Five car bombings struck across the Iraqi capital of Baghdad today, killing at least 127 and wounding another 519, the third massive coordinated attack on the city in the last half of the year.
The first attack struck a police patrol in the Dora district. Four other attacks occurred in a matter of minutes, all centered around official buildings. Analysts were quick to blame al-Qaeda for the attack.
Enormous attacks on official targets in Baghdad have happened every other month since August, each time followed by a flurry of arrests and promises of tightened security. Despite surrounding the capital with checkpoints and massive security forces, they seem unable to stop such attacks.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs condemned the bombing, but insisted that it proved the nation was moving in the right direction and that the attackers “are threatened by that.” Similar comments were made after the last couple of bombings which killed over 100 people. One must wonder, however, whether hundreds of civilian casualties are the best metric of progress.
A resistance force depends on the civilians for food and protection. They would not bomb and kill women and children. Who would hide them after that? I say it is the mossad trying to keep us there because they love and live for killing women and children.
I would rather say it's some Sunni nihilists aka "Al Qaeda in Iraq" trying to unsolder things again (well, things seem to be about as stable as two subcritical Uranium balls falling down the stairs anyway). No need to pull out the Israeli boogeyman. But do we have Saudis hanging around?
Hey hack I say it is the israelis because they live by the false flag. They are the only ones to gain FOR THE LONG RUN by keeping us there. I'll give you a multiple choice question: Who gains from us staying in iraq where we can attack arabs states at will? A – mongolians B- boy scouts C zimbabwe D gypsies E- the glee club F- the womans sewing club G- the israelis
so the "surge" is working really well?
Sounds liek blackwater needed to get rig of a bunch of explosives real quick. I heard that other countries have been trying to search a US embassy or embassies for explosives being used in these false flag terror attacks to justify a US presence and to divide and conquer the people.
I agree Chuck, also i think the Pentagon wont's back in the green zone.
