Iraq
Roadside Bombs Continue to Take a Heavy Toll
2008-02-09
BAGHDAD - Iraqi police arrested 31 Shiite activists Saturday in early morning raids south of Baghdad, and five American soldiers were killed in two roadside bombings, officials said.

The U.S. troops were killed Friday — four in Baghdad and one in the northern Tamim province, the military said. At least 3,958 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

#5  lotp is by and large correct. I think that some is home grown but only because of the technology and knowledge infusion from Iran. I would dearly love to send the Iranian mullahs and leadership along with the IRGC to H*ll with allan and mohamhead.

#4  lotp, I was referring to the war, day after day, decade after decade, as the Arabs do in Israel.
No agreements, no final solution, no advancement to toleration, no consideration of the opponents positions, and especially, no forgiveness, just blood letting.

The MSM must be salivating with another "grim milestone" in sight.

#2  Those explosives are coming from the Persians, wxjames, not from the Arabs.

#1  Explosives don't grow on trees. We need to retaliate in kind against those who provide the explosives and those who provide the manpower. We are not, and why would they cease on their own ? This behavior is standard for phucking Arabs, there is no reason to believe it will end unless and until we kick ass.
After the VN war, the VN were screwing around with Red China. Result, China sent a massive incursion into North Vietnam and killed everyone and everything in their path. End of game.
