Iraqis are still reeling from the latest in a long line of massive suicide attacks today, after a pre-dawn attack on a Baghdad Army Recruitment center left at least 61 killed and 125 others wounded.
The attack has sparked public condemnation, not so much against the militants but against the Iraqi Army, which promises massive security gains but can’t even protect its own recruitment centers.
“We were promised security in this country, but we were cheated,” one local was quoted as saying. Others expressed frustration at the “empty” promises of the government security forces.
July was the deadliest month in over two years in Iraq, and violence has been increasing more or less steadily throughout the year. Despite the massive death tolls US officials shrugged off today’s killings and insisted that “progress” was being made.
It is absurd from American officials to note progress. They use policy as a criterion on success. So when policy says withdraw troops, no facts appears to the changed-into-a-robot official. But think about it: What kind of society emerges from robot-control? One effect is clear: the diminishing of human life. Spontanity, fantasy, change, invention DOWN the drain.
For God's sake, isn't it obvious that others besides so-called alquaeda or other militants are killing these police and or army recruits? Ever think about our own mercenaries causing these atrocities? Ever think about the fact that the US governrment has no intention of leaving and may well be responsible for most of these killings? Ever think that the first thing necessary to guarantee continued occupation, is the killing of the very people we are "training" to take care of security in Iraq.
Continued occupation in Iraq can only bring about more deaths of people who simply want the US to go home, as well as other hangers on.
The entire situation is so pathetic.
The Iraqis can take care of themselves and their own security. The do not need the US.
These attacks are starting to intimidate people from becoming an army, I guess. They targeted new recruits. And as for the security, it just shows that Iraq is still incapable of handling themselves if the US totally pulls out of the country.

Many foreign press are reporting that this suicide bomber was a blond haired youth and some that he was a foreigner…some add that he was wearing an army uniform. The western msm is not reporting these details. Does anyone have more info? The reports claim that his body was recovered(without legs) after the bomb.
