Title: Bomb in the Green zone
Post by: muscleforlife on April 12, 2007, 07:05:16 PM
A bomb went off in the Iraqi parliment.
Which is in the Green Zone.

I hope this news knocks the BS Imus story out of the headlines.

It should.

They actually caught the bomber blowing himself up on tape.

An Iraqi parliamentarian was in the middle of a televised speech when "boom"!
...then you see debris flying all over the place. Talk about a "CAUGHT ON TAPE" moment.  :o

And the worse part of this was that it wasn't the lead story on the news.


Well, the Gov. of NJ was in a serious car accident.
Followed by an analysis of his injuries
Followed by  on site video of the accident site
Followed by the Imus firing
Followed by a dog being framed for biting another dog
Followed by the Iraqi bomb.

Yes, the priorities are straight with the "liberal" media

If it was the lead story, ...it might have given some people the mistaken impression that things aren't really as rosy, and as secure in Iraq as they are. I mean... people might start to wonder, ...if insurgents can easily penetrate parliament, how much of a target are our boys over there who are out in the "badlands"?

BTW - Wasn't the Green Zone the area Toxie was offered a job, ...and assured he'd be safe?
Isn't that supposed to be the best guarded & defended territory in Iraq?

Wow, if the insurgents can get to people there... I wonder what it's like elsewhere?
...apart from the amusement park of course... we all know that's all cotton candy & ice cream.

Incredible this is shown before a Green Zone compromise of this magnitude.
They mentioned the bombing maybe 5 times today on MSNBC.  But Imus has been breaking news nonstop all day.

And how.

The rest of Baghdad might be a dumping ground for corpses with drill holes in their hands. And don't even ask about, you know, the rest of the country. But the Green Zone - where the Americans sleep - would always be Mai Tais and Yahtzee - thanks to its being rimmed by every fucking gun they could find.

Yes, to at least that 0.002% of Iraq [10 sq km out of 438,000], we would have delivered the blessings of liberty.

But now one of those darned Islamofascists has gone and blown themselves up right there in the government cafeteria. And on lime Jell-O day too!  >:(

Did I mention that 3 Parliament members [think "Congressmen"] were among the dead?

Naturally, the American media are paying the bulk of its attention to the vastly more important matter of a radio personality losing his job. But believe me, the rest of the world will be shown this as the most painful humiliation of the American military in several decades.

I heard speculation that it might not have been one bomber, but actually explosives set in a number of strategic locations... to shoddy workmanship etc., All sorts of theories... but one thing is for sure... there are companies making a fortune here. As soon as they build something, someone is blowing it up, ...resulting in them having to build it again at American tax payer expense, and even more profits. The treasuries of 2 countries are being raped, pillaged, and plundered simultaneously.

i stand by my original belief that we are NOT trying to win the war.

Remember those 2 british soldiers who were captured in a car with bombmaking materials, then BROKEN OUT of prison, early in the iraqi conflict?  Lots of photos of their rescue team getting fcked up, including one unlucky guy in the tank.  They were creating terror to create a divide.  And it's still happening.

I'm beginning to smell doubt on you, mm69.

You continually reasure others that you keep them safe.  You didn't do this before.  You are now trying to convince yourself that you have an honorable purpose.  This self-doubt isn't good, bro.

No..Iraq is a 3rd world shithole...with oil..as long as the oil flows we'll be ok. I think winning and loosing changes weekly. I think if we fight Al sadr openly and win it would go along way to stopping some of the daily attacks. It depends on what kinda fight we have with him..the Marines crushed Falujha so if its like that it will help..if he continues to increase the insurgent like atacks then it will be more of the same slow bleed.

We lost it at the negotiation table.  Kissenger dropped the ball.  They negotiated because we began carpet bombing.

The end result:  we left and 2 years later a helicopter picked up the last Americans on the embassy.  We lost.

I had a guy come through my school last year, he originally signed up for the Marines in 1969 and after a stint in the Army guard he got out. Well after his wife died he decided to rejoin the guard for 2 years and finish so he could get retirement. I remember him saying that the war was fought much like Iraq. It had to many restrictions. All McNamarra wanted to do was hold the line between NV and SV and never really turned the military loose to truly perform it's mission. I think that there are people that think that we won in ways and lost in ways. But I definately see the same thing happening in Iraq, to many restrictions...

those guys cost a grand a day to have there.  They are experienced and good at what they do, and are hard to recruit and keep.

we have 160,000 folks there, and the average income would be what, under $50k?

If you suddenly had to pay every person there a nice $400k a year, your "cost of war labor" just went up about 800%.  Can't do that.
