Insurgents Attack U.S. Bases in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Insurgents attacked several U.S. bases and government offices with mortars Thursday before dispersing in the capital of western Iraq's Anbar province, residents and police said. Meanwhile, Iraq's interior minister fired his top official for human rights in connection with a torture investigation.

The attacks in Ramadi occurred as local tribal leaders and U.S. military officials were to hold their second meeting in a week at the governor's office in the city center. The insurgents apparently tried to shell the building, but reporters inside said there was no damage or injuries.

Police Lt. Mohammed al-Obaidi said at least four mortar rounds fell near the U.S. base on the eastern edge of the city, but that there were no reports of casualties.

An AP Television News video showed the insurgents walking down a shuttered market street and a residential neighborhood, as well as firing four mortar rounds. The masked men, however, looked relaxed and did not engage in any battles, and no U.S. bases or government buildings were shown.

I don't believe there is an organization in Iraq called "al-Qaeda." And I don't believe there is a person named "Zarqawi" anywhere inside Iraq.

These attacks come 24-hours after the
Idiot in Thief just claimed everything's
going great in Iraq.

Bush = fantasy Land.
Insurgents = reality.

What the Beeeeeeep!!!!!!

zarqawi and bin laden were no more than those life sized bozo clowns I remember from childhood..you punched them and they flopped over and stood right back up...well, when bush* got power after 9/11 he took a pump..and pumped up bin laden and then zarquawi and pumped and pumped and pumped till now they appear as large as that marshmellow monster in the movie Ghostbusters..remember him?

"...Iraq's interior minister fired his top official for human rights in connection with a torture investigation."

Sounds like their getting the hang of it...governing like the present US administration. But they still hang onto the antiquated notion of firing wrongdoers. Tsk tsk! Go back and read Bremer's playbook again, please....

So now he's fired. You're right. They're learning quickly.

it should read "Enemies of a Legitimate Iraqi Government Attack U.S. Bases in Iraq." :evilgrin:

Boy, that some case of throes. :eyes:
