Good news just keeps pouring out of Iraq like raw sewage from a broken sewer line. The latest is word of a massive truck bomb explosion in the small farming town of Armili north of Baghdad killed an estimated 100. The blast came just hours after another explosion in Zargosh claimed 22 lives. That particular attack occurred during a funeral, which made it convenient for the victims.

Separately, eight American soldiers have died in the last two days.

Meanwhile, President Bush celebrated his 61st birthday with a party.
