing at least 17 people and wounding 33 others, hours before the announcement of Saddam Hussein's capture, the U.S. military said.

Also Sunday, an American soldier was killed trying to defuse a roadside bomb.

That wasn't a car bomb in Iraq. It was some gas tanks, set off by jubilant Iraqis firing their weapons in the air. Yeah. That's the ticket.

Because, ya see, there can't be any more suicide bombings in Iraq, because WE CAUGHT THE ACE OF SPADES.

Now get with the program.
