Three suicide car bombings killed 20 people in northern Iraq on Thursday, including a top municipal council leader and a bodyguard of Iraq's Kurdish deputy prime minister, officials said.
Continuing violence during the past days has also claimed the lives of three children, a U.S. soldier and a Sunni Muslim cleric, underscoring the rampant, random nature of an insurgency that has killed almost 800 people since the April 28 announcement of Iraq's new Shiite-led government, according to an Associated Press count. - AP
That April 28th announcement was one of the many times we were told we had "turned a corner" in Iraq. We've been told that over and over and over again.
The problem, of course, is that is if you keep turning corners, you're traveling in circles.
