I suppose this will become the norm.

Who didn't see this coming? I mean...at least with some common sense, and not a moran.

Nice job, Dumbya!

end this. I just can't take it anymore

...O...

and hello to you; too bad we must meet under these circumstances

However, the influx of curious, reasonable posters is a plus.

Welcome to DU magicoflife!

:toast:

in that part of the earth. They know the vote on the constitution is coming up, so they're just trying to scare them folks.

But freedom will prevail....in that part of the earth.

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE!!!!

:sarcasm:

They don't indiscrimately mass murder civilians in mixed Shia and Sunni areas.

Is what I see over and over right now. They might have
been after the cops. There seems to be agreement on the
three suicide car bombs idea. I'm sort of wondering if
there was a 1-2-3 tactic used, which would explain the
high death toll.

Seems like 3 simultaneous attacks on a bank, a market, and
a police station.

At Least 60 Dead in Iraq Car Bombings

........The bombing that killed the five Americans was the deadliest single attack on U.S. troops since a roadside bomb killed 14 Marines near Haditha in western
Iraq on Aug. 3.

The five dead Americans were assigned to the 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force and were hit Wednesday while "conducting combat operations" in the insurgent hotbed, a statement by the Marines said.

The deaths brought to 13 the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq in the past four days. According to an Associated Press count, 1,934 U.S. troops have died since the war started in 2003.
.......President Bush had warned Wednesday that insurgents would increase their attacks, saying, "We can expect they'll do everything in their power to try to stop the march of freedom. And our troops are ready for it."

good work Chimpy

it seems like the attacks have never stopped. Would we notice an increase in attacks?

Would anybody like to guess what the REAL numbers are?

85 dead in triple car bombing
From correspondents in Baghdad, Iraq
30sep05

AT least 85 people were killed and more than 110 wounded overnight when three car bombs exploded within minutes of each other in the mainly Shiite central Iraqi town of Balad, police said.

Two pick-up trucks blew up in a central shopping street at 6.30pm and 6.40pm local time, with a third pick-up exploding in another neighbourhood 10 minutes later, local police Lieutenant-Colonel Adel Abdallah said.
A fourth car bomb exploded an hour later in northern Baghdad, targeting an army patrol, although no casualties were immediately reported.

Lt-Col Abdallah said at least 85 people were killed and more than 110 wounded in the blasts.

The slaughter just quietly and hidden from view hums along like so much white noise.

Back to the cathode tube, yellow pills and into the coliseum we go.
