That is the very heading the democrats need to use
to win next election, a very simple question "Are you any safer today than
before George Bush came to power?"

WORLD WITH PRESIDENT BUSH'S AMERICA IN IRAQ ETC
What do we see? what do we hear? What do we feel about this world since
emergence of President Bush as President of the United State of America? In
the name of liberaisation, democracy and freedom, Middle-East is in turmoil
instigated by the only-western-recognised Superpower. Every day, unlike
during Saddam's Regime, the news is death, rape, mass-killing of innocent
Iraqi-civilians and other unfathomable atrocities. See the story below, apart
from the ongoing crisis in Lebanon. May God save our world from reckless
leaders. Ameen.

U.S., Iraqi forces raid Shiite militia
By RAWYA RAGEH, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 15 minutes

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi and U.S. forces raided a Shiite militia stronghold
of Baghdad Monday, triggering a gunbattle that left three people dead.
Elsewhere, gunmen traveling in two cars sprayed a barbershop in Baghdad
with gunfire, killing five people, while two policemen were killed in the
northern city of Mosul in a similar drive-by shooting, police said.
A roadside bombing southwest of Baghdad killed three U.S. soldiers late
Sunday, the U.S. military said. No further details were released. Ten people
died in a suicide bombing at a funeral in Saddam Hussein's hometown.
In Baghdad, sounds of heavy gunfire and explosions rattled the Sadr City
district starting about 1 a.m. Monday and lasted for more than an hour. Iraqi
government television and aides to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr said
U.S. aircraft were attacking buildings in the area.
"Several aerial and ground raids began in central Sadr City," al-Sadr
aide Jaleel al-Nouri said by telephone as detonations could be heard in the
background. "We can see several houses on fire."
Col. Hassan Chaloub, police chief of Sadr City, said three people were
killed and 12 injured, including five children. He said three cars and three
houses were destroyed.
The U.S. military said in a statement the fighting started when Iraqi and
U.S. forces raided the area to catch extremists suspected of running torture
cells. The forces took fire as soon as they arrived and one U.S. soldier was
injured, statement said.
The U.S. military recently reinforced its troop strength in the city to
try to reclaim the streets from militias which include al-Sadr's Mahdi
Army.
"There's gunfire from all sides," Kadhim al-Mohammedawi, a civil servant
who lives in Sadr City, said by telephone. "We can hear women and children
screaming."
The district became quiet after more than an hour, except for the sounds
of emergency vehicles racing through the streets. The fighting stopped when
Mahdi Army members received calls on their mobile phones, asking them not to
confront U.S. troops, said Col. Hassan Chaloub, police chief of Sadr City. It
was not clear who made the calls.
He said three people including a woman and a 3-year-old girl were killed
and 12 were injured, including five children and two women. He said three cars
and three houses were destroyed in fire.
The operation occurred less than two days after U.S. reinforcements
arrived in Baghdad from Mosul to help forces stationed here stop the growing
sectarian violence between Shiite and Sunni extremists in the capital.
The barbershop killings occurred a little after noon in the eastern New
Baghdad neighborhood, said police Lt. Ali Abbas. The gunmen, driving past the
shop in two sedans, opened fire, killing four customers and the owner, he
said.
In Mosul, gunmen opened fire on a taxi Monday, killing two policemen
inside, said police Brig. Saeed al-Jubouri. He said two other policemen in the
taxi were injured.
The attack on the mourners occurred Sunday evening in Tikrit, 80 miles
north of Baghdad. The bomber mingled among the crowd in a funeral hall and
detonated an explosive belt, police said.
Police Capt. Laith Hamid, who gave the casualty figure, said the mourners
were attending services for the father of a local council member, who was
killed in the attack.
The bombing was the latest in a series of attacks across northern Iraq in recent days that have tested
the capabilities of Iraq's U.S.-trained security forces.
On Sunday, Iraqi authorities in Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad,
lifted a partial curfew that was imposed two days earlier in the eastern part
of the city after police repulsed a series of insurgent attacks in which a
police colonel was killed.
The Defense Ministry said security forces had arrested 62 people in a
crackdown across northern Iraq after the street battles.
In other violence Monday, two bombs exploded on Palestine Street, a major
shopping area of Baghdad, injuring 10 people, including a senior police
officer. Two bodies, handcuffed and shot in the head, were also found in
western Baghdad, said police Capt. Jamil Hussein.
