The Iraqi Civil War continues: Two Sunni (Legacy of Mohammed) Moslem suicide bombers kill at least 57 Iraqi citizens in Kirkuk and Baghdad.  In Baghdad the bomber attacked a crowd of Shi’ite (Partisans of Ali) Moslems; in Kirkuk the bomber attacked a crowd of ethnic Kurds.

       NOTE: Meanwhile no members of the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) lost their lives during the same period.

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Democratic (socialist/fascist) CONgressman Barney Frank, of the commonwealth of massachusetts, chairman of the house financial services committee, states, “I think this is a case where Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae [the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation] are fundamentally sound. They’re not in danger of going under.  I think they are in good shape going forward.”
