Iraq bombing

Nice steady, journalistic hand on the tiller there, Domenico.

I hardly think another bombing in Iraq (we broke it we own it) indicates anything is "coming off at the hinges". Is this dose of reality meant to 'inspire' the rabid right wing to decry that the sky is falling?

More facts, less angle would be prudent.

Did anyone on tv other than Keith Olbermann last night, report the truth? That George Bush, Dick Cheney and Tony Blair went looking for an excuse to go into Iraq. They are war criminals.

This is horrible news. Just horrible.

Yes, but Iraq had WMDs and ties to Al Qaida. We didn't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

Oh yeah, those were just Bush's lies.

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Don't look now, but an AP wire just crossed that shows, "At least 56 killed, 104 wounded in bombing in Baghdad's main Shiite district," per Iraqi officials.

Did we expect anything else? I didn't. We are at war. Iran is experiencing problems that directly affect what is happening in Baghdad. The troops still need to be withdrawn. This is a ploy and even I see through it.

I too saw it and you are right. Our troops still need to come home.

"There really are so many moving parts in the early months of this Obama presidency. They all seem to have a feeling of either all working out -- or coming off at the hinges."

Too bad Obama is has given up in Iraq. He's moving the troops out asap. All the work, all the lives lost, all down the drain. I guess Harry Reid was right, America has lost the war in Iraq. Harry's words now look to be ahead of his time. The only thing Harry got wrong was who the President would be when we lost. Harry thought it was Bush, turns out it's Obama.

The Iraqis have to solve they own issues. There will be blood in their streets for years to come. The troops will come home. If you want to complaign, then write a letter or email to Darth-Dubya. It's their mess that the President inherited.

Let us remember what terrorists do. They blow themselves up along with innocents to make people afraid. This new violence is a tactic. Think strategy!

At some point they will tire of their self-destruction and a democracy will emerge. There is little more we can do to help them.

On HB there was a call between Tricky Dick and Bob Hope from 1973 where Nixon was so happy that he got some POWs released "with honor". He felt he had won the war. Fast forward to 1975, the fall of Saigon, Ops.

There is nothing to win in Iraq except the gratitude of the families of our troops after their loved ones return from that quagmire.
