Baghdad Bomb Kills U.S. Soldier, 3 Iraqis

[bluestateguy]

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An American soldier and three Iraqis were killed in a roadside bomb attack in Baghdad on Friday, police said.
Captain Sami Hadi told Reuters at the scene that around 16 Iraqis were wounded when the bomb, planted in the middle of a busy road, exploded as a U.S. military convoy and a minibus were passing in opposite directions.

1. Looks like all the arrests

aren't working out so great. They may have slowed the rate of Americans being killed, but the manner in which they've gone about it I think will come back to bite them in the ass.
According to lunaville we stand at 444 dead, I'm not sure if they included the soldier I heard about on the news last night who died from wounds received last month.
Either way I don't know how all these assholes sleep at night, knowing that they're responcible for all this death and destruction.

2. Perhaps they are arresting the wrong people? n/t

7. it doesn't matter who they arrest

Even if they get the right guy, his brothers and cousins and nephews are going to take his place. U.S policy is not reflecting the nature of tribal honor systems, which are actually resulting in more not less attackers.

4. bushco is not made up of humans

just business interests and one psycho path who happens to be president.

12. How do they sleep at night? They have no conscience.

These dead Iraqis, the young children, the mothers, the fathers, the grandfathers and grandmothers trying to return to some semblance of a normal life, and our dead soldiers, the grieving widows and children and parents of our soldiers who left America to die on foreign sand for bush's oily agenda, they mean nothing, they mean nothing at all to the powers that be.

From Hamlet: "The play's the thing, Wherein I'll catch the conscience of a king."

But our King George has no interest in sentimental plays which might touch whatever tattered remnants remain of his humanity.

11. "BRING EM ON" challenged the power drunk Chimpanzee

Looks like the resistance is still hard at work.

Remote controlled bombs that are camouflaged.

Guess the U.S. never studied the movie "Red Dawn"

9. But we're led to believe`

That there are not "many terrorists"

If there are "many terrorists" then the policy is failing

If there are not "many terrorists" are the soldiers killing civilians?

Or are the soldiers lying?

Who knows.
