Car boomers target Iraqi police, 12 dead
Two car bombs exploded Saturday at police stations in two towns near Baghdad, killing 12 people, all but one of them policemen. The first blast occurred in Baquba, about 35 miles northeast of Baghdad. Minutes later, the second blew up in Khan Bani Saad, a crowded market town about 12 miles south of Baqouba on the road to Baghdad. Lt. Hussein Hazem said six officers died in the Baqouba explosion, which left a large hole at the entrance to the building. He said at least 10 civilians were hurt. The explosion in Khan Bani Saad, which was carried out by a suicide driver, killed a 6-year-old girl and five policemen, according to Maj. Jabar Hussein of the local civil defense force.
A 6 year old. Fisk and the BBC did a lot of heart-rending stories on the child victims of "Mr. Bush’s war" (never "Mr. Hussein’s war," or the "war incited by Saddam’s faith in the fifth column media"). Don’t hold your breath for a similar story on this innocent baby, though. Dead children are no concern to the "peace" movement unless their broken bodies can serve as a propaganda club for beating down the anti-jihad forces.

The Iraqi police will do one of two things; they will either cave to the jihadis, or they will go completely medieval on them.

I'd say go midieval, but that would be bad for Iraq in the long run. They can also do the third thing, which is continue the way they've been going, which has been doing their jobs and methodically putting the Bad Guys away. That's what'll work best in the long run.
