30 beheaded bodies found in Iraq
2006-03-27
As Iraq's political leaders remain deadlocked over a new government, the violence continues with 30 decapitated bodies found near Baquba. The bodies were found on a highway near the restive Iraqi city 65km northeast of Baghdad. The police said the bodies, which have not been identified, were tossed out on the side of the road near the village of Mullah Eid, about 30km southwest of the Baquba, notorious for its sectarian killings. Since the dynamiting of a Shia shrine in Samarra on 22 February, large numbers of corpses have been found in Baghdad and surrounding provinces.

#2  Just noting that Verlaine in Iraq sez (in a comment in another thread today) that Coalition authorities are trying to authenticate this story and so far they've found no proof that this actually happened.

#1  It was the second high-level US delegation in less than a week delivering the same message as the Bush administration strives to overcome the political impasse that threatens the start of a possible American troop pullout this summer.

So if the pullout is going to begin this summer, the insurgents only need to hold out a few more weeks ... then start the civil war.

If they believed Bush, they'd lie low until the US was gone. If they believe the MSM/quagmire meme, they'd be ramping up the violence.

So the real winner is the media, with still more shocking, horrifying news every day.
