RAMADI, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Two suicide car bombers exploded on Friday outside two U.S. bases in central Ramadi, the capital of Iraq's volatile Anbar province, Iraqi police said.

Captain Ahmed Ali said he had no word on any injuries. Ali said one bomber, driving a truck, rammed the gates of a former government building that now houses U.S. troops. A second, driving a car, attacked a U.S. base in a former football club.

The U.S. military said it was checking the report.

U.S. forces have struggled to contain violence in Ramadi and take back the city from Sunni insurgents. Most U.S. deaths in Iraq occur in Anbar province, heartland of the insurgency.

Ali said the car bombings followed clashes between U.S. forces and gunmen in central Ramadi earlier in the day.

My worst, very worst, fear is that when the Green Zone finally falls, and the last few hundred of our soldiers give their lives for this monstrosity, the American people will be so tired of the politics that it will hardly even register on the public conscience.
