Mortars hit close to Maliki’s office in Green Zone.
Militants fired mortar rounds at the U.S.-guarded Green Zone this morning, “with five of them striking near the office of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and one crashing adjacent to the American post exchange store.” No casualties were reported. In a report released on June 5, the U.N. said that “insurgents had bombarded the Green Zone with rockets and mortar fire more than 80 times since March, reportedly killing at least 26 people.”

June 19th, 2007 at 1:44 pmGreat news! They are striking the Green Zone hard because the surge has been so successful. Yet more evidence of positive changes in Iraq! In just 50 years or so we should have the enemy contained and subdued just like North Korea!

This is great news! Mortar rounds hitting the Green Zone means we’re winning! Maybe we can extend the Korean Modelâ„¢ from fifty to a hundred years!
Liberal news media that reports on these mortars as if they were a bad thing want America to fail.
Mortar fire hits green zones at county fairs all across Indiana every summer.

June 19th, 2007 at 1:56 pmThe insurgency is in its last throes indeed.

No, the insurgents and al Qaeda are killing more Iraqis.
June 19th, 2007 at 2:27 pmWhich 40% of Baghdad is purportedly under control>?
June 19th, 2007 at 2:41 pmRUCerious sez:
It changes from day to day…different neighborhoods take turns.
June 19th, 2007 at 2:47 pmNo worries everything is going great in Iraq as the President said. We can believe the President as he would never lie. As he said MISSION ACOMMPLISHED. Everything you read about or hear is false Bush rules the world and will soon illegally invade Iran and other Middle East countries. He will spear no soldiers life in completing the job. If these go wrong it’s Clinton’s fault.
June 19th, 2007 at 3:08 pmJackie, that wasn’t a freudian slip “spear no soldier’s life”??
June 19th, 2007 at 3:16 pmSeems he’s speared over 3,000…
Are these mortars supplied by the US? or from US funding?
June 19th, 2007 at 4:06 pmWhat happens when you take a 40-year-old CIA memo on losing a war and replace the word “Vietnam†with the word “Iraq� The result is a set of conclusions that are just as true today.

No, that would probably be the Chinese or the Russians.
June 19th, 2007 at 4:39 pmHow long will it be before a situation similar to the Beirut suicide attack which killed hundreds of Marines occurs in Iraq?
June 19th, 2007 at 4:55 pmOf course, if it happens under President Hillary Clinton, it will all be her fault, right? Just like “Black Hawk Down” was all President Clinton’s fault even though Poppy Bush sent the soldiers to Somalia without a mission and all the Repub Congressman demanded that Clinton withdraw the troops from there.
Yup, it’s stay the course cause everything is going just swimmingly. Plod on ye Christian soldiers. There is no alternative. So sayeth the Lord Bush.
