From the AP:
4 CommentsAmerican forces are tracking about 50 members of an elite Iranian force who have crossed the border into southern Iraq to train Shiite militia fighters, a top U.S. general said Sunday.
In east Baghdad, a mortar barrage slammed into a mainly Shiite neighborhood, killing 12 and wounding 31, police said, and a major battle raged north of the capital where residents of a Shiite city were fighting what police said was a band of al-Qaida in Iraq gunmen.
Insurgents? Insurgents?! Enough nonsense: jihadists.
From the AP clones:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S.-led coalition forces killed 20 insurgents, including two women, Friday in fighting and airstrikes that targeted al-Qaida in
Iraq militants northwest of Baghdad, the military said. The mayor of the village, which was the site of a U.S. raid earlier this year, said 19 civilians were killed, including seven women and eight children.

I doubt anyone is surprised by the overt arrogance that is still starching the pants of Saddam Hussein. Let us not forget that this man is a study of Stalin and Hitler and he was trained in an Egyptian law school.
He knows his days are over, but he’ll use these last hours as a forum whenever possible. I think it’s important that we not give him a forum and allow him to become the new focal point of Iraqi politics, but the United States probably has only limited influence on the Iraqi run court proceedings.
