More than 150 dead in Iraq blasts
At least 157 people have been killed in a string of attacks in Iraq's capital, Baghdad, security officials say.
In the deadliest incident, some 115 people were killed in a car bombing in a food market in Sadriya district.
An attack on a police checkpoint in Sadr City and several other explosions left at least another 42 people dead.
The attacks came as Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki said Iraqi forces would assume control of the country's security by the end of the year.

(YahooNews)-233 killed in Iraq, most in bombings BAGHDAD - Suspected Sunni insurgents penetrated the Baghdad security net Wednesday, hitting Shiite targets with four bomb attacks that killed 183 people — the bloodiest day since the U.S. troop increase began nine weeks ago.

Haven't 600,000+ people died in Iraq? Whats another 300. The funny thing is that the people killing them are perfectly sane and they haven't stalked anyone or were loners.
I just hope the world understands that it isn't the soliders fault, its just that our country was hijacked by neocons. In the future I hope the forgive us when we take back the country.

Islam forbids one from killing anyone that is innacent and those who have done no harm.
why not refer to them as the cancer that plagues this planet?

Who knows, maybe these defenders of Iraq will probably achieve that goal.

Of course Bush, nor Blair nor anyone else will make a speach..
We have been numbed by the carnage..
You see it everyday on TV.. in fact, I would actually say it would be more surprising that NO ONE died in Iraq in any given day, not how many did.
You're right, people care, its just that your so used to hearing about it, and that it is so far away, and because people have been numbed to it, no one acknowledges it. They are used to it.
