Iraq Progress Report

Not everything's as great in Anbar as we'd like to think:
The Sunni leader, Abdul Sattar Buzaigh al-Rishawi, who met and shook hands with President Bush during a visit by Mr. Bush to Iraq last week, led the Anbar Salvation Council, an alliance of clans supporting the Iraqi government and American forces. Initial reports suggested he was killed either by a bomb in his car or by a roadside bomb close to his car near his home in Ramadi in Anbar Province, the sprawling region west of Baghdad.
This guy basically died for a Bush photo-op.
