BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A huge explosion tore through a crowded market close to a Baghdad police headquarters building Tuesday, killing at least 47 people in the deadliest single attack in the capital in six months.
The U.S. army and Iraqi Interior Ministry said the blast was a car bomb attack on the police building in Haifa Street, a Baghdad area known as a haven for guerrillas and criminals.
The Health Ministry said 47 had been killed and 114 wounded.
In a separate attack in the restive town of Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, gunmen opened fire on a police minibus. The town's police chief said 12 people were killed.
The Interior Ministry and witnesses said there may have been at least two simultaneous car bomb blasts in the Baghdad attack. Witnesses said mortars may have been fired at the same time.
And round and round we go. Do you think we are turning the corner in Iraq yet?
Does your deadpan question suggest that we are not? Is this just more of the ongoing disloyal non-support of our Liberation of Iraq? Are you really going to ask who the so-called "insurgents" really are? Are you part of the Anti-US propaganda program supporting World Terrorism? Do you really have that much disrespect for this forum to wage this kind of inquiry?
well thanks Chuckster for sharing your opinion although I gather you would prefer that I did not.

Do you still beat your wife?
This is the strategy. We pretend we are a clueless, ineffectual, totaly disorganized and corrupt occupation power, and the resistance will get over confident, come out of hiding and show themselves; then we'll grab them.
That will work... right?
Does Chuckster have so much disrespect for this forum that you felt the need to post a political rant in this particular thread, clearly established in 'Food and Drink'?

Sorry dys, for the diversion, but I read the title of your thread & found myself singing the next line: and then we take Berlin!!
(OK, OK, I'll shut up now .... back to the discussion!)
msolga, you can always offer any thread a Cohen diversion (or anything else to your liking)
Exactly what happened to me Miss Olga . . .
A little song, by one a them Canajun terrorists . . .
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby ...
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I am guided
Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Set, actually the first time I heard that song was live in a club in San Diego where Cohen just showed up with a trio of back-up singers, sang that song and left. I was dumb-founded (normal condition for me)
I'da loved to have been there, and been really, really, really stoned . . . I have an album of Jennifer Warnes singing Leo Ceo songs . . . on First We Take Manhattan, there is a German language talk-radio program playing in the background, i remember them talking about the "arabischer gesselschaft" . . . just before Jennifer advises us that next we'll take Berlin . . .

Great minds think alike!
But it's a great song, ya have to admit it! I can understand how your first hearing left you gob smacked, dys. Very powerful.
But now it's stuck in my brain again! I'm going to be singing this in my sleep, soon ...
I had the pleasure of meeting him once, several years ago, when Mrs. cav was working in music publishing. He is not only brilliant, but a really nice guy as well.

yes. yes and no. no. no. no.
have a nice day......for once.
How does one "wage" an inquiry? Does one belabor the otherwise unoffending victim about the head and shoulders with said inquiry?
