Makin' progress
Bush optimistic on Iraq as the country edges closer to open civil war.
Iraqi authorities discovered at least 87 corpses -- men shot to death execution-style -- as Iraq edged closer to open civil warfare. Twenty-nine of the bodies, dressed only in underwear, were dug out of a single grave Tuesday in a Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad.
The wave of dirty killings seems to undermine the American government's insistence that Iraqi security forces can deliver the rule of law. Less than a month after an assault on a Shiite shrine in Samarra nearly plunged the country into civil war, the blood continues to flow, just as freely. The majority of the killings seem to have happened in the same areas where Shiite militiamen rampaged after the shrine attack, implying that no one is able — or willing — to stop them.
