They "brought it on."
After President Idiot put his foot in it up to his chin yesterday, Reuters tell us that the "militarily insignificant" attacks continue: U.S. Soldier Killed, 20 Said Wounded in Iraq.
One U.S. soldier was killed and 19 were wounded in two attacks in central Iraq on Thursday night, while another was hurt in an explosion on Friday, the U.S. military and witnesses said.
A U.S. military spokesman said that in Thursday's attacks, a sniper shot dead one American soldier in Baghdad and 19 were wounded in an attack near the town of Balad, north of the capital.
Witnesses said at least one U.S. soldier was wounded on Friday when an explosion targeted a Humvee vehicle on the outskirts of Baghdad.
They said the 8.30 a.m. (0430 GMT) blast damaged the Humvee and an Iraqi civilian car. The soldier appeared to be lightly wounded, they said.
At least one dead American soldier a day. Every day.
Bush: "We have the force necessary to deal with the situation."
The attacks have continued despite a crackdown by U.S. troops in areas to the northeast and north of the capital, once a hotbed for Saddam loyalists.
Just what force would that be, Mr. Bush?
The situation in Iraq, caused by a lying, overreaching, incompetent Administration, has been bungled to the point that I am convinced it can no longer be salvaged. Even if someone competent were to take charge, there's not much he could do at this point. It's too late.
Time to bring our kids home. They don't want to be there and the Iraqis don't want them there. As long as they stay, at least one will come home every day, regardless.
In a body bag.
