Not About the Pope

I WILL have a few items re: JP el segundo, but first, a few notes and news from elsewhere, including this--ANOTHER attack on Abu Ghraib. I guess most folks heard about this weekend's raid, which, in typical fashion, was dismissed by a "senior American officer" as a sign of "desperation" on the part of the insurgents...

Damn, they sure have been desperate for a LONG time.

Juan Cole also notes the deaths of two more soldiers as well as mortar rounds aimed at the Green Zone (hardly worth mentioning in the press these days, it seems).

Violence also flared up in Thailand and Saudi Arabia--which hardly bodes well for the "global war" on terror. Something tells me that Team Bush, after boldly announcing their intent to blast away (made for GREAT ratings), quickly lost interest and began looking for other toys to play with. Unfortunately, those whom they declared "war" on decided to fight back...
