BAGHDAD, Iraq Baghdad's governor says gunmen have killed his number-two man. He says the deputy governor (Hatim Kamil) was on his way to work Monday when he was assassinated in a drive-by shooting. Another Iraqi official says two of the man's bodyguards were wounded in the attack.
Insurgents have killed dozens of Iraqi politicians and government workers in recent months in a bid to destabilize the country's reconstruction.
There are many very brave people working to make Iraq a decent place for Iraqi's.
It's Bush's fault...'cause, y'know, nobody got assasinated during the Saddam administration...

Politics: 1 November 2004, Monday.
The deputy governor of Baghdad has been assassinated and four of his bodyguards wounded in a drive-by shooting on Monday.
Police say the drive-by shooting that killed Hatem Karim occurred in the southern Dora district of the Iraqi capital.

Insurgents again. What a nuisance those insurgents are.
(grr)
THEY ARE TERRORISTS YOU STUPID LEFTISTS!

Quit calling these slime "insurgents". They are terrorists! They do NOT belong to Iraq, and it's time to clean the crap outta the sandbox!

I see great minds think alike..... both in posts and in taglines!
Prayers for the family of this brave man, and for emerging sovereign citizens of Free Iraq.

Fallujah negotiator, Hatem Karim, challenged claims that Zarkawi is in the city and said the elusive terror mastermind had become similar to the weapons of mass destruction which Washington had insisted were in Iraq but have never been found.
"We want to know what evidence there is of Zarkawi's presence in Fallujah," Karim said in an interview with Al-Jazeera television. "Zarkawi has become like Iraqi WMD ... We hear this name, but it doesn't exist. More than 15 to 20 houses were destroyed in Fallujah because they were accused of harboring Zarkawi or Zarkawi's followers."
I've got a feeling things will heat up in Baghdad and Fallujah later this week. I think there's been some holding back because of the election and we'll lower the boom once it's over with.
Just a hunch.
LOL! No kidding - that's eerie and appropriate (for a forum like ours) and... .. cool! :)
(I take it you've been where I've been and vice-versa to have a tagline like that - GOOD ONE)...
I wish they'd lower the boom now. Honestly, I am NO expert in things military but holding our guys (and gals) back because of sensitivity concerns is stupid - and obviously fatal.
I don't think our war plan should include options for what is happening in our election - but that's just me.
(BTW - Please stay safe. Prayers for all of you there. Let them know we love and support them and pray for them to come home SAFE - We appreciate everything they're doing in our names.)
AMEN. Hopefully after this election is over Bush won't have to pull any more punches. Level Falluja and set an example, the Islaminazis only understand violence, unfortunately.

A hunch, eh? You wouldn't perchance have been watching the news, have you? =)
Oops...."Haven't perchance...."
What a country!
The news? I get my own live sound and light show sometimes. :-)
You know what it is? People aren't angry about the violence.....
They are angry about it being on their TV screens.
And that is the truth.
May God be with our armed forces.
