At least 61 people were killed and scores wounded Wednesday in the latest wave of attacks in the Iraqi capital and across the country.
Bombings and shootings, aimed at security forces and civilians alike, made it an especially bloody day as sectarian violence flared up.
The United Nations said 2013 was the deadliest year in Iraq since 2008, with almost 8,000 people killed, most of them civilians. Fears of all-out sectarian war have increased since violence broke out in Anbar province in recent days.
Much of the violence recorded Wednesday was in and around Baghdad.
Twenty-two people were killed and 74 were wounded by seven car bombs and two roadside bombs that exploded in the Iraqi capital, targeting mainly Shiite areas, police said.
Shiites are really getting pounded for not seeking a peaceful compromise with Sunni’s, but when Sunni’s had them under their heel they treated them about the same.
News from the worlds largest rock pile with no particular value…. An little Afghan girl thought to be 10 years old said she was beaten by her father and brother then ordered to put on a suicide vest in an attempt to bomb a checkpoint in Helmand province.
Spozhmai told the BBC that her father and brother had beaten her before the attempted attack, which ended when a soldier spotted her wearing the garment last week and she was placed in protective custody in Lashkar Gah.
Police maintain she was forced into the attack by her brother Zahir, thought to be a prominent Taliban commander.
Other than in most Islamic countries, when and where in the history of the world was sending out a little girl to commit suicide for vengeance ever considered justifiable and ethical? The Taliban are subhuman and they deserve what’s coming.
Who’s wars?
I mean … get real.
Libby Obama’s been in office for how long…? At what point do you assign him some responsibility?
Libby please note this was on CNN, not Fox:
All time biggest bloviator! Iraq was won when he took office. All he had to do was negotiate, keep a US presence, and keep the channels open. Instead he decided to play the pied piper for peace with an appeasement strategy that has created chaos and death for all of the poor people who live there who could once count on America but now know they cannot.
This is Obama’s war now…and its the biggest mess this nation has ever seen.
Hear, hear, Jack! Short, I just read, for:
Who’s Wars? and When the Iraqi’s kicked us out who made the agreement? Bush!
Every time our industrial military complex and the big oil companies start a war it ruins those country’s.
Remember the Shah? What country put him in and what country took him out?
Who is President matters none when it comes to these Phony wars.
Eisenhower warned us very clearly about the Military in his exit speech.

The same people who wanted the war now complain? LOL Americans are too smart to fall for Propaganda and many are waking up!
Those of us who care about truth are fighting the President on the TPP.
Iraq was a phony war for oil. Everybody knows it. What about the way Americans are used for profit wars and the innocent civilians?
What about the fact 911 is suspicious?
What about truth?
Bush said the Iraqi oil would pay for that war? Really? Why did taxpayers get the bill?

Funny part is we all said that war would cause more problems and all the pro war people said we were crazy, now they blame everybody else.
Well this admin has problems as all do when they obey orders from the underground that really runs this country. Let’s get real.
P.S. Why not watch Eisenhower’s exit speech? That is worth a million dollars these days.
