Staying the Course

Reuters reports on today's bombing in Baghdad:

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Insurgents detonated three car bombs near a U.S. military convoy in Baghdad Thursday, killing 41 people, most of them children rushing to collect sweets from American troops.

Then there are today's other bombings:

In two other attacks, a suicide bomber blew up his vehicle near a U.S. checkpoint outside the capital, killing two policemen and a U.S. soldier, and a car bomb killed four people in the restive northern Iraq town of Tal Afar.

Oh--and maybe Bush isn't so steadfast after all--here's a story titled "Bush's Top Ten Flip-Flops:"

Short Version:

1. Weapons of Mass Destruction

2. Nation Building and the War in Iraq

3. Iraq and the Sept. 11 Attacks

4. The Sept. 11 Commission

5. Free Trade

6. Homeland Security Department

7. Same-Sex Marriage

8. Winning the War on Terror

9. Campaign Finance Reform

10. Gas Prices

Maybe I'll also thrown one down whenever Bush says he's steadfast--or words to that effect--or whenever he implies that John Kerry isn't.

Meanwhile, on the subject of steadfast, is it just me, or does it seem that Tony Blair AND Michael Howard are going out of their way to insure Kenneth Bigley doesn't make it home alive? Jeez. If Mr. Bigley DOES manage to survive his ordeal, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he tried to claim political asylum--since England appears to care not one bit about him.
