Rough Day In Iraq

Wednesday: 3 US Soldiers, 36 Iraqis Killed; 17 Iraqis Wounded

Updated at 6:35 p.m. EST, Dec. 26, 2007

At least 31 Iraqis were killed or found dead and 17 more were wounded in the latest round of violence. Seventeen of the dead were from a mass grave near Baquba. Meanwhile, Turkey continues to send warplanes into Iraq, but the only casualties were reported on the Turkish side of the border. Also, three U.S. soldiers were killed in separate incidents

*********************************************
And this at the height of the surge. The longer we delay stepping back and letting the Iraqi's solve their own problems, the harder it will be to extricate ourselves from the latest sectarian battle in a 1400 year old civil war. What a bloody pickle the neocons have got us into.

Napolitano Cuts Loose on Bush

I know this guy is a Fox News acolyte, but his views on the Bush administrations shredding of the constitution is spot on. I watched most of this speech on c-span a while back and it is spellbinding from a conservative former judge no less. He pulls no punches and takes no prisoners.
