Meanwhile, in HAP-HAPP-HAPPY LAND

Bush's War -- that McCain wants his name on -- is still just as "awesome" as ever:

BAGHDAD - Twin car bombs struck near the compound of one of Iraq's most powerful Shiite politicians Monday, killing at least six civilians and wounding 20, police and hospital officials said.

A dense cloud of black smoke rose over the offices of Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, the leader of the country's largest Shiite party, the Supreme Islamic Iraqi Council, or SIIC. More than dozen cars were destroyed in a blackened area, and a brick building was blown apart.

Police said the bombs were planted in cars lined up at a gas station nearby.


That's right -- Iraq, a place that, thanks to Bush, despite the world's second largest oil reserves, you still wait in line for gas.

So who did it?

I know the U.S. will say Al Qaeda.

But there are plenty of Al Sadr aligned groups that would love to take a whack at al-Hakim, who is one of Bush's buddies -- while at the some time snogging with Iran.
