Four U.S. soldiers wounded in Baghdad vehicle blast
http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L04443266.htm

BAGHDAD, June 4 (Reuters) - Four U.S. soldiers were wounded on Friday when their vehicle was attacked as it drove through Baghdad, a U.S. military spokesman said.

Flames and smoke engulfed the wreckage of the Humvee vehicle as other U.S. troops cordoned off the scene and evacuated the wounded, Reuters reporters at the scene said.

"Four Task Force Baghdad soldiers were wounded when the vehicle they were riding in was struck by an explosion," said Lieutenant-Colonel James Hutton, spokesman for the 1st Cavalry Division, which is based in Baghdad.

Local witnesses said militants had fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the vehicle as it drove along a dual carriageway surrounded by open ground in eastern Baghdad, employing one of the weapons of choice for Iraqi insurgents.

shut up, "we get it" doesn't actually "get it". If a serial killer is stalking your town, you don't tell people to "shut up, we get it"! This is what we have here - a president who is a serial mass murderer! Fuck it, I'll say it every goddamned day!

5. ME TOO
I attempt to point out every time (tastefully) this happens that the KING has No Clothes.

But as a serial killer I would compare the CHIMPANZEE to the late great Charles Daumer

13. Saw this on the news
The protesters were really kicking ass.

It looked like most of the police were standing around and just watching the fun.
