BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suspected car bomb ripped through a main police station in Baghdad on Tuesday, inflicting casualties, witnesses said.

In the latest guerrilla attack, two U.S. soldiers serving with a military police unit were killed when their vehicle hit an explosive device on one of Baghdad's main supply routes, a U.S. military spokeswoman said.

In Baghdad, witnesses said a large explosion targeted the Rasafa police station shortly after 11 a.m., starting a large fire and sending a cloud of black smoke into the sky.

6. An interesting slip of the keyboard

in this article from AP via NYTimes...

http://nytimes.com/reuters/international/international-iraq-blast.html

"U.S. officials blame attacks on occupying forces and other targets on supporters of Saddam Hussein, still thought to be on the run nearly five months after he was deposed. But they have also made increasing mention of the presence of al Qaeda and other foreign fighters."

I know, it's just a poorly constructed sentence...

8. "U.S. officials blame attacks on occupying forces ...."

so the Iraqi resistance is occupying their own country???

Or do these U.S. officials really think they own the country (in a way they do)

[NewYorkerfromMass]

9. The U.S. just blamed themselves

idiots.

Violence is met with violence. What's the big mystery?

7. Organized Iraqi Resistance against the US

This is not just SH and Baathist loyalists...

11. yes the resistance is organized alright

with fighters migrating in from various places. It seems the real combat has begun and with all the distrust in the air already has come the time wherein it will impossible to know who detonated what, where for what reasons. There are just so many flies in the ointment. Who is playing both sides against the middle. Who's in bed with who. It all will get murkier, but for those considered "authorities" on the subject. Obfiscation is the name of the game and corporation rule.
