Whatever happened to that concrete wall around Baghdad?

Wasn't that supposed to stop most of the violence?

And now we have 60,000 Iraqi security forces in Baghdad and still dozens were killed today.

Miserable failure?

quite.

2. The Green zone..

aptly named, for it guards the neocons looting. The rest of Iraq is known as the red zone, the blood red zone.
