Can't worry about Iraq. Have to bash gays. Plus, we're making progress in Iraq. Bush-style progress:
In other news, masked gunmen stopped two minivans carrying students north of Baghdad, ordered the passengers off, separated Shiites from Sunni Arabs, and killed the 21 Shiites "in the name of Islam," a witness said.Good thing the President and Bill Frist have nothing else to worry about. Good thing they can focus the attention of the government of the United States on gay-bashing this week. Just wondering how many people have died because of gay marriage compared to Iraq or even Katrina.
In predominantly Shiite southern Basra, police hunting for militants stormed a Sunni Arab mosque early Sunday, just hours after a car bombing. The ensuing fire fight killed nine.
The two attacks Sunday dealt a blow to Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's pledge to curb sectarian violence. He again failed to reach consensus Sunday among Iraq's ethnic and sectarian parties on candidates for interior and defense minister - posts he must fill to implement his ambitious plan to take control of Iraq's security from U.S.-led forces within 18 months.
