I think the backlash from this port agreement will be massive. If Bob Brinker is livid then most other big money conservatives are also aghast. Bush is toast and what's better yet...........JEB's run for the Presidency will be adversely affected. We can't afford any more of this Bush incompetency.

Trouble Brewing in Iraq (sure smells like a Civil War) Another Shia shrine bombed as 60 killed in fresh Iraq violence * Car bomb explodes in Karbala * Funeral procession of Arabiya journalist attacked BAGHDAD: Sectarian tensions, already at a peak, were further inflamed on Saturday in Iraq when bombers blew up a car in the Shia holy city of Karbala and bombers blew up a well-known Shia tomb in Taz Khurmatu in northern Iraq, police said. At least 60 people, including 16 policemen, were killed in fresh violence across the country. The car bomb in Karbala killed at least eight and wounded 25. The fresh attacks came after more than 140 people were killed nationwide in a surge of sectarian bloodletting triggered by the bombing on Wednesday of one of the holiest Shia shrines in Samarra, north of Baghdad. The Karbala bombing targeted a busy shopping street in the west of the city, as a police patrol passed by. Akil Mohammed, 30, said he saw two people drive the car into the street. In other violence, 12 farm labourers were shot to death in an orchard on Saturday morning in Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad. They included both Shias and Sunnis, a relative of the victims said. Police said that seven more bodies were found in Baghdad. Two policemen were killed and five wounded when a bomb targeted the funeral procession west of Baghdad of an Al-Arabiya journalist killed on Wednesday in Samarra where she had gone to report on the shrine bombing, police said. The procession had earlier also been shot at with one more policemen killed. Three people were killed when a rocket hit a house in Baghdad. One worker was killed when gunmen stormed a factory. The US military announced on Saturday the death of a soldier from non-combat related injuries on Friday. US President George W Bush called the head of Iraq’s largest Shia political party on Saturday to discuss the bombing of a revered Shia shrine. Bush condemned the attack on the Askariya shrine in Samarra and offered to help rebuild it, according to a statement from Abdul-Aziz Al-Hakim’s office. Police said gunmen killed 12 members of a Shia family in Baquba. Rockets and mortars fell on Shia Sadr City in eastern Baghdad. One destroyed a house and killed two women and a man. Fourteen bodies of police commandos were found on Saturday near a mosque where clashes with gunmen took place overnight, police said. Iraq’s defence minister warned of the risk of a “civil war” that “will never end”. “If there is a civil war in this country it will never end,” Defence Minister Saadoun Al-Dulaimi told a news conference. dailytimes.com.pk
