[trueblew]

3. President Flop...Flips Again

CIA not guessing, but estimating.

[fishface]

4. That's just part of the celebration of just how wonderful

things are going there..

[The Chronicler]

[Xipe Totec]

23. Rise, You Mean

Or rather, rise-up.

[alittlelark]

6. The Iraqis are applauding the b*sh Allawi

press conference

[leftchick]

[Mr_Spock]

8. Oh, it's just another of those extra large rose-petals hitting the

ground as they honor our presence there.

[sniffa]

10. Large expLosion of desparation

[skip fox]

16. W is "thinking": "Man, I can't wait till they kick us out of the country!

That's when we'll know they're REALLY desperate!"

[MallRat]

11. And remember, the right track/wrong track poll numbers are BETTER in Iraq.

-MR

[TrogL]

12. You've got to start putting dates on these things

They are as regular as the daily stock market thread.

[Roy Robertson]

18. I was thinking the same thing

This seems to be a daily occurrence. Maybe the mods should just pin it to the top of LBN and change the date from time to time. It'll save a little bandwidth...

[suegeo]

22. A time stamp could be useful too.

The weather channel has weather on the eights.

These explosions and "insurgent" bombings are occurring with similar regularity.

How about "Loud Booms" on the 2s?

[sonicx]

13. can't you smell the freedom?

yeah, it smells burnt...but don't you smell it?

[underpants]

14. More success huh?

Was it Wolfowitz that said that?

[Beetwasher]

15. Iraqi's Respond To Bush/Allawi Farcical Press Conference W/ Reality Smack!

Bush's fantasy world strikes again!

[Zynx]

17. This is news?

:nuke:

[billbuckhead]

19. They're just clearing ground for George w Bush square

It's just next door to "FantasyLand".

[Zero Gravitas]

21. you beat me to it!

[VegasWolf]

37. and just adjacent to the tiny Blair Park

( only poodles allowed )

[Zero Gravitas]

20. Construction

they're just starting construction of George W. Bush square... they're blasting the bedrock to make room for the foundations for the 200ft golden statue of War-President Bush as a small token of thanks from a grateful nation.

[TNOE]

24. Reporting News like this is just helping the Insurgents

or terrorists or the liberated Iraqi people, however you want to look at it. Shut up!!!! Everything is fine over there and saying stuff like this, well, it just demorilizes the soldiers.

Dripping S-A-R-C-A-S-M

[Barrett808]

30. Remember, the insurgents are now "anti-Iraqi forces"

In the latest Pentagon jargon.

[On the Road]

25. Alert: Celebration of Jewish New Year Extended

[calico1]

26. Maybe its a fireworks celebration to

celebrate that statue in the square to honor *. They are just exploding with freedom over there!

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

27. Indeed... you could say they are having a blast!

[AntiFascist]

28. Oh now, they're just celebrating independence day....

day after day......

[Almost_there]

29. Does anyone have a link?

I haven't seen anything on CNN.com, Fauxnews.com, ABCNews.com, and I haven't seen anything. Are explosions just such a way of life they don't even get reported? Or was this one of those flashing banners and no one knows what the hell just got blown up? Ugh.. what a mess.

[The_Casual_Observer]

32. I'll bet Allawi is wondering if he will get back to the green zone

in one piece. Yes, they are making progress (the insurgents) in Iraq.

[louis-t]

33. I think Allawi will

stay in country as long as he can. After all, * has made this country soooooo much safer. :eyes:

[goforit]

34. Bush saying to America..."Mission Accomplished"

Another beautiful day in Bagdad.........

Aren't those Republicans just so proud of themselves!!!

[dave123williams]

35. Yes, flowers are falling at our feet...

They just seem to be made out of nitro-glycerin and 10 penny nails.

[Eloriel]

36. Wouldn't the news be if there WASN'T an explosion today?

Seems like every single day.
