BAGHDAD, May 17 (Reuters) - A car bomb exploded on Monday near a U.S. base in western Baghdad and there were several casualties, witnesses at the scene said.
Cars were on fire and a large column of thick black smoke rose into the sky. U.S. troops blocked off the area.
A U.S. military spokesman said he had no immediate information about the blast, which echoed across central Baghdad.
let decent Iraqis flee Iraq ... leave the rest ... bring back Saddam and put him in place ... apparently, there were too many that were loyal to Saddam to enjoy freedom ...
sorry for the rant, I'm fed up with these kind ...
Maariv reporting now:
A car bomb blew up near a US military base in western Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. First reports say that there are casualties. Reports say cars went up in flames, and smoke is present rising in the area.
I am just about fed up with this crap. Is this another muslim Taek Wan Do Instructor from Great Britain?
Why don't the decent Irai's go after these scum? If the terrorists are such a small percentage, as the media keeps telling us, then why don't these people do their OWN fighting??
I'm fed up too.
And some rental trucks.
I'm fed up three! Make that four.
A little off topic, but what I want to know is, WHY DON'T WE TAKE SADR OUT? He's not in hiding, what IS the hold up? Take him out and crush his little "militia".
We've really got to kill more of these people. Forget putting ladies underwear on their heads, just kill them.
decent Iraqis are as much hostages to these criminals as Americans were in the World Trade Center ... though, there must be some who know or suspect who these groups are ... they're amond the civilian population and that makes it tough ...
I sure hope there are much more decents Iraqis than this terrorists who are just like the PLO ...
"Forget putting ladies underwear on their heads, just kill them."
I vote that for great line of the day!!! I'm ROTF!!
You mean you aren't "OUTRAGED" at the HUMILIATION of a handfull of terrorists??? Sheesh, what's wrong with you???? :)
I don't know ... we should have let Saddam have Saudi Arabia and let them duke it out ... terrible I know, but I don't know how to deal with savages ... without us resorting to the last option ... which I fear is coming ... there simply is no dialogue, no reasoning possible with them ...
You can't dialogue with people that don't have respect for their OWN lives, let alone anyone else's.
JUST LIKE WE NUKED JAPAN (TWICE), WE NEED TO NUKE ATLEAST ONE CITY IN IRAQ.
bingo ... that's why I don't think we're going to see a good ending to any of this .... this isn't like World War II ... maybe time will prove me wrong ... but I wonder ...
gotta hit the sack ... g'night ... and stay safe ...
I can't belief this BUSH and Co have gone PC in this war

My son was roughhousing with my daughter and had a plastic sword up against her neck like he was going to cut it off. It perturbed me more than usual, and I told him "to knock it off. The terrorists just did that to one of our guys in Iraq, and I don't want you goofing around like that."
I told him "we're not like that. If we see a terrorist we just shoot them."
(Mom gave me a funny look!)
