Iraqis Find 87 Bodies Within 24 Hours
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Police in the past 24 hours have found the bodies of at least 87 men killed by execution style shootings in a gruesome wave of apparent sectarian killing, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday. They include at least 29 bodies stacked in a mass grave in an eastern Shiite neighborhood.

Much of the bloodshed — the second wave of mass killings in Iraq since bombers destroyed an important Shiite shrine last month — followed deadly weekend explosions in a teeming Shiite slum in which 58 people died and more than 200 were wounded.

But don't call it a civil war! And, apparently, bush and his cohorts think that this kind of stuff means that things are going "very, very well".
I'd hate to see what it would have to look like for them to think it was going badly!
