Car bombs in Baghdad, Kirkuk kill dozens By RYAN LENZ, Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Bombs exploded Sunday in Baghdad and the northern oil center of Kirkuk, killing more than 60 people and dramatically escalating tension as the prime minister left for Washington for talks on reversing the country's slide toward civil war.
The blasts occurred as Iraqi forces and the U.S.-led coalition mounted a major crackdown on the country's most feared Shiite militia, the Mahdi Army, blamed by Sunnis for many of the sectarian kidnappings and killings that threaten to tear the country apart.
The USA military is having a tough time in Iraq due to so many American Troops being shot.
Elsewhere in Baghdad, the ( USA ) Marines and Army continue their fight to free Iraq from the violence but are not making progress due to the insurgents putting up a severe fight. This was not expected when Bush over threw the Iraqi Government. It looks as if the USA will once again eat Crow.
