They thought it would be easy, well they were wrong!! Thanks to the Mongolian soldiers- they were guarding Camp Charlie and they opened fire causing vehicles to explode outside the base.

"12 Filipinos, 10 Poles, 10 Hungarians and an American"

No international support for the operation whatsoever. /sarcasm.

"Failed Suicide Attack"?

Failed Suicide Attack

The attackers didn't die? Allah is not happy!

[mewzilla]

These brave soldiers, our allies, are the people John Edwards recently referred to as window dressing.

Where is the outcry that these murderers killed Iraqis? Are Iraqis caught in a quagmire? Shouldn't Iraqis pull out?

More than 64 people were injured in the blasts, including at least 31 Iraqis, 12 Filipinos, 10 Poles, 10 Hungarians and an American, officials said. Polish Gen. Mieczyslaw Bieniek, commander of the 9,500-strong Polish military contingent, called it a "well coordinated terrorist attack."

If Bush only would have made this a multinational effort this never would have happened....

kaiser80, I posted the longer article (with different headline) here:

You're absolutely correct. W/out those alert heroes, this could have been MUCH worse.

O.K. Polish troops are quicker on the trigger, but no one puts up yellow crime scene tape, better than american troops after one of these suicide bombings.

Dem: "Bush's unilateral war was ill-concieved. We would internationalize the effort..."

Rep: "34 nations now have troops in Iraq. More than 60 nations support our action in Iraq. 90 nations worldwide support the international War on Terror. It is ridiculous to continue to misstate those facts."

Dem: "Well, those other countries aren't really doing anything, I mean, a token unit here, a few MPs there, it is a sham."

Rep: "During the height of the large scale military action, there were almost 45,000 British troops fighting on the front lines in Iraq. There are now almost 10,000 Polish troops protecting the citizens of Iraq from the Baathist and Al Qaida terrorists. Now South Korean and Japanese troops are also arriving to help. In no way was it ever a sham."

Dem: "Well, er... uh... that doesn't matter, since... since.. they came too late, that's it.. they missed all the action, so it doesn't matter..."

Rep: "Opponents of Bush's policies are constantly harping on the continued terrorist attacks, claiming that the war is by no means "over", which no one in the administration has said either. If it isn't over, then it is not too late."

Dem: "Well, er.. uh... it is still "Unilateral", no matter what you say..."

Rep: "It is a stong international coalition, not UN ilateral, thank god. Allowing the corrupt third world dictators and the on-the-take European and Arab politicians, which are puppets of Saddam, to have a veto in the UN over American national security would be an unmitigated disaster. And that would be your policy?

Dem: "Well... er..."

How can this be? We're there all alone.

Good work, and prayers said for the coalition wounded.
