You Left-Wing Extremists are always posting slivers from here and there. Living on the fringe by Kenneth Phillipps. You never post your own words for more than a one liner. Is that all there is in your head? One line at a time? I know it is One Way, maybe that makes it easier for you. Never look back at your mess. Your wife must be a saint or in prison for attempted murder of you...

Yup,it's going well over there! Allawi Claims Assassination Attempt Sunday, December 04, 2005 BAGHDAD, Iraq — An angry crowd confronted Iraq's former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi at a Shiite shrine south of Baghdad on Sunday, forcing him to flee in a hail of stones and shoes. Allawi called the attack an assassination attempt. In Baghdad, one of the five judges in the trial of Saddam Hussein stepped down because one of the co-defendants may have been involved in the execution of his brother, a court official said Sunday. Another official said police had uncovered a plot to fire rockets at the courtroom when the trial convenes Monday for a third session. The confrontation in Najaf began when about a dozen men, some armed with clubs, tried to block Allawi from entering the Imam Ali mosque, one of the holiest Shiite shrines in Iraq. Allawi's bodyguards fired shots in the air to disperse the crowd. Once Allawi and his entourage were inside, the crowd grew to about 60 and as the group left, they were showered with stones and shoes — a sign of contempt in Iraqi culture. Allawi and his security force knocked over barricades as they scampered to their vehicles and sped away. Allawi later said the group was armed with pistols, knives and swords and at least seven shots were fired from the crowd.

Vehicles in Bush Motorcade Crash Sunday, December 04, 2005 WASHINGTON — President Bush's motorcade had a minor accident Sunday when the ambulance that routinely trails the president in case of an emergency crashed into a support vehicle on the way back from Camp David. Secret Service spokesman Jonathan Cherry said no one was injured and the motorcade did not stop before arriving at the White House. The presidential limousine, which travels near the front of the motorcade of more than a dozen vehicles, was not involved. The accident occurred a few blocks from the White House. The motorcade's lead vehicles slowed down, but the ambulance did not stop in time and rear-ended a Chevy Suburban carrying high-tech communications equipment, damaging the back bumper and doors. The Suburban in turn hit a support van in front of it. Cherry said all three vehicles had minor damage. Bush typically commutes to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland by helicopter, but potentially bad weather forced him to return by car Sunday after an overnight stay.
