Looks like it ended up being a much smaller loss of life. From 1 hour ago:

Three suicide bombers struck separate areas in Iraq on Tuesday, killing at least 27 people, police said.

Bad enough. Prayers that the number of deaths keeps low.

Al Qaeda’s idea of a surge: murder as many random victims as possible. This isn’t why they will win. This is why they must be stopped.

AQ is doing their job of supplying talking points to the Democrats in Congress about the report on the surge due in September. Expect a lot of terror attacks in the coming weeks. AQ can lose on the ground, but win in the press.

You are so right. We should write and thank the MSM and the leftist Senate cowards on behalf of jihadists everywhere. Oh, and the PS from the jihadists should be ...and be seeing ya soon, morons! Hooray for Jihad!

You exactly described the difference of thinking between a dem and a patriot.

We are half way through the month before “the report” and the civilian death toll is coming in at about a 30% decrease with the US troop death is equal to last month, a 9 month low, so the media is performing their own surge to pump up the numbers knowing that about half the civilian death toll can’t be confirmed.

Killing 27 Yazidis with 3 suicidal fuel tankers just means that the Yazidis said “No” to joining Al Qaeda, triggering said attack.

Killing 27 when their press release was to claim 250 killed just goes to show how much Al Qaeda depends on the news media...

BBC has it as 30

At least 30 people have been killed in a series of suicide bomb attacks carried out by insurgents across Iraq.
Most of them died in a co-ordinated series of blasts apparently targeting a Kurdish religious minority in north-western Iraq.

Ten others were killed when a bridge in northern Baghdad was destroyed by a suicide blast.

Al-Qaeda’s only survival is the media, which the media is more than happy to help, because they can’t win in the real war.

From the blog dispatch:

"Washington has no moral clout in Iraq. Washington looks like a circus act. The authority is coming from our military. The importance of this fact would be difficult to overstate."

Read THAT, Jack Murtha, you dirtbag.

But they managed to get out the headline of 175 dead so that is what people will believe. It even survives here on FR.

I smell another MSM faux news fiasco in the making. The vast inflation of casualties from an ominous source is more than suspect. There were at least 3 false reports by Reuters on Attacks in Iraq in the last two weeks.
Wait for US military confirmation.

Excellent dispatch. Love his dispatches. He really grabs you, brings you there, and holds you. His Deuce Four dispatches literally had me on the edge of my seat. With my mouth hanging open. And even as much as a girly-girl that I am at times, I was constantly saying, “So cool!”

Check this out; it's another reason why we'll prevail in Iraq. Marines really are different; they're made that way.
