BAGHDAD - A suicide car bomb struck a restaurant in Iraq on Monday, killing at least 19 people and wounding 35, police said.

The attack occurred on a highway near Ramadi, a city that is 70 miles west of Baghdad, a policeman said on condition of anonymity out of concern for his own safety.

Three suicide bombers launched attacks in different parts of Iraq on Monday, killing at least 27 people and wounding nearly 60 on Monday, police and politicians said.

A parked car bomb also exploded outside the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad, killing one civilian, and a drive-by shooting wounded two guards at Tunisia's Embassy in the capital, police said.<snip>

1. Apparently it's going so well that jr is yanking his general guy out

of there to give them all a pep talk in Washington. They need to have somebody tell them it's going well, since the reports don't indicate it.

2. Not To Make Light of the VT Tragedy

But if Bushies had a candlelite vigil everytime a bomb took out 30+ Iraqis, they'd have no time to breathe.

Not a bad idea, actually.

3. General David Petraeus was summoned to the WH to tell.........

the decider that 'some' progress has been made in Iraq; basically telling bushco what they wanted to hear. Meanwhile the massive death and destruction continues in Iraq.
