Meanwhile, at that OTHER disaster....

Things aren't looking so hot in those Iraqi 'Green Zones.' The tragic loss of life not only continues, but continues to get worse.

September 14,2005 | BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A suicide car bomber struck as day laborers gathered to find work in a Shiite neighborhood in north Baghdad, killing at least 88 people and wounding 227 in the deadliest of a series of attacks in the Iraqi capital on Wednesday. Al-Qaida in Iraq reportedly claimed responsibility. (. . .)

Iraq's Health Ministry said that 88 people had died and 227 were wounded, making it the deadliest attack in Iraq since Feb. 28, when a suicide car bomber targeted Shiite police and National Guard recruits in Hillah, killing 125 people.

The Arab-language news channel Al-Jazeera reported that the terror group Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility.

But why won't that galdurn liberal media report about all the positive progress?
