Thirty-one American soldiers have been injured in northern Iraq when a car bomb exploded at an entrance to a US army base, the army says.
Apparently more attacks are feared, but then again that’s what happens in a war or am I missing something?
and it’s only looking increasingly grim:
WASHINGTON (NFTF.org) – There are now 130 daily attacks against coalition forces, with these forces only comprising one-third of the strength needed to fight the growing guerilla movement, reported The Scotsman.

What no deaths?
Actually 41 now, no one is dead unless is it’s well timed PR, first rule of this illegal invasion.
“Forty-one American soldiers are injured in northern Iraq in a car bomb attack at a US army base.”
And another one…

No, good news. The suicide bomber was killed, so no real loss.
Apparently the car blew up near the gates of the base, rather than near the buildings. No one was close enough to be killed by the blast, but flying glass and debries went everywhere.
I wonder how many soldiers are gonna get limbs amputed and be maimed for life after this one?
Freedom has a price. Better over there than here. I think we are pussy footing around. Time to bring ack the jews that were ousted from Baghdad by Djemel Pasha and set the record straight.
It’s 58 now…

58 is a huge number, amputated limbs or not. But still very small news on most websites....I wonder why? Whereas the plasric turkey that the monkey king served up hit the highs....but did very little in the PR stakes according to recent polls.
Just goes to show a plastic turkey can only get you so far.
Yet only the other week they were saying that the attacks had gone down to just 20 or 30 daily. Now they seem to have increased 6 fold, with even more deadly and sophisticated attacks.
I call it Iraqification in full swing… wana bet exit plans are already in the works also in full swing. from WMD to Al-Qaeda Links to liberation to rebuilding to face saver… Welcome to the real world.

TIME Interviews Dozens of Insurgents and Disgruntled Iraqis, Attends Resistance Meetings and Views Videotape of Attacks Against Coalition Forces Guerillas Trying to Drive U.S. Casualties So High That American Public Turns Against The War – ‘They Could Succeed,’ Pentagon Official Says
New York – U.S. intelligence experts now believe the Iraq insurgents are a volatile mix of groups and free-lancers who include loyalists of the former ruling Baath Party, Fedayeen militiamen, former Republican Guard and intelligence agents, foreign jihadis, professional terrorists, paid common criminals and disaffected Iraqis, TIME’s Brian Bennett and Michael Ware report from Iraq.

Frustrated by the lack of quick progress on the ground and fading political support at home, Washington is now latching on to the idea that a quick transfer of power to local troops and politicians would make things better. Or at any rate, it would lower American casualties. ** It was called Vietnamization; today it’s called Iraqification. And then as now, it is less a winning strategy than an exit strategy. ** 
At last someone shows up with the smilies in a thread on a car bombing, and injuries to Americans. I knew the smilies would only take a short rest.
