Guest Sid9 Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 July 18, 2007 Bombs Kill 11 in Eastern Baghdad By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 6:28 a.m. ET BAGHDAD (AP) -- A series of roadside bombs exploded early Wednesday in separate areas of east Baghdad, killing 11 people and wounding more than a dozen, police said. The U.S. military reported three more American soldiers had died in action in the Iraqi capital. The first blast occurred about 7:30 a.m. near the Dhubat neighborhood, killing four civilians and wounding seven others, police said. Two more blasts occurred two minutes apart in another area of eastern Baghdad, killing seven people and wounding seven, police said. The dead included two traffic policemen and five civilians, police said. The policemen spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information. The three American soldiers were killed Tuesday in separate bombings in the capital, the U.S. command said. Two were killed in west Baghdad and another died in an east Baghdad bombing, the military said. Four other Americans were wounded in the east Baghdad blast, the command said. Two insurgents responsible for the attack were killed, the statement added. Those latest military deaths occurred as the U.S. Senate was in an all-night session. Democratic leaders conceded they were unlikely to gain the votes needed to advance troop withdrawal legislation blocked by Republicans. Meanwhile, dozens of Baghdad residents joined a protest Wednesday in Firdous Square in central Baghdad to demand the government improve security and public services. The demonstrators held Iraqi flags and banners, urging authorities to ''stop mocking us'' and to make its only goal ''the protection of Iraqis.'' ''Our demands are not big ones. We need security, electricity and water,'' said Sheik Nihad al-Sharqawi. ''The government has to ensure happiness and prosperity to every Iraqi citizen. Otherwise, it should step down.'' The U.S. military has stepped up the pace of operations in recent weeks, hoping to drive Sunni and Shiite extremists from sanctuaries in and around Baghdad as they scramble to train enough Iraqi security forces to prevent the gunmen from regrouping. On Tuesday, American soldiers backed by tanks, helicopters and at least one F-16 jetfighter rolled into the eastern part of Baqouba, the capital of Diyala province, to drive al-Qaida in Iraq and other insurgents from the city. Gunfire could be heard Tuesday in the main market district, and Sunni imams in four mosques used loudspeakers to call on their followers to fight the Americans, residents said by telephone. They spoke on condition of anonymity over fears for their safety. U.S. and Iraqi forces seized the western part of Baqouba last month and had been expected to mount a major offensive to drive al-Qaida in Iraq and other insurgents from the rest of the city, 35 miles north of Baghdad. The Islamic State of Iraq, a front group for al-Qaida in Iraq, has declared Baqouba as its capital. Sunni extremists were believed to be moving out of Baqouba in anticipation of a U.S. attack, seeking shelter with friendly tribes to the north and east. Elsewhere in Diyala, police Col. Ragheb Radhi al-Omairi said 29 members of a Shiite tribe were massacred late Monday when dozens of suspected Sunni gunmen raided their village near Muqdadiyah, about 20 miles northeast of Baqouba. The dead included four women, al-Omairi said. The attackers rode into the village in several cars and trucks about midnight. Some of them were dressed in military clothing, police said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose information. The massacre lasted about a half hour, according to al-Omairi. A provincial medical official said the bodies were taken to a clinic in Balad Ruz to be handed over to their families for burial. He spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear for his safety. Quote

Guest Sid9 Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 "Moral" support doesn't mean a thing when our leadership is so incompetent they attack the wrong country and then mismanage everything that can be mismanaged. Time to back out, get new leadership, regroup, and plan correctly. bush,jr never had America's support for his adventure. If he did he would have instituted a draft, stopped auto production in favor of production of military vehicles, instututed gasoline rationing and a thousand other measures for a country at war. He knew he had no support He didn't have the balls to ask for it. Inside, bush,jr, loser and incompetent, is a coward. Go Mavz wrote: > Absolutely we do not.
