Picture of the Day - 2



















Openly in the streets of Baquba.

Armed militants raise their weapons while driving in a car on the outskirts of Baqouba, 60 kilometers (35 miles) northeast of Baghdad, Iraq, Thursday, Dec. 28, 2006. Dozens of masked gunmen paraded in the Gatoun district of Baqouba, a mixed Sunni-Shiite town that often has considerable amounts of insurgent activity. (AP Photo)

(The Sunnis are consolidating in Baquba as part of their larger strategy.)

  • I saw a picture the other day in the paper, (can't seem to find it online, but maybe you have it) that showed guns being sold at grocery stores next to rice and water. Goes to show how essential to daily life guns have become in Iraq. Sad.

    Yeah, sorry, I'll link. I've been lazy keeping up the maintenance.
