| Another tough day on the battlefront. BAGHDAD — A homicide bomber wearing an explosive belt blew himself up inside a coffee shop east of Baghdad on Wednesday morning, killing 15 people, police and medical sources said, while the U.S. military said seven soldiers died in attacks. The blast hit a restaurant in Mandali, on the Iranian border 60 miles east of Baghdad. Unusual target location. I suspect there's something more to this story. Elsewhere across Iraq, roadside bombings and gunbattles killed seven U.S. soldiers and two Marines, the U.S. military said Wednesday. In the deadliest incident, three Multinational Division-Center soldiers were killed and two wounded when their patrol was hit by a series of roadside bombs Tuesday, the military said in a statement. The statement did not say where the attack, which also wounded an interpreter, happened. Two Task Force-Lightning soldiers were killed in Baghdad Province when an explosion blew up near their vehicle on Tuesday, the military said. Another three soldiers were wounded in the incident. Two U.S. Marines assigned to Multinational Forces-West were also killed Tuesday in combat operations in the Sunni-dominated Anbar province, the military said. |

| #8 The troll and its dark age cult are pathetic tools of the western media-industrial complex and its depraved elitism. They do the heavy lifting, the killing and dying, while the likes of Mike Al-Moor, Rosie Al-Donut, and Noam Chomsky laugh all the way to the bank. |

| #5 Poor Justice. There he goes showing off his ignorance again, as if it were something to be proud of. And he fancies himself an academic! Ah well, two more egregious errors added to his list won't move his mean so much as a per centum. (We won't even address the problems in the English college system suggested by the fact that the poor man doesn't understand the proper useage of quotation marks, or the capitalization of proper nouns. That would be too cruel.) |

| #3 Every time I see the headline here that a soldier was killed I mourn. May they find rest with the Lord after a job well-done. |
