The Sunni leader who met with Bush was assassinated in a bombing today. The explosion supposedly took place within the heavily-fortified barrier 50 meters from his home. But fear not! Look at the progress Iraq is making already after the leader’s untimely death:

Interior Ministry spokesman Abdul Kareem Khalaf told al-Iraqia state TV that the minister of interior has ordered a monument to be built in memory of the sheik, in addition to naming a police brigade after him and dispatching that brigade to Anbar to assist the council.

Sweet! A monument and they’re naming a police brigade after him. I bet the members of that brigade are thrilled that they’ll bear the name of the man who cooperated with Bush. Countdown to when they’ll get blown up, too?
