IRAQ HORROR – AT 10:53 A.M. ET:  Terror in Baghdad, presumbly carried out by ISIS.  From CNN: 

(CNN) Iraq's capital was once again the scene of bloody carnage this weekend, with two separate car bombs killing at least 126 people.

The first detonation occurred Saturday on a busy shopping street in the central Baghdad neighborhood of Karrada, killing 125 people -- including 25 children -- and wounding 147 others, police said.

Firefighting crews pulled injured and trapped people from adjacent buildings damaged in the massive blast, including a coffee shop, stores and a gym.

The second bomb exploded at an outdoor market in the Shaab neighborhood of southeastern Baghdad, killing one person and wounding five others, police said.

The so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Karrada attack in a statement posted on Twitter. The group claimed it was targeting Shiite neighborhoods. Karrada and Shaab are predominately Shiite.

COMMENT:   We've kind of forgotten about Iraq.  Didn't Obama declare that a victory, or somethin'?  Yeah, maybe.

But the fact is that the Iraq War is still being fought, and ISIS is very much present. 

Another fact is that the sheer number of terror attacks recently is staggering.  Brace yourselves.  There will be more, all over the world.
