At least 169 Iraqis were killed or found dead today..... More On Iraq by georgia10 Sun Nov 12, 2006 at 06:58:40 PM PST With Democrats calling for a phased redeployment of troops, expect the most stubborn of war supporters to become more shrill as they contend that any drawdown of troops from Iraq would constitute "failure." Well, this is what failure looks like: BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Baghdad's morgues are full. With no space to store bodies, some victims of the sectarian slaughter are not being kept for relatives to claim, but photographed, numbered and quickly interred in government cemeteries. Men fearful of an anonymous burial are tattooing their thighs with names and phone numbers. In October, a particularly bloody month for Iraqi civilians, about 1,600 bodies were turned in at the Baghdad central morgue, said its director, Dr. Abdul-Razaq al-Obaidi. At least 169 Iraqis were killed or found dead today. As our government's own NIE concluded, Iraq is a "failed state." The old Iraq, that ideal of a liberated nation that would quickly be rebuilt and that would throw flowers at our feet, that Iraq is long gone. The new Iraq, the one borne out of our own incompetence and a long history of internal conflict, that Iraq requires a fresh approach to stop our bloodshed and to curb the Iraqi bloodshed as well. Tomorrow, our government will take one step towards at least discussing a new approach as the president will be meeting with the Iraq Study Group.
