Bombers Strike Baghdad's Green Zone Again (2nd time in 2 days)

[Tab]

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A suicide car bomber killed seven people at a Green Zone checkpoint early Tuesday, the second attack in two days near the same gate into the district that houses Iraq's interim government and the U.S. Embassy, officials said.
...
Tuesday's blast at the Green Zone checkpoint killed seven people and wounded at least 13 people, said Dr. Hassan AbdelSatar from Baghdad's Yarmouk Hospital.

Police Lt. Rafid Abid said the attack was carried out by a suicide car bomber.

A mushroom-shaped cloud of black smoke rose from the site of the attack, which was near where a bomber struck Monday, killing 13 and injuring 15 people. The location is near the Harthiyah gate on the western edge of the zone, which has been repeatedly targeted by bombings and mortar and missile attacks since it became the headquarters of the occupation authorities in May 2003.

No U.S. troops were injured in either blast.

1. good...

I echo Arundhati Roy's words...we can't just support the Iraqi resistance, we MUST BECOME the Iraqi resistance.

Good for the insurgents!

Why don't we compromise and call it "Maple Street?"

3. America brings death....

Why do we white people seem to destroy every culture we come into contact with? We've got a bad record going.

5. No place to hide

ANYMORE. Bu$hco has committed OUR sons and daughters to this "slog" with Iraqi rebels, and OUR country is on the worlds main stage being depicted as complete fools day after day. What does it take to wake the other 40+ percent of the U.S. population up?:wtf:

6. God

We don't even control the green zone. This adventure will go down in history as the only disaster that could top Vietnam.

8. It's just a matter of time now until a

missile lands inside the Green Zone. The odds increase as the election nears.

:freak:
