STOP LYING ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF THE "SURGE." BOMB OUTSIDE SHIITE MOSQUE IN BAGHDAD KILLS 17
The American public has been sold a bill of goods on the so-called success of "the surge."
There was a lull in violence for a very short period of time and now Iraq, and in particular Baghdad, is now in the throes of a series of suicide bombings that have killed almost two dozen people.
And according to sources in Iraq, the violence is going to escalate.
Women suicide bombers are signing up by the hundreds to carryout suicide attacks on not only Iraqi civilians but U.S. troops.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media in the United States is fixated on the election and tonight's vice president debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin.
The United States "fiddles" while Baghdad "burns."
Bombs outside Shiite mosques in Baghdad kill 17

BAGHDAD — Suicide bombers targeted Shiite worshippers as they left morning prayers today at two Baghdad mosques, killing 17 people and injuring more than 30 others, police said.
In a separate attack, gunmen fatally shot six people as they were traveling in a minibus in Wajihiyah, a town about 60 miles north of Baghdad.
The dead included two children, three women and a man, police in Diyala province said. Another woman and her small child were injured.
The bombings in Baghdad occurred as Shiite worshippers were celebrating the holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
No group claimed responsibility but attacks on Shiite civilians are widely associated with Sunni extremists such as al-Qaida in Iraq in a bid to reignite the sectarian conflict that plunged the nation to the brink of civil war two years ago.
In the deadliest attack, a suicide car bomber in a white Mercedes sedan detonated his explosives about 20 yards from a mosque in Zafaraniyah in southeastern Baghdad. He set off the bomb when Iraqi soldiers tried to stop him from approaching the building, police said.
That attack killed 12 people, including three Iraqi soldiers, and injured 23, police said.
In the other attack, a suicide bomber detonated his explosive belt as worshippers were leaving the Rasoul mosque in the capital's eastern New Baghdad district. Five people died and nine were injured, police said.
