1. Why can't we have a real president?

I mean, jeezus keerist. When Clinton was in office he made it a priority to work this thing and there were very very few bombings.

Six months after Smirk takes office the world begins going up in flames.

3. We do have a real president!

One that "restored honor and dignity to the WH." Of course, he also ruined the peace and prosperity he inherited from his "scandal-plagued" predecessor, but that's not the point! :evilgrin:

2. I think this is at least the second one today? n/t

4. Not sure... here's a link to the last car bombing thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=105134

I've got CNN on now, and haven't seen an additional report of a new car bomb attack. For now, until we can clear this up, I'll leave this thread open. There's no mention in the above-linked thread about the city of Erbil.

Anyone care to jump in here and clear the record?

Thanks!

11. That seems to be right. I hope there isn't some kind of climactic buildup

to something big on 9/11.

9. Dupe... locking

On edit, this does appear to refer to greenwire's thread below.

Until this matter is resolved, let's lock this thread and keep our discussion about the second car bombing consolidated into this thread, by grasswire:

Here also is NNN0LHI's thread about the Kirkuk bombing (bombing #1 of today?):

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=105177

Isn't it sad that it's difficult to tell the difference, as the bombings are coming so fast and furiously, today, especially?

Thanks,

8. I just now discovered this one...

12. An article posted in that thread says

"Authorities in Irbil, the administrative capital of Kurdish-controlled northern Iraq about 200 miles north of Baghdad, called to residents over loudspeakers to donate blood for the wounded, CNN-Turk said."

So i'm guessing probably same.

tally so far today (I think)

Iraq:
1. powerline Kirkuk stoping water supply because electric driven pumping station
2. bomb Northern Iraq, Irbil

Israel:
1. outside military base few hours ago
2. cafe in Jerusalem


Getting to be difficult to keep up with things.
