Reporting from Baghdad - Suicide bombers killed at least 79 people today in two attacks in Iraq, reviving fears that Sunni extremists are gearing up for a new campaign of violence just as U.S. forces are preparing to pull back from the nation's cities.

There were no immediate indications that the bombings in Baghdad and nearby Diyala province were coordinated. But they vividly demonstrated that militant groups are still capable of staging attacks that cause mass casualties, as they did in the darkest days of the country's 2006-07 sectarian war.

Seems to me that with OBOZO the CLOWN in charge of apologizing to the world about how bad we are, how we torture the poor detainees, that the TERRORISTS are getting a new lease on life, er, MURDERING innocents in Iraq.

The IzzlamoFascists have received the message loudly and clearly from Obozo the Klown that "THEY" have nothing to fear from the nasty USofA when Obozo is at the helm We are NOT at war with Izzlam but THEY are at war with USA!

“US is pulling out, so whats the point of this mindless slaughter?”

Same as it always was...for the Islamists and Al Qaeda to take over Iraq. That’s why it was stupid of Obama to set a time table for troop withdrawal. He is an idiot.

The Iraquis better get used to the under side of a bus, because that is where Obama is going to kick them, and soon.

I think the reaction to us leaving too soon will make them hate us. Thanks Obama, but at least you bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, which I guess makes up for the stupid decisions you are making.
