Hanging with Bush is bad for your health

A roadside bomb has killed an important Sunni tribal leader who was cooperating with U.S. troops fighting al-Qaida insurgents in Iraq. Sheikh Abdul Sattar Abu Risha and two bodyguards died in the attack near his home in Ramadi, the capital of al-Anbar province. VOA correspondent Meredith Buel has details from the Pentagon.

Bush met Abu Risha and other tribal leaders during a highly symbolic trip to Anbar province on September 3.

Hey George, things are sure going well out there in al-Anbar, aren't they?

Kum - ba - ya, my Lord, kum - ba - yaaaaa, kum - ba - ya, my Lord ... kum - ba - yaaaaa ... Someone`s sleeping, [deep sleep] Lord, Kumbaya, oh, Lord, Kumbaya.

And by the way, before you shed too many tears, keep in mind that Bush's new buddy there, Abu, was killing our guys just a few months ago.


Kumbaya, my Lord, kumba-yaaaaaaaaaa
