Suicide bomb at U.S.-Iraqi military centre kills 6

BAQUBA, Iraq, Aug 23 (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed a U.S. soldier, an American contractor and four Iraqi security guards at a joint coordination centre in a town north of Baghdad on Tuesday, the U.S. military said in a statement.

The attack in Baquba also wounded nine U.S. soldiers, four Iraqi police officers and six Iraqi civilians, the statement said.

Such attacks have raised fears that insurgents seeking to topple the government are infiltrating the Iraqi military and security forces.

I believe count is @ 1872, but waiting for icasualties.org updates...

4. Still throwing in the towel, I see

Instead of sending Rove, Bush, and Cheney to prison, I'd like them put in fatigues and sent to Baghdad for a real 10-month tour of duty. Those chicken shits would self-inflict inside of a week.

5. There is no way to foil such attacks.

So long as the occupation and puppet government earn such enmity, there will be suicide bombings.
