The Bad: A string of car-bombs have killed dozens of civilians in Iraq. Yesterday, there were car bombs in Baghdad, Baqubah, Mosul, and Ramadi, which is the largest city in the usually quiet Anbar province. This comes at a time when the fraudulent spokesman for Al-Qaeda in Iraq, Al-Baghdadi, has called on Sunnis to strike "crusaders". Of course crusaders means killing other civilians for these thugs. Two of Grand Ayatollah Sistani's aides have survived an assassination attempt in Basra and Kut. Also, a reputable journalist, Michael Gordon, has reported that the Iraqi units are deserting the fight in Sadr City (pics here).
The Ugly: The State Department is getting all riled up again about mandatory assignments in Iraq. What, you thought foreign service was all about hooking up with hot babes at the Bangkok embassy? Welcome to the sand box.
