Staying the course....

Always glad to see we have things under control in Baghdad, if not all of Iraq.


From the BBC.


Gunmen in the Iraqi capital Baghdad have killed at least 40 people at a fake police checkpoint, in an apparent sectarian attack against Sunni Muslims.

Later, at least 17 people died when two car bombs exploded near a Shia mosque in the capital, police said.

The death toll reports keep going higher before I can even post this.

And today’s New York Times reports
US Military Braces for Flurry of Criminal Cases
in Iraq.

No American serviceman has been executed since 1961. But in the past month, new cases in Iraq have led to charges against 12 American servicemen who may face the death penalty in connection with the killing of Iraqi civilians.

Some of the men under investigation in Iraq had done multiple tours in Iraq, and that, too, may have played a role.
