Car Bomb Blasts Entrance to Baghdad's Green Zone

...a big one, inside the Green Zone, someday. Maybe not tomorrow, but someday.

And there'll be a Beirut-sized disaster, a one-day, three-digit jump in the death toll from this foolishness.

And then we'll throw Sistani the keys, say "See ya!" and go home.

:puke:

peace

And they want to hand this shit off by June 30th. I think bush is trying to live his wet dream.

we are n ot leaving Iraq. soldiers will be there 130,000 strong well into 2005. If the interim gov't we turn Iraq over to decides they want a Sheite President..we'll revoke local rule so fast it'll make your ass sorer than an American interrogation technique.

We are not handing over control of anything. We want Iraqi oil, we invaded and seized the oil wells first. We are not leaving until we are driven out by the Iraqi version of Minutemen.

We have spotted the enemy, and he is us.

Why cant they secure this area? If i am not mistaken it has been hit before. This is one of the entrances where all the Iraqis that work for us, translators mainly, line up to pass thru in the morning.

the 'enemy' is EVERYWHERE now... we are DOOMED with 0 good options on the table... i just 'pray' the neoCONs have sense enough to realize that.

peace

"A picture is worth a thousand words..."
In our case, make that attacks.
Make no mistake, the prison pictures will
cost us more than we can even begin to imagine.
BHN

Move along, now.

The photos were the last straw.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide car bomb exploded Thursday near a checkpoint to the main complex housing U.S. administrative offices in central Baghdad, killing five civilians, a U.S. military officer said.

At least a dozen people were injured in the blast, the officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Three of the injured were U.S. soldiers, two of whom were in critical condition.

A suicide bomber killed five Iraqis and a US soldier outside an entrance to the headquarters of the US-led coalition.

Several people were hurt, including two US soldiers said to be in a "very serious condition" after the first bomb to target coalition offices for weeks.

An officer said the attacker drove up to a checkpoint in central Baghdad and detonated explosives.

Just before midnight two soldiers were killed and two were wounded when a roadside bomb exploded in the city.
