Female suicide bomber kills 16 in Iraq
" A female suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives killed 16 people in Iraq on Friday in an attack on former Sunni Arab insurgents who have joined the security forces to fight al Qaeda, police said.
Another 27 people were wounded in the blast in the town of Muqdadiya, 55 miles northeast of Baghdad, in volatile Diyala, a religiously and ethnically mixed province which has become one of the most dangerous areas of Iraq.
Women and children were among the casualties, police said.

I guess that's why the military is souring on the war, huh?
Military Families Question Iraq War as Support for Bush Slips
"A Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times poll shows that Fletcher's skepticism about the war reflects a growing disenchantment within the broader military community, long a bastion of support for the Bush administration and Republicans. Among active-duty military, veterans and their families, only 36 percent say it was worth going to war in Iraq.
The views of veterans and their families are now closer in line with overall public sentiment. The poll shows that 32 percent of the general population supports the war. The poll conducted Nov. 30-Dec. 3 also finds that 37 percent of military-family members approve of the job Bush is doing as president, a little more than the general population.
The same trend holds true on the question of the treatment of active-duty military, veterans and their families. The poll finds that only 29 percent of all poll respondents say they believe the Bush administration is doing a good job handling those needs. Among military families, who directly benefit from those programs, 35 percent say the administration is doing a good job.
At the same time, a plurality of military-family members, 39 percent, say they believe Democrats are likely to do a better job handling those issues, compared with 35 percent for Republicans.
When it comes to candidates in next year's presidential election, military families are less reliably Republican than in earlier campaigns. Two Democrats, Senators Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois run slightly ahead of former Republican Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney among those voters, and both Democrats trail only slightly former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani."
They can't even tell the truth about that!
Ron Paul does best amongst the military!
Maybe this recruitment poster will help:

In a MOST DISGUSTING and SLEAZY WAY!
Dems Considering Proposals That Would Quietly Fund...

Some House Democratic leaders are considering plans to quietly fund the Iraq war while trying to minimize the political fall-out.
One of the latest proposals under discussion involves putting $30 billion in a nearly-completed omnibus spending bill that would be earmarked for the war in Afghanistan, but could freely be used for operations in Iraq.
According to Hill sources, Rep. David Obey, D-WI, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, initially pushed the Afghanistan funding idea. Top House Democrats Steny Hoyer (D-MD) is said to support the idea, while Speaker Nancy Pelosi has argued against it. But in an interview on Thursday, she acknowledged that "there probably will be some level of [money] addressing Afghanistan" in the omnibus.
"Democratic leadership is considering this as a way to get the White House off their backs," said one Hill staffer with knowledge of the legislative proposal. "If the money isn't required to go only to Afghanistan then the president is going to do with it what he pleases."
Among Democrats who favor a less confrontational approach with the White House, the idea is highly regarded for several reasons: Democrats will be funding what is perceived within the party as "the good war," while also preempting White House criticism that the Pentagon is being strapped for cash.
The "good war!" Ugh!
9/11 was an INSIDE JOB!
Which means the "War on Terror" is a LIE!
Critics describe it as another capitulation to President Bush, in the face of consistent and strong opposition to the war among the majority of Americans.
I'd use much harsher language than that!
Democrats acknowledge feeling the heat [from Bush].
A senior Democrat adviser: "There is a lot of pressure from certain segments of the caucus to go ahead and advance the funding. The hope is that by doing something like this, it will buy us time with the President... The question is how long can we continue that going forward."
DemocraPs make me fucking sick, readers!
I'm sorry, world, and I'm especially sorry to the people of Afghanistan and Iraq!
