Attacks targeting Iraqi forces kill 2, injure 20
2011-05-24
KIRKUK, Iraq — Two bomb blasts targeting security forces in different parts of Iraq Monday killed two people and wounded 20, underscoring Iraq’s instability, though the nation’s prime minister insisted that security forces have been mostly successful in curbing insurgent attacks.

Police said a car bomb killed two people and injured 10 in Kirkuk, a northern Iraqi city torn by ethnic tensions. Another bomb in Baghdad also wounded 10, including four Iraqi soldiers.

In Kirkuk, 180 miles (290 kilometers) north of the capital, police Col. Ghazi Mohammed Rashid said a car exploded as a security patrol was driving by. The blast killed two people who happened to be near the car when it blew up. Five police were among the 10 wounded.

A few hours later, the Baghdad car bomb exploded next to an army patrol in the northern Shiite neighborhood of Kazimiyah. A police officer and doctor at Kazimiyah hospital said six bystanders and four soldiers were wounded.

#1  Iraq is how big? Say, about as big as Texas? Something like that?
Full of Moslems, of course, but I hear it has so much Oil that you can get some simply by sticking a stick in the ground.

A country that big and you get 2 killed and 20 "injured"? ( and they were ALL Moslems).

2 ( count them) killed in a country that big. And that's news? It's obvious to me ( how about you?) that killing 2( count them) is not going to bring down the govt or impede progress to and from the local privy.

I would say that the opposition to the "security forces" was not up to strenuous exercise, wouldnt you? Maybe they are just laying around smoking the hookah most of the time. Cause their efforts arent very impressive. AND you get the suspicion that they arent very bold, daring and brave persons on a mean average. But then, they are Moslems.

Its their culture. Smoke a hookah, dont take chances or presume to be especially effective, pray five times a day, and then run away. Allahu Akbar.

AND down to the six bystanders out of the twenty, that means the other 14 didnt even come to the hospital for treatment. Cant win a war killing just 2 of the enemy in a country of how many million? The Moslem bomb makers seem to be rather lazy and unimaginative on the whole. They only wounded the soldiers and killed "bystanders". Yay team.
Well, I am sure Allah will be right on this one for HE is bountiful and just and compassionate and has a more stately nose than any infidel.
