Sounds to me like AL-Qaeda. The Baathists don't go for suicide attacks, if I'm not mistaken.

[Huck]

Iraq sucks.

"Of course we don't understand why somebody would attack the Red Cross," Doumani said. "The Red Cross has operated in this country since 1980, and we have not been involved in politics." Asked whether the organization would remain in Iraq, she replied: "I don't even know what we're going to do."

Maybe she will now understand what Bush meant when he said, "You're either with us or against us in the war against terror." Will this prove to the Red Cross that there us no such thing as neutrality here, no room for appeasement? Probably not.

Remember when we were first in Afghanistan and the Arab world was up in arms that we should continue fighting on Ramadan.

So here they are, blowing up their own people, fellow Islamics on the first day of Ramadan.

"Most of the victims were Iraqis."

For all the Euroweenies and Arab apologists for terrorism, it's not some romantic and "daring" attack on the evil American occupiers, the Baathists and al Qaeda are doing what they always do, kill their own people. They don't want a peaceful, prosperous Iraq. They want a tyrannical hellhole. Al Qaeda's version goes back to the 7th century, while the Baathists prefer the 1930's.

They're anti-human killers, the lot of them. There's no negotiating, only fighting or surrender.

I sure am glad that we are terrified of offending Muslims by having military operations during Ramadan. Clearly, they respect and revere this holiday, and want it to be a peaceful one.

"So here they are, blowing up their own people, fellow Islamics on the first day of Ramadan."

Now it's time for fresh, new lies to dampen our resolve.

It appears to be an operation based in Syria. Forget justice. This is a war. Syria is becoming to Iraq what Cambodia was to Vietnam. We must hit Syria. I don't mean to occupy. This might even require a logistical meltdown in Syria, a war of attrition.

About 12 people were killed at the International Committee of the Red Cross (search) building in central Baghdad and 27 others were slain in attacks on three police stations. Most of the victims were Iraqis. The U.S. military said one American soldier was killed in one of the police station attacks.
