Iraq attacks linked to Bush taunts
From the free press that is Australia's News.com:
AT least 19 American soldiers were wounded in an attack on a US base in Iraq yesterday, and another US soldier was killed in an assault on his convoy in Baghdad.
News of the twin attacks brought a sombre start to American Independence Day activities for the 150,000 US troops stationed in Iraq.
The blows came as the US offered multi-million-dollar rewards for Saddam Hussein and his sons, and aides to George W. Bush countered claims the pResident had encouraged attacks on allied troops by his taunt to Hussein loyalists: "Bring 'em on".
The decision to offer rewards – $US25 million ($36 million) for the dictator and $US15 million for his sons Uday and Qusay – is more evidence of an about-face by a US administration that two months ago had dismissed Hussein's whereabouts as unimportant.
Damn US liberal media.
"Bring 'em on!"
