7 explosions hit Baghdad within 5 hours

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A series of explosions struck commercial areas in Baghdad within hours Saturday, killing at least 17 people and dealing a blow to a huge government operation to secure the capital.

The blasts — seven within five hours — brought the death toll around
Iraq to at least 23 people. The bombings also wounded at least 72. A day earlier, a suspected shoe bomber blew himself up inside one of Baghdad's most prominent Shiite mosques, killing 13 people.

Elsewhere, a suicide car bomber exploded his vehicle as it was being towed near a police checkpoint, killing four civilians, said Capt. Rashid al-Samarie. He said the bomber claimed his car had broken down and hired a tractor to tow it while he rode inside.

Iraq? business as usual inspite of Bush "crackdown"

1. I'm sorry but this report is clearly false
We killed Zar-what'shisface AND THAT FIXED EVERYTHING so this puported "news from Baghdad" can't be happening. I mean President Bush went over there to fix things hisself!

Yahoo should be proscecuted and shut down for spreading misleading and treasonous propaganda.

4. If Bush turned a corner, it would break every reporter on tv's noses
but KO's, because their noses are all up Bush's Cheney.

5. Just another reason we need the GOP to remain unchanged
after November elections, even after Iraqi PM ask's Bush for a US. troop pullout timetable, Bush replies, shhh... you really don't want to say that, talk to the generals, I'll get back to ya...
