Breaking News: Massive Bombings in Baghdad

A string of carbombings in Baghdad Sunday killed three or four dozen people and wounded over a hundred. Two of the big blasts targeted the poor Shiites of Sadr City, who have proven in the past especially willing to engage in reprisal killings against Sunni Arabs. It seems likely that this is the guerrillas' further attempt to bait them into sectarian civil war.

More later.

12. This whole dance reminds me of that scene in "High Anxiety"

I mean, newspapers are running out of ways to say "on the brink".

"We getting pretty high, we're high, can't get any higher. We're PRETTY HIGH!"

3. No civil war in Iraq .... * said that the Iraqis had rejected it.

REPORTER: Mr. President, what are our plans if civil war breaks out in Iraq?
DUBYA: Yes. Step one is to make sure -- do everything we can that there not be one. Secondly, I believe the Iraqi people have made a choice. It wasn't all that long ago that 11 million people went to the polls. It may seem like an eternity, but that was last December that people defied assassins, car bombers, threats and said, we want a democracy. Secondly, the first real test for an interim government occurred when the Shia's shrine was blown up, the holy site. And while there's -- as I said earlier, there was -- no question there was violence and killing, the society took a step back from the abyss. And people took a sober reflection about what a civil war would mean.
-- Besides using "secondly" twice, Dubya never actually answers the question of what the U.S. will do if civil war breaks out in Iraq, Washington, D.C., Mar. 10, 2006

9. Do you all remember how this started?

We imprisoned innocent people -- even some hostages -- in Abu Graib and let their families sit in the shadow of the prison FOR A YEAR waiting for word of their loved ones.

And we shut down a newspaper in Sadr City.
