Only 29 Dead? Party time!

What kind of world are we living in where these stories can be reported about the same event?

One:

It's Party Time

Riding high on the successful elections in Iraq, President Bush and his aides now turn their focus homeward, as they look to Wednesday night's State of the Union address...

Two:

BAGHDAD -- An overnight rocket attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad that killed two Americans and injured four others set the tone for the election Sunday.

By the end of the day at least 29 people had been killed in attacks on polling stations and voters.

An hour after polling stations opened at 7am, mortar blasts began echoing across the capital city, at almost an attack a minute at times.
