News We’re Making Progress in Iraq

By bringing together Shiite and Sunni tribal leaders we’re making it, um, easier for insurgents to kill them.
A suicide bomber struck a U.S.-promoted reconciliation meeting of Shiite and Sunni tribal sheiks as they were washing their hands or sipping tea today, killing at least 15 people, including the city’s police chief, and wounding about 30 others.Two U.S. soldiers were also wounded in the 8:30 p.m. blast at a Shiite mosque in Baqouba, a former al-Qaida in Iraq stronghold about 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, according to U.S. and Iraqi officials, who gave the overall casualty toll.
The brazen attack, which bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida in Iraq, represented a major challenge to U.S. efforts to bring together Shiites and Sunnis here in Diyala province, scene of some of the bitterest fighting in Iraq.
They bombed a mosque. How completely retarded.

Hallmarks?
Don't be too frustrated with Iraq. Israel and America have airbases in place now to deal with Iran. That's success in itself.
Twenty years from now the small sacrifices we're making today will mean a stronger Israel. Nows the time for all Jews to keep Israel close to their heart and we fight wars in the middle east to make Israel stronger.
