Sunni Leader Killed

BAGHDAD (AFP) - A member of Iraq's main Sunni Muslim party was kidnapped and later killed in Mosul, the party said in a statement.
"Yesterday Omar Mahmoud Abdullah, a senior leader in the Iraqi Islamic Party was kidnapped from his pharmacy and hours later was killed," it said Wednesday.
Another party official said Abdullah's bullet-riddled body was found seven hours after he was kidnapped dumped in the Al-Wihda neighbourhood on the eastern side of the city.
The party, which had recently announced its withdrawal from January's legislative elections, has also cast doubt over the legitimacy of the whole process.
A party that has withdrawn from the election questioning it's legitimacy is not a shock at all. In fact, every party that has dropped out already has said they do not believe the election will be valid. Unfortunately they cannot see this single statement helps the people who killed their leader, nor will any other group who will drop out prior to January 30.

CRAP, CRAP AND MORE CRAP. Why can't they BAN cars? Keep the people off the street; make sure everyone is home by 5 pm till 8 am but still no cars. The only vehicles on the street should be ING, the consulates, the military and that's it - it would put your huge amts of deaths on hold. Then get them through to the election then their constitution and from there, it's all up to the Iraqi's and anyone else there to finish the reconstruction. It's the only way I can think of to put these people on their feet.

So let me get this straight. They kidnapped and killed him AFTER his party withdrew from the election and cast doubt over the legitimacy of the whole process.
Didn't they say they wouldn't kill or hurt anyone who stood AGAINST the Americans and the elections? Liers. SSDD

Geez, Cindy, Ban Cars? We're trying to bring freedom to a mid tech country. I'd bet that driving a car in Iraq is just about the same as driving one in California . . if you have one . . drive it! You're going to sway a lot of people to your idea of freedom with that one!
The way around Car Bombs is to convince ALL the people in Iraq that they need not tolerate incivility. Try building a Car Bomb in this country like they do there, yer ass'd be in jail before you got the explosives assembled . . Yer neighbors would turn you in. They aren't that far yet over there.
Plus, just another excuse to use "Homocide Bombers" on foot . . they (the Palestinians) have been doing that in Israel for years . . .

With over 2 million Americans in the prison system at a cost of over $50K per year, we should offer the non violent offenders an early release if they join the military. Let those guys go over and kick some butt. We can send the violent offenders on mountain hunt patrols in Pakistan.
Sort of like the French Foreign Legion. The only thing that the terrorists understand is a bullet in their butt. They hate the world even other Muslims they are killing. They need to be killed and why wait for them to come for us, shoot them in their beds. Any terminal people listen up, how would they like it if our seniors beame human bombs in their communities. We need to play by their rules and put fear into them by hunting them instead of waiting for them to strike us. Civilization needs to rid itself of infidels that upset freedom and progress and fast food. I think if most of these guys that hated us had our donuts or burgers and fries they would love us.
