Another American Kidnapped in Iraq, Beheadings Continue
President Bush is failing miserably to quell violence in Iraq. Let's not let election news block out important news about the deteriorating situation there, like this article today informing that a second American has been kidnapped in Iraq this week. In addition to the news of the kidnapping of a Lebanese-American businessman, the article mentions that a videotape surfaced today showing three more beheadings. And on Fallujah, it reports:
Al-Jazeera television broadcast a threat by an unspecified armed group to strike oil installations and government buildings if the Americans launch an all-out assault on Fallujah. The report was accompanied by a videotape showing about 20 armed men brandishing various weapons including a truck-mounted machine gun.
