Meanwhile, Back In Iraq

As the GOP basks in the fervor of their convention, the battle against occupation rages on in Iraq.

"A militant Iraqi group said it had killed 12 Nepali hostages and showed pictures of one being beheaded and others being shot dead, the worst mass killing of captives since a wave of kidnappings erupted in April. "

"We have carried out the sentence of God against 12 Nepalis who came from their country to fight the Muslims and to serve the Jews and the Christians...believing in Buddha as their God," said the statement by the military committee of the Army of Ansar al-Sunna."

It's going to take more than chanting a mantra that "they hate our freedom" to win this war. It's getting old, the casualties are mounting and foreign civilians are becoming innocent victims now being picked off by the dozen.
