2 dead 16 injured, as per Fox news
Are they? They killed at least two Americans and for now have got away with it. Our soldiers are killed everyday, yet I know of no new major offensives since Fallujah over two months ago. We need to be finding these people and killing them now, not sitting back in a defensive posture.
Amen, and thanks for the BTTT!
"Is that you Kerry, or is it Ted Kennedy? This is war, man. Unfortunately casualties are a result. Donald Rumsfeld has given full permission to his military subordinates to do any and everything to pre-empt attacks on our military. Get your head out and stop with the damning remarks, which only aid and abeit our enemies. Unless you have specific information that Rumsfeld has given orders of a negligent nature, STFU."
I was also wondering about how one goes about court-martialing a civilian. :-) How does that work, Paul? Could you please explain? Thank you! :-)
Apparently it was NOT the main embassy, but an embassy annex. No comfort there for the grieving families and friends of the lost and hurt...but the media needs to report it straight and not seek to trump it up IMHO.
Fox News reporting exclusively that the 3 guys who launched the rocket have been CAPTURED! Yippeeeee!!!
This is only the beginning.
More attacks by foreign insurgents.
Well said Lonevoice, and I wonder if I would have the guts to vote in their position.

Go Iraq...go!
Less than 48 hours left before the people of Iraq experience free decision making for the first time in their country's modern history.
It's a moment of pure freedom but still surrounded by lots of dangers just like any beautiful rose surrounded by spikes.
There is fear from the enemies of freedom who have their weapons already prepared to intimidate us and stop us from choosing our future.
But at the same time we're full of hope as we know that we've put our feet on the right track and even if we make a bad choice once, we know that we will have the chance to reevaluate the situation again.
No more tyrants ruling the country for decades.
We're standing before a historic moment and I won't be exaggerating if I said that it's an important moment for the whole world; we're standing before a crossroads and everyone should watch and learn from the rebirth of Iraq.
Regardless of the winners in the se elections, those who opposed the elections and resisted the change will have to deal with the new reality.
In 48 hours from now, the dying dictatorships and their filthy tools, the terrorists, will find themselves facing an elected legitimate government in Iraq.
The tyrants nightmare is becoming reality, now they will have to deal with the scariest word in their dictionaries; THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE.
The terrorists have challenged the bravery of the Iraqi people but they messed with the wrong people. The people have accepted the challenge; democracy and elections are not a luxury for Iraqis, it's an issue of life or death. And the terror brutal campaign has only made the people more determined to go on with the change.
The results of some recent polls that have shown how determined Iraqis are to hold the elections might have surprised you, but they weren't a surprise for us; we're not the kind of people that kneel to terror and the sights of blood and beheadings.
Saddam had tried all tools of oppression, killing and torture he could find against our people (including WMD's) but he failed to make the people believe in his hateful regime. And that's why the people abandoned him and now, he and his regime are just a bad old tale from the past.
On Sunday, the sun will rise on the land of Mesopotamia. I can't wait, the dream is becoming true and I will stand in front of the box to put my heart in it.

That is so huge as a message to the cowards.
You're an idiot.
... what he said !
They caught the guys who launched the rocket..3 in custody..They followed them some how(helicopter?).
The rocket path was tracked back to it's launch site and three perps and other info are already in custody.
Excellent!
Prayers for the safety of our folks in Iraq during this highly dangerous time.
Joining your Yippeeee! YES!!! 120mm rocket
Good morning.
Yeah, a 122mm more than likely.

Oh my. That is a thing of sheer beauty and has brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for posting it. I can't recall another time that there's been a rocket/mortar attack such as this and the perpetrators have been captured within a matter of hours. I'd say our guys are well prepared. Things are looking good for the dream to come true.
CBS news is reporting hundreds of Iraqi police and military uniforms are missing in Basra and are believed to be in the hands of insurgents. That could be ugly.
