Another day of Substantial Comma Investment

To combine Dear Leader & his faux spouse's words on Iraq:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - At least 36 Iraqis died Tuesday in bombings, officials said, including a coordinated strike that killed 25 in western Baghdad. Separately, the deaths of six U.S. soldiers pushed the American toll beyond the number of victims in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The three coordinated car bombs in western Baghdad injured at least 55 people, a doctor at Yarmouk hospital, where the victims were taken, said on condition of anonymity because of safety concerns. The attacks occurred in a mixed Sunni and Shiite neighborhood.

Meanwhile, Bush, ignoring the screams of the public, refuses to deal with anything that smacks of a personal rebuke and may -- via one of the world's worst polite people William Kristol -- be contemplating a PERMANENT SURGE.
