Heard this on the radio at work about a half-hour ago, just shows how sad the state of affairs are in Iraq.

From Here.

Amid the ongoing violence, the United States is looking to move some of its 37,000 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea (news - web sites) to bolster forces in Iraq

Goody.

Makes the question bigger, to who the U.S. want to give government on day X. Or if there is anyone left willing to get the power then.

Truer words were never spoken.

I hate to be whoever replaces this guy, since you know he's going to be targeted too. It might become like those old comedy westerns: no one wants to be the sherrif, cause they fear for their lives, they'd sooner shoot themselves in the foot than put on the badge. Of course, there is nothing funny about this cluster fuck. Just sad.

Is it me or do these "Iraqi" insurgents (quotes because I believe most of the fucktards are foreigners with no business crawling out from their Stone Age caves, much less going to Iraq) want nothing to do with anything involving peace and goodwill toward their fellow man?

Not very surprising. The civilian leadership makes no attempt to abstain from patterns, so the fellow likely took the same routes at the same times to work over and over again. Made it easy for insurgents to determine when and where to send him to Allah.

Oh, and the presidency there is on a rotating basis, so guess it's time for a new one.

Whether they want it to be or not, Apparently. Damned geniuses.

Presidential elections on the one way ticket.

Didn't Osama promise 10kg of gold for the guy's head?

If so, then somebody just became quite wealthy, assuming Osama keeps his end of the deal.
