100 casualties' in Iraq attack
A mortar attack on an Iraqi National Guard headquarters north of Baghdad has caused many casualties, Iraqi officials have said. There is so far no clear breakdown on the number of dead, but more than 100 people are believed to have been killed or injured, the officials said. Six mortar rounds fell on the building in Mashahidan, 40km (25 miles) from the Iraqi capital, AP news agency said. Two American field hospitals are treating the wounded. US Blackhawk helicopters are also helping to evacuated the injured, AP reported. Iraq's fledgling security forces have been a frequent target for insurgents opposed to the country's US-backed government. Since the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan last week, 13 police officers have been killed in separate attacks.

We find ourselves at a juncture where forces hostile to the survival of this nation actually believe they can sway the outcome of American political elections by the number of people they can kill in foreign lands and the amount of publicity those deaths can generate in the American media.

According to Michael Moore, we should be rooting for these monsters, I mean "freedom fighters" and "minutemen", who wish to derail the advance of democracy in Iraq.

6 mortars used with accuracy indicate an inside job. Somebody recently paced off the distance to the building. Time to hold a shakedown and see who squeals.

Exactly, the terrorists/insurgents are trying to get 2 birds with one stone. And the left media, skerry and the dim rats will aide their effort in defeating democracy in Iraq.
It's hard to fathom really, that these so called Americans(?) are doing everything in their power to undermine the effort of our Brave Leader and Troops, and those Iraqis who are fighting for a democracy in a land that has never known true freedom.
Can they really be that stupid?? Can they not see how they are playing into the hands of terrorists and even emboldening them? Are they really that power hungry that they will endanger a country and it's people from realizing the benefits of democracy that they so freely enjoy? And at the same time aide those who would destroy America?
rhetorical questions /off
Damn, I'm going to be on pins and needles until this election is over.. God help us.. GWB must win!!!
