BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two suicide car bombers struck within a minute of each other just a half mile apart in south Baghdad shortly before noon Thursday, killing at least seven policemen and raising the day’s bombing death toll in the capital to at least 31, police said.

Earlier Thursday, a suicide car bombing killed sixteen policemen and five civilians in the same neighborhood, signaling a new round of violence one day after residents suffered through Baghdad’s bloodiest day of the war.

At least 160 were killed and 570 wounded Wednesday in more than a dozen bombings, which the terror group Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility for. Many of the victims were day laborers lured by a suicide attacker posing as an employer. There was no immediate claim for the Thursday bombings. Al-Qaida in Iraq said it was behind the Wednesday attacks; there was no immediate claim for the Thursday attacks.

Al-Qaida’s leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, purportedly declared “all-out war” on Shiites, Iraqi troops and the government in an audiotape posted Wednesday on an Internet site known for carrying extremist Islamic content.

4. It was for another (power-grab building) photo-op, like always.
The Disaster pResident doesn't give a **** about poor Americans and/or poor Iraqis. Period.

7. I Don't See An Exit Strategy On The Horizon
Bush's policy of the "Americans standing down as the Iraqis stand up" is eerily reminiscent of Nixon's failed VietNamization policy... The South VietNamese army were supposed to stand up as the Americans stood down but they didn't... They cut and run shortly after we left at the first sign of a Viet Cong offensive...

The sad thing is Viet Nam was not nearly as vital to this nation's interests as Iraq is... We stay in Iraq and remain a target for terrorist attacks and a disruptive force... We leave Iraq and it descends further into sectarian chaos.....

There are no good choices....

8. Choices?
Choices don't matter to *.

Osama attacked us... he could not find him, so he attacked Iraq...

when he realizes we cannopt really WIN anything, then his lust for war and blood wil lmean we attack someone else who has done us no harm...

Choices? * way or no way.
