“Killing at least…”
Posted in: Iraq
In reality, at least the one where Charlie Gibson & George Stephanopoulos do not use the greatest hitjobs of the Right-Wing Blogosphere at Democratic Party Debates, the barely mentioned Bush Administration policies continue to reap a bitter harvest.
Police say a suicide bomber has struck a funeral in a town north of Baghdad, killing at least 45 people.
Police officials say the bomber detonated his explosives Thursday in the town of Albu Mohammed. They say the funeral was for two Sunni Muslim tribesmen who were part of a local Awakening Council battling al-Qaida militants.
Yes, the most dreaded descriptive of the last five years, "killing at least…"
If a phrase can sum up the whole disaster of the Iraq invasion and five-year occupation and how the broadcast media in particular has failed it, would be latest tripe about flag pins juxtaposed against a print story containing the ever occurring latest Iraq news containing the phrase "killing at least…"
And all this in the country we have incredibly transformed downward from brutal dictatorship to dystopian hell, and made into an armed camp of various sects where it is not secret Bush has deliberately allowed ethnic cleansing to occur so as to put each sectarian group into its own bottle, corked it, then have it be continuously shaken. The current steady stream of horrific to apocalyptic levels of carnage seems destined to completely blow someday.
Juan Cole linked to this news report that affirms that impression:
Not that our national media will bother to mention it. Killing at least…what’s left of American Democracy.
