What Raed in Baghdad has to say about the blast (blog)....

bad scene, very bad scene.
U.N. Says at Least 10 People Are Killed in Blast

was there about an hour after it happened. really bad. very quick response from the American military, the helicopters with red crosses on them were going back and forth and there wer always three waiting to get the poeple to hospitals. ambulances going back and forth. the whole area cordoned off. the worst was having to talk to people who have relative and family in there. it is a car bombed there is no question about it.
you realize this is the second car bomb, the jordanian embassy.
there is a friggin' Iraqi idiot now on Jazeera saying that the security responsibility should be given over to the Iraqi Governing Council. Fuck off, this is not about American presence in Iraq. these attacks have nothing to do with the so called resistance. These are fucking idiots who destroying all the efforts to help this country get back on it's feet. the fucking Governing Council could not control this mess the moment the Coalition Forces move out we are plunged in chaos. We have entered a dark dark tunnel and we have no idea what will happen now.

in Baghdad's Summer of the Americans, with a perspective.

He knows the local knife fights.

Some of his views catch me off-note, but mostly he's dead-on.

Methinks he's a Sunni awaiting the coming Shia horde. I can dig it. He probably would not look forward to French replacements, against blood-crazed fundamentalist zealots.

The people who are behind these attacks want power in Iraq. If the Americans leave, then they will keep attacking the next group who is in power. They will keep attacking until they get the chance to take over.
