Excerpt:
BAGHDAD, Iraq – A suicide bomber killed nine people at the party headquarters of the Iraqi president Tuesday, and fierce gunbattles between supporters of an anti-American Shiite cleric and Iraqi forces left at least six people dead, officials said.
The suicide bomber blew up his bomb-rigged truck in the parking lot of the headquarters of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani’s party, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, in the northern city of Mosul.
At least five civilians and four Kurdish security personnel, known as Peshmergas, were killed, police Col. Abdul-Kareem Ahmed al-Jibouri said. He said 41 people were injured in the blast, which damaged the one-story office building and set 17 cars on fire.
H.L.s Take:
If we pull out now, the terrorists win. Ooops, sorry they already won thanks to the gross incompetence of our Commander in Chief.

Thanks to the votes in congress that authorized the war……you keep forgetting. You like to blame the one instead of blaming all.

True enough Buzz, true enough. If they took the same vote again today, it would not pass. So why can’t they work on a way to get them out of Iraq now???

They should work together to find a way I agree. Saddam is gone and the three parties can have the civil war they want. The situation in Iraq was a huge miscalculation buy ALL those that decided to go.
Iraq will be a mess until the three parties there can get along……or be so afraid of Saddam part II they maintain control. The reason Saddam did so well there is he killed opposition even within his own party. The ethnic groups that make up Iraq never wanted to cross him. Now you have no control there. It will be strange to see how the Iraqi’s handle it.
