"Iraq: A Promising Future."
From the files of The Keystone Cops:
Iraq has issued arrest warrants against the defense minister and 27 other officials from the U.S.-backed government of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi over the alleged disappearance or misappropriation of $1 billion in military procurement funds, officials said Monday.
And in the daily bloodscan:
a suicide bomber ...killing a U.S. soldier and six Iraqis
Gunmen opened fire on a convoy carrying delegates from the Arab League....policeman was wounded
suicide attackers set off car bombs in two other parts of Baghdad, though they caused no death [neat trick, two suicide bombers escaping unharmed in one day]
Four policemen ...killed in ...Baghdad.
In Kirkuk, ...four Iraqi soldiers were killed
two Sunni Arab political leaders, an Iraqi soldier and an Iraqi policeman...drive-by shootings in Mosul
A roadside bomb blast killed an Iraqi policeman in the city of Fallujah
And there you have it, today's Promising Future in one gulp.
