Note who on the opposition is using this as an excuse to attack our war efforts. Is XXX42 still on the road selling out the US military to current leaders of anti-Coalition nations?

Yes and no -- because this was the UN, it rattled their cage a lot. They'll stay straight until they figure out that they can go after the Administration and blame Bush for it.

The coverage is already turning negative on the cable news channels. IMO, Fox has been the worst followed closely by the others.

Thank you for the information. I would imagine that they were or are at military headquarters. Seems logical.

I heard the most lucid commentary of the UN being foolish to assume it wouldn't be targeted by terrorists on Fox. Regardless of Nadler, their coverage hasn't been odious.

With no military to protect that building .. it was a soft target. They can't blame Bush for this

It's getting to the point where the Arab muslims have really earned our contempt. Other Nations with the power we have would do something to end it once and for all, I'm not advocating this, but at certain moments a person can think like that.

I am.

Of course they can--and they will. They'll probably blame him for playing golf before the blast went off.

UN: Members of the Council reaffirm that this attack will not affect the mission and members of the Council will state united to help the Iraqi people stabilize their country.

The mission in Iraq has been established by the Security Council and we are on a mission of peace for the reconstruction of the country. It is all the more shocking that this attack occurred.

Why? Unless they knew they were protected by the powers that be?

Hundreds of Iraqi U.N. folks injured.

Remember, U.N. jobs went to Ba'athist party loyalists and other Saddam buddies - not to the oppressed, starving Iraqis.

Welcome, SAM. I expect we'll learn much useful info about our opponents today - both foreign and domestic.

I think the posters of 'Saddam as Zsa Zsa' could have inspired this attack. Desperate people, inflamed with hatred, without a future emerging from their caves - and fewer of them every day.

Our troops shine under pressure, don't they?
