BUSH WHITE HOUSE AND FOX NEWS MISLEAD BY SAYING THINGS ARE GOOD IN BAGHDAD. 50 IRAQIS KILLED WEDNESDAY IN BAGHDAD

The Bush White House and FOX NEWS keep telling the American public "the surge" is working and violence in Baghdad is way, way down. It is not true. On Wednesday alone 50 Iraqi civilians were KILLED in Baghdad and scores more injured. The so-called "surge" is looked upon on as total failure in the eyes of the residents of Baghdad. The only people who believe the "surge" is a success are the people who are ignorant enough to believe what the Bush White House and FOX NEWS are telling them.

The Iraqi people, and especially the residents of Baghdad, know the "surge" is a joke and hasn't done a thing to calm the violence in the capitol city of Iraq.

Car bombs ripped through crowded areas in Baghdad and former insurgent strongholds to the north and west of the capital on Tuesday, killing more than 50 people and breaking a recent lull in violence in predominantly Sunni areas.


The attacks came a day after 18 people were killed in two car bombings and a suicide attack in northern Iraq — a deadly reminder of the threat posed by suspected Sunni insurgents even as clashes between Shiite militia fighters and U.S.-Iraqi forces continued elsewhere.

The first blast Tuesday occurred in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, when a car parked in front of a restaurant exploded just before noon across the street from the central courthouse and other government offices.

One survivor described a huge fire that sent black smoke billowing into the sky and left charred bodies inside their cars.

"I was on my way to the government office when a big explosion occurred near site," said the witness, who would only identify himself by his nickname Abu Ali. "As I approached the site, I saw cars on fire, burned bodies and damaged shops damaged with shattered glass everywhere."

At least 38 people were killed and 64 wounded in the blast.
