Another mortar attack in Baghdad, this time killing 3 American soldiers and wounding 31, according to the New York Times online story of April 6th. Our man in Baghdad, Maj. Gen. Jeffery Hammond, the top commander of U.S. forces in Baghdad, noted of the battle ''where we have criminal elements that are threatening the security and peace of the people of Iraq, we take action.” It’s mind-boggling that the country that invaded the place (that would be the US) is complaining about the locals taking up arms against us. Hasn’t out presence in Iraq become rather hopeless? In a few days time General Petreaus comes to tell the Congress what a splendid little war we have. Hasn’t it become obvious that this country cannot repair the pottery that was once Iraq and by staying is only creating more chaos? The time is long past for us to leave.
