| #2 It seems to me that the terrorists are going through men and materiel at a frantic pace before the elections. They are using up assets that will be harder and harder to replace. The key in this situation is the Allies' and Iraqis staying power to stay the course. More Iraqis will rat out cells. The bases for action for terrorists are diminishing, witness Fallujah, and now Mosul is being addressed. The tide is turning, but we have to keep the MSM and the LLL of the backs of our military so they can do their job. |
A car bomb exploded outside the cement blast barriers of the Australian Embassy in Baghdad on Wednesday, witnesses said. It was not immediately clear if there were any casualties. The blast rocked the capital around 7:00 a.m. and was followed about a half hour later by another explosion, which sent a column of black smoke rising above the eastern part of the city. There was no word on what caused that blast. Officials at the Australian Embassy could not immediately be reached. The embassy is located in Baghdad's central Jadiriyah neighborhood.
