"What happened to the 122mm rocket fired from 15 miles away? Huh? How can the military be so specific about the munition used yesterday and now come out with "suicide bomber". Doesn't make sense, we need a source before I'm buying this bomber story.

Then a bunker would have made the bomb far more effective by concentrating the blast within it.

The Vietcong did this kind of crap. Worked at the PX in the day; set charges at night.That was the reason we did NOT have local hire KP's in the boonies. I always felt uneasy when in base camp and had Vietnamese KP's and other workers around me. The really scary ones were the barbers with a straight razor in their hands.

Explain to me again why it was wrong for that Marine to kill the wounded man who was recently firing at us ?Would the Marine have conducted his "Mercy Killing" if the wounded man had been a fellow Marine?
That's why.
Let those SOBs all die excruciating painful deaths.

When I read the Chaplain's report about the attack he mentioned that many people were injured by pellets..
I was thinking the same thing. There were mortars/rockets fired ...but it seems this was a well-coordinated attack- and a suicide bomber was part of it.
To find turncoats in the ranks isn't surprising- my son said last year when he was in Mosul the same people that "worked with us during the day would shoot at us the same night"...
At any rate there will be a press conference later today with DoD...maybe they'll have it cleared up by then. They've sealed Mosul- closed the bridges and imposed a curfew- doing door-to-doors etc.

Just heard on the radio the bomber started working there 2 months ago!
To: michigander
Now that they've succeeded, they may well try it again and again. Just waiting for a Beirut style barracks bombing...I hope not. But one wonders how much longer we have to stay in that middle east shitpit ...almost thinking we should give 'em three more months and their lousy election to straighten things out and treat us with respect as their liberations, and if not, well, then, get the heck out and let them all kill each other off, putting women back in burkas, whatever. tired of our young American boys dying right and left...even in a month when the brillian Whiz Kid Pentagon planners two years ago had us, at least on paper, as finally leaving Iraq...

That wasn't a "mercy killing." That marine lost a friend the day before to a dying terrorist blowing himself up.

they will say, how could we let our troops stay vulnerable to a suicide terrorist attack... oh krap - we didn't mean to say terrorist, we meant "insurgent resistance"... (that's how it seems some days)
To: massgopguy
Maybe the AP wants the contract? I'm sure they are well equipped to feed the men...AP is incapable of objective reporting.

More (same link as 33) ...
"A day after the devastating attack, another message allegedly posted on a Web site by Ansar al-Sunnah provided details of the daring attack. According to the online message, the suicide bomber was a 24-year-old man from Mosul who worked at the base in Mosul for two months and had provided information about the base to the group. "
