| BAGHDAD, July 20 (UPI) -- At least 11 Iraqis were killed and 25 others injured in a suicide bombing attack outside an army enlisting center in Baghdad Wednesday. The explosives were detonated in the crowd of volunteers near al-Muthanna airport, in the fourth such attack to target that particular center. Medics said 11 bodies were transferred to hospitals, as well as 25 wounded people, many suffering extremely critical injuries. Iraq army and police centers are frequent targets for suicide bombers indicating an obvious attempt to discourage Iraqis from enlisting in the government forces. |

| #3 Might sound a bit edgy, but since these are men, not little boys or girls, and since its summer in Iraq, meaning scorching temperatures, why not line up in tank-tops and undershorts? The guy sportin' a huge bulge in his nether-regions either lined up at the wrong job site (hey, big boy, try "the porn actors wanted" line next door!) or is packing in pretty hot stick of C-4. Otherwise, seems like a common sense security measure that ought to be implemented ASAP. |

| #1 Whatever happened to "take a number"? What's so difficult about this? Why keep lining up like lambs to slaughter? When they're ready for #35, hang the number out a window or use a bullhorn. Damn. |
