A pair of bombings tore through the municipal employees’ parking lot in the northern Baghdad town of Taji today, killing at least 36 people and wounding another 54. The attack was the latest in months of escalating strikes targeting Iraqi government and security targets.
The attacks involved a car bomb and an explosive charge planted at the parking garage. The detonation came during rush hour and ambulances struggled to reach the scene in a timely manner.
The latest attack was followed by a warning by top US commander General Lloyd Austin, who warned that the Iraqi government’s inability to foil the strikes might scare off international investment.
The attacks have been used by the Obama Administration to renew the press for the Iraqi government to allow them to continue with the occupation beyond December. Vice President Joe Biden is expected in Iraq soon to push for approval.
My first question.., where was Adolph Prince when that happened.., you know Ex or blackwater and other security firm as they are called and paid by Hillary Clinton from state department budgets…, your taxes…, second why is US eager to stay in Iraq.., being so aggressive in staying makes one wonder if such killings is not the US or English or for that matter paid terrorist groups job just for that reason.
Foreign investment-yes, just the thing. Look how much it has helped Greece, not to mention all the eastern European counries that thought the end of communism would bring prosperity. The USA has ruined Iraq, and now wants to profit from it through its corporations, just as it did in Russia when the USSR broke up. All these attacks are trying to remove the invaders. GO HOME YANK
Once again, the fact that things are bad under the occupation becomes the reason to continue the occupation. It's worked in Afghanistan, hasn't it?
The Iraq War…the gift we just keep on giving the Iraqis
How's that nation-building workin' out for ya?
Remember that old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?"
Can apply it here. And to Libya as well – for if these people thought their country was really that broken, they would have done something about it themselves.
Who wants to bet these bombings are being carried about by the many interested parties who would like the US continue this occupation indefinitely?
Certainly Iraqis are waiting with baited breath for us to GTFO of their country by now, after all the peace, freedom and democracy we brought them.
Who wants us to stay? Who has the ability to pull off these attacks?
