President Bush ; The news just keeps getting worse . .

The fact that insurgents were able to penetrate the Green Zone could present a serious setback to the Bush administration's campaign to pacify postwar Iraq.

Why does NamVet hate America? Don't you know, Andrew, that freedom is on the march! Any time you hear or read anything which indicates things are not going exactly as Mr Bush says, I want you to click your heels together three times and say: "Freedom is on the march." It won't change a thing in the real world, but the lobotomizing effect will help you vote Republican in November.

Unfortunately, I can believe it.

NamVet4, Carmelo, Spence, and BRAVEONAWARPATH ... your names have been passed along to the proper authorities. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Last month when the Financial Times reported that the U.S. military was quietly warning people they could no longer guarantee the safety of the Green Zone [that's the bubble inside Baghdad with extra-tight security and populated mostly with westerners], I posted it here because I thought it was big news. An attack in the Green Zone, I've long thought, would be a terrible blow to our efforts to rebuild Iraq and guarantee some semblance of basic security in the country. Now it has happened:Insurgents penetrated Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone and detonated explosives at a market and a popular cafe, killing 10 people, including four Americans, in the first bombings inside the compound housing the U.S. and Iraqi government headquarters. A top Iraqi official said the attacks appeared to have been suicide bombings. Tawhid and Jihad, the militant group of Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claimed responsibility.

The four Americans killed in the Green Zone were contract workers for the private U.S. security firm DynCorp, two U.S. officials said. Two State Department officials were injured, neither critically, along with another employee of the company, in the market blast. Several Americans were injured in the blast in the cafe.

Two U.S. soldiers were killed in Baghdad, one in a roadside bombing in the morning and the second in a shooting in the afternoon, the military said.Source (http://www.boston.com/dailynews/288/world/The_latest_developments_in_IraP.shtml)

The only way the Bush admin could get most westerners to stay in Iraq was by guaranteeing them the safety of the Green Zone, which is full of American amenities, like a Pizza Hut. Now that the safety has been shattered, don't be surprised if we don't see an exodus of foreigners leaving Iraq. If the Green Zone isn't safe, no place in Iraq is safe.
