Excerpt -

TUZ KHURMATU (AFP) - A suicide truck bomber ripped the heart out of a northern Iraqi village on Saturday, killing at least 105 people and demolishing dozens of homes and shops, police and medics said.

Ambulances and private cars ferried dozens of bloodied corpses and wounded civilians to clinics in the nearby town of Tuz Khurmatu and the provincial capital Kirkuk, where desperate relatives waited for news of the missing.

Officials were stunned by the scale of the blast, which devastated the main market in Emerli, a small rural community of people from Iraq's Shiite Turkmen minority living in an area notorious for Al-Qaeda militants.

While our media seems to make fun of the foiled attack in Britain. I have news for the media. These people bent on this destruction will get better and better in their ordinance, delivery methods, and increasing carnage. Coming soon to neighborhoods near you and me.

Proof yet again that the US should withdraw our military from this locale so that the people who keep sending suicide-bombers to do things like this can take the power over the region that they desire, more easily.

No mention of our troops. This is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Now they not only kill civilians but civilians in an insignificant little village.

The Iraqi people need to wipe out the terrorist scum among them to stop atrocities like this.

Yup, unshackle on Iran. Take out the training camps, then level all military sites. Dump their navy to the bottom of the straits.

“A so-called “surge” in American troop numbers, bringing the total in Iraq to 155,000, has allowed commanders to take back control of parts of Baghdad and reduce violence in a belt of towns around the capital.

But there are signs that insurgent groups are shifting their focus farther north to avoid these operations, and US generals say that the increased troop levels will need to remain in place for many months.”

The Iraqi Army have been for some time now, and their losses have been high. The IP where politics has a heavy hand, have been less then good in some areas.

Bomb Iran!

When the terrorists blew up a nightclub in Berlin, the United States bombed Libya, since that was the source.

Everytime a suicide bomb goes off, Iran should be hit hard.
