"TIKRIT, Iraq (AP) -- A car bomb exploded near the police headquarters in the Iraqi city of Tikrit on Thursday, killing at least 10 people, witnesses said."

I am past the exasperation stage on this madness for lack of security. Just how in the hell do these cretin terr perps keep being able do this?

I have never witnessed such keystone (Iraqi) cops, they must operate with one thumb up their anus and the one in their mouth, only switching off occasionally for variety.

Either our training is abysmal, or they are non-learners doomed for continual Darwin awards in the hereafter.
