Somewhere Tinkerbell is weeping.

Casualties in the sectarian violence in Iraq the past four days is three times what has been reported in the US press. Iraq's Deadly Surge Claims 1,300

Hundreds of unclaimed dead lay at the morgue at midday Monday -- blood-caked men who had been shot, knifed, garroted or apparently suffocated by the plastic bags still over their heads. Many of the bodies were sprawled with their hands still bound -- and many of them had wound up at the morgue after what their families said was their abduction by the Mahdi Army, the Shiite militia of cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.

The truth just didn't fit into Karl and chimpy's preferred narrative last week. Civil war? what civil war? nothing to see here, move right along.

When Tinkerbell gets through crying, I expect someone will finally notice that she's been dead for quite some time, and is, in fact, a reanimated zombie. Clapping won't change that.
