BAGHDAD, Iraq - Insurgents launched two major attacks Friday against a Shiite mosque and a police station in Baghdad, killing 30 people, including at least 16 police officers, the deadliest insurgent attacks in weeks.

Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Sunni rebel group, al-Qaida in Iraq (news - web sites), claimed responsibility for the attacks. The claim, which appeared on an Islamic Web site, could not immediately be verified.

"The destructive effect that such operations has on the morale of the enemy inside and on its countries and people abroad is clear," the claim said.


The attacks occurred in the western Amil district and in the Sunni Muslim stronghold of Azamiyah, where police said a car bomb exploded during a clash between Iraqi government security forces and armed rebels near a Shiite mosque called Hameed al-Najar. Witnesses said the mosque suffered some damage, including shattered windows.

1. Just when I thought I was "out," they reeled me back in.

I can't help thinking of that line... mostly as done in the Sopranos.
As if we think we "got" them all.
We have NO handle on anything.
These poor Iraqis -- horror on all sides.
Shame on Bush and company. Blood on their hands will never be rinsed clean, no matter what happens in the next 50 years.

2. Oh, these are just a couple of "remnants"......

of insurgents. Come on people - can't you see we're "winning" and "mission accomplished?" And besides, who cares about 30 more deaths of Iraqis? They're not really people like we 'Murikans are.
