Friday: 1 U.S. Soldier, 21 Iraqis Killed; 9 Iraqis Wounded; 30 Iraqis Kidnapped
Thursday: 2 GIs, 30 Iraqis Killed; 48 Iraqis Wounded
Wednesday: 14 Iraqis Killed, 52 Wounded

It's fascinating when the Bush-Bots at Townhall.com invoke the thought that Rudy being such a flaming jerk to his wife, kids and his whole city when he was having his affair with Judi makes Bill Clinton look like a choir boy.
