The photo above is said to depict the President's vision of "the typical Iraqi family in the "post Saddam era,
by that I mean the era that is after Saddam," the President is reported to have said. The photo was leaked exclusively
to Worldwide Sawdust by an anonymous but highly placed source who told this reporter that "this will be the
President's final comment on what constitutes victory in Iraq."

An Iraq that has defeated the terrorists and neutralized the insurgency.

An Iraq that is peaceful, united, stable, democratic, and secure, where Iraqis have the institutions and resources they need to govern themselves justly and provide security for their country.

An Iraq that is a partner in the global war on terror and the fight against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, integrated into the international community, an engine for regional economic growth, and proving the fruits of democratic governance to the region.

Rice/Straw vows were exchanged today in Baghdad with the sounds of automatic weapons and mortar fire as a backdrop

Baghdad, Iraq (APE) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and British foreign Secretary Jack straw today stunned the world with a surprise visit to Baghdad on Sunday and a quick ceremony at an undisclosed location. Rice was sent reeling from a visit this weekend to Straw's hometown of Blackburn during which she was consistently met with angry protesters. Rice's visit to England and Straw's family was a stark contrast to the warm reception Straw received when he visited Rice's home state of Alabama last year. Well-wishers speculated that perhaps this might have weighed heavily in the couple's elopement to Baghdad.

The Washington Post has just reported within the last hour that a US airstrike has killed a family of 12 as they were sleeping in their beds just a few hours ago. They were asleep when the strikes occured. Most of the victims were women and children. The Iraqi government and local residents are saying that there were no terrorists present.

This is the very reason why we should not commit our troops to a foreign conflict like this except as a last resort. An Iraqi life is just as valuable as an American life, and the death of one innocent civilian is too many for a war that has no just cause. The blood of this family is on George Bush's hands.
