A car bomb exploded Wednesday at the entrance to a fruit and vegetable market in south Baghdad, killing 11 people and wounding about 30, police and hospital officials said.

The blast, which occurred about 7 a.m. local time at the Rasheed market in the city's southern Dora area, follows a sharp increase in violence in Iraq last month, raising concern that militants have regrouped after suffering sharp setbacks in fighting over the last two years.

Most of the recent bombings have taken place in Shiite areas, suggesting Sunni militants such as al-Qaida in Iraq are responsible. The Rasheed market is in a mainly Sunni area but the farmers who bring their crops there are predominantly Shiites.

Truly sad. Obama may be able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory after all. Al Qaeda in Iraq certainly knows what we know...that Obama is a coward and a Muslim sympathizing moron. Here we go again.

Obama agreed to have all combat troops out of the cities by end of June 2009 and the terrorist are feeling emboldened to get a jump start on their thug boundaries.

hussein’s weakness as a leader and his muslim religion have caused evildoers... and big ears is a domestic evildoer... he has caused these evildoers to think that victory is within their grasp... and with hussein... it probably will be because he will retreat or worse... order our guys not to retaliate... pos marxist that he is!

It is sad — the tactics the enemy is using makes sense. They know our zero president will surrender when his base starts to yell and scream, so the more pressure they put on Iraq, the quickly our coward-in-chief will surrender. Truly sad.

It’s your fault, Zero, it’s your fault!
