Don't worry, we're winning, and they will reap the benefits of western democracy....or else.

To the north, eight of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani's bodyguards have been killed in an attack south of Kirkuk on a convoy of cars owned by Talabani.

Police said gunmen attacked a convoy of cars owned by the president, but Talabani wasn't in any of the vehicles. Investigators said 15 bodyguards were wounded. The cars were returning to Baghdad from Kurdistan

8 dead and 15 wounded bodyguards...this must have been a nasty firefight.

definitely. The Iraqi govt has to make clear when infiltrators are caught not only with they be publicly executed, but the perps will have to watch their entire family executed first. Incredible violence must be brought to bear against the terrorists and their supporters. It must be swift and brutal. The violence would decrease dramatically once these terrorist scum know their families will pay with their lives. It may be a brutal approach, but it will save more lives in the long run (including many of our brave Warriors)

That sounds like the way Saddam ran the country. But I agree.....there is a reason he was so brutal.

"Ken if this was an inside job someone feed the bad guys some bad info...they missed their target."

Well the target was a general one, a Presidential convoy, so I'm also convinced it was an 'inside job'. Story said the Iraqi President wasn't in any of the cars that were hit, which doesn't mean he wasn't in a car that was not hit.

It could also mean the man is smart enough to understand there are traitors around him, and hence often changes travel routes or plans decoys. Finally, it could also mean he was just damn lucky that day. But such a major attack against what was arragned to look like a Presidential convoy probably was no 'coincidence'.

They don't have to kill infiltrators' families. Just have all the males castrated, all the women sterilized and all their animals slaughtered and the meat offered as door prizes at their public beheading ceremonies!

I thought so. That whole "kill the family" thing gave you away.
