Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards slammed President Bush for connecting insurgents in Iraq with the terrorists who attacked the US on Sept. 11, 2001. The former Democratic senator said that the president's remarks "border on the delusional," and accused him of ignoring his own key role in allowing al Qaeda to gain strength in Iraq.

Ah, let's not forget the Iranian involvement.

Mortar attacks on the Green Zone have dramatically increased. Spinning

It must be like tossing pebbles into a pond, who on earth dreamt up the building of this billion dollar clusterfuck?
