10 days from the elections, Iraq spins out of control
Two years on, George Bush's Freedom and Democracy still has to win the hearts and minds of the people of Iraq, a country with around 200.000 Resistance fighters, determined to vanquish the U.S. occupation forces.
This morning, another 26 people lost their lives and dozens were injured when five car bombs exploded in Baghdad. One, which exploded outside the Australian Embassy in the supposedly safe Green Zone at 07.05, killed two soldiers and wounded four other people, two of them soldiers. Another, half an hour later, killed 18 people and injured scores of others near Al Alwiyya, according to Interior Ministry officials.
The third bomb exploded at 08.30 outside the military base of Al Mouthanna, killing at least one civilian and one soldier and wounding several soldiers, according to accounts from eye witnesses.
The fourth bomb, outside a bank, targeted local policemen, who were receiving their orders for the day. It is unclear how many of them were killed, but the latest reports state "several".
The fifth exploded near a vehicle driven by Iraqi policemen near the airport. Two were killed and three were wounded.

How many ? I don't think if the most outrageous claims have seen that number. The attempts to prevent Iraqi democracy probably number no more than around 25,000 of which probably half are former Saddam loyalist with nowhere to go so they might as well fight. Another 8000 are now recognised as a rag tag mob of Syrians, Yemenis, Iranians and a few Afghans drawn to the conflict by religious extremism and a blind following of Islamic dogma. The remainder bitter young men who as a result of the fighting have lost family members and now seek vengenace on the US forces.
But let's not forget the majority of the Iraqi people, those who no longer live under the brutal Saddam regime. Those who now are seeking to join the new Iraqi police and army (police recruitment up 300% in January ! souce - Saudi TV)).
Iraq has many challenges ahead of it but the terrorist scum that are killing innocent Iraqis will be beaten.

world a favour.
Let the Iraqis fight for freedom and bollocks to that election is just a scam!
Screw your kind and the corperate media and get of this planet and live in Mars.
At least all Yankie scum can live there or best still die there and leave us
all alone to live in harmony. Then wars will be the thing of the past!
