Editorial Comment: Wow who would have guessed it we now have a Muslim killing Muslim thingy going on. What are the odds, that the Ineptner-in-Chief will reverse course and bring troops now stationed in Kuwait back into the battle or move additional troops from states side. Did you really have to tell the enemy when you pull out deadline was? Don’t worry about it, the New York Times would have. You are unfit for Command and must resign. Officers swear an oath to the Constitution, not to the president. Enlisted personnel swear an oath to both.



You are in a big bind “skippy”, Officers will not give illegal orders for enlisted men to follow. While you were reading the Communist Manifesto, they studied the war crimes hearings of the Nazis at Nuremberg. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C.









Look for these types of attacks to occur much more often now that we’re out of there. Just a few days ago, we talked about the Iranian implication in the region now that the US is in a non-combat role and how they will do everything they can to keep Iraq destabilized as long as possible starting with sending the Iranian “Zarqawi” back to Iraq to resume his terrorist activities.





Devastating series of attacks across Iraq kill 55



Bombers and gunmen killed 55 Iraqis in nearly two dozen attacks spanning the country Wednesday, mostly targeting security forces in seemingly coordinated strikes the day after the number of U.S. troops fell below 50,000 for the first time since the start of the war.



Insurgents have been stepping up their attacks on Iraq’s security forces in recent months as the U.S. has trimmed its military presence in the country. At least half of those killed — 30 — were Iraqi soldiers and policemen.



There were no claims of responsibility for the spate of attacks. But their scale and reach, from one end of the country to the other, underscored insurgent efforts to prove their might against security forces and political leaders who are charged with the day-to-day running and stability of Iraq.



The deadliest attack came in Kut, 100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of Baghdad, where a suicide bomber blew up a car inside a security barrier between a police station and the provincial government’s headquarters. Police and hospital officials said 19 people were killed, 15 of them policemen. An estimated 90 people were wounded.
