#1 More from the Guardian, 1:00 AM EST:

The U.S. military command reported 35 dead and 75 wounded but said those figures could be low since Iraqi authorities were handling the investigation. The Iraqi Interior Ministry said 40 to 50 people were killed and up to 100 wounded, including four policemen.

However, a local hospital director, Razaq Jabbar, put the number at 53 dead and 60 wounded - all believed to be Iraqis. ``This figure might increase,'' he said. ``There were some body parts that haven't been identified yet. Some more bodies may be trapped under the rubble.''

#3 DPA, yep. Welcome to Day 2 of Al Q's effort to kick-start the Iraqi Civil War.
Those poor good Iraqis who were killed today and yesterday: God rest them.

#5 They could start with Alley Oop, who invented fire, then follow up with Alfred Nobel for the dynamite and either Nickolaus Otto or Rudolf Diesel for the automobile motor that brung 'em, then Kiichiro Toyoda for the actual vehicle... A Neanderthal, a Swede, a coupla Germans, a Japanese... Yep, definitely Bush's fault. Burn 'im.

#6 A Neanderthal pretty harsh, I prefer to think of Alley Oop as an Archao-American.

#7 Cue up Anonymous...oh, he's ANTIWAR now, dum dada duuummmmm!

I feel bad for the poor Iraqi's who want nothing more than to build their country into a prosperous place for their kids to grow up in. But they have to face the twin evils of the Islamicists AND pandering of our own LLL.

#8 I thought this was the same attack as yesterday, but looking at the comments I gather this is an entirely new one. From what I saw on the news yesterday, it appears that they also attacked Iraqis waiting in line to apply for jobs. The only thing I can hope for is for more civilians to start pointing out the asshats in the country. I want to say I can't believe they are attacking the civilians like this, but then again, these people are not human at all.

#9 UP to 25 Iraqis were killed early Wednesday in a car bomb explosion outside a recruiting station for the New Iraqi Army in Baghdad, the US military said.

As if more proof was needed that insurgents are NOT friends of the common Iraqi. A damned shame that innocent people end up paying with their lives as a result.
