WTF Is It Now?!?

Remember The Tet Offensive?
From the former quagmire comes a flood of sign of amazing progress and astonishing signs of normalcy from the middle east's new beacon of democracy on just another day in a peaceful Indiana market.

At least 175 people were killed and 200 were injured in four suicide bombings targeting an ancient religious sect in northern Iraq, the Iraqi army reported Tuesday. Elsewhere, an American transport helicopter crashed near an air base in Anbar, killing five U.S. servicemembers. Four more U.S. soldiers were reported killed in separate attacks — three in an explosion near their vehicle Monday in the northwestern Ninevah province and another who died of wounds from combat in western Baghdad.In a separate attack, a fifth suicide truck bomber struck a strategic bridge on the main highway linking Baghdad with the northern city of Mosul, killing at least 10, police said. The span was bombed three months ago and only one lane had reopened, according to the police officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

All due to al Qaeda inspired, affiliated and linked terrorists otherwise known as a fucking resistance movement to the American occupation. But the cost will be all worth we are told by Gen. George Casey, the former top commander in Iraq and now the Army Chief of Staff, who said at the National Press Club today: "In a decade or so, this will be a remarkable country, if we stick with it.”
