WTF Is It Now?!?

US hawk Wolfowitz tours Saddam's hometown as Iraq sees more violence
'US troop death toll mounts and innocent Iraqi civilians are increasingly the target of attack'

BAGHDAD, Oct 25 (AFP) - Members of a Kurdish martial arms team were wounded in an attack Saturday near the northern oil centre of Kirkuk as visiting US Deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz hailed US efforts to build a strong Iraqi security force in a country still plagued with daily bloodshed.

Four blasts shook the US military in what police described as a mortar attack. US forces returned fire, but it was not clear if there were casualties.

A bomb also exploded outside Kirkuk province's main government office, while police found an arms cache inside an amusement park adjoining a police station.

In Baghdad, three US soldiers were wounded in an improvised explosive attack Saturday morning, a military spokesman said.

Yeah, things are going splendidly over there!
