BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Four Bulgarian soldiers were killed and many other people were wounded in several bomb attacks on a military base and government buildings in southern Iraq (news - web sites), Polish defense officials said on Saturday.



"We know that in Kerbala...there were multiple attacks, (positions of) two coalition forces were attacked, also the university, city hall and the police station," a spokesman for Polish-led troops in the region said.


"Among coalition forces we have about 20 casualties but we don't know the nationalities, or how many dead or wounded," he told Reuters. "We know nothing about civilian casualties."


Earlier, a defense ministry spokesman in Warsaw said that four Bulgarian soldiers had been killed in a mortar attack on their base in Kerbala.

3. There is a "turning back"...of a sort...

1) Go before the U.N. and declare that we were wrong to go into Iraq.
2) Admit we lied to get others to go with us.
3)Plead for help from the world community to help us right the mess we have made.
4)Agree to completely pay for the clean-up.

Now, do I expect even one of the abov e listed items to come about? Hardly.

4. war = peace?

Sorry but this is a fucking no-win situation we are in thanks to the moran in chief. There will be no peace in Iraq until the occupiers are gone. Though with the way was this was handled the most likely scenario is civil war. Thanks dimbulb....

7. "win the peace" by bombing, killing, stormtrooping, meddling?

somehow I fail to make the logical connection you so mysteriously see. after scanning the posts you've authored I guess I know why you come to this most illogical conclusion. may you enjoy your brief stay in the land of the sane.

8. Listen friend. That is the exact line of BS that I heard about Vietnam

Just the country and the opponent is different. Problem is the opponent in both wars were fighting for their country, while we were fighting to dominate them. The Iraqis just like the Vietnamese have no place to go. We do. And we will. We just need to find out how many names that will be on the Iraqi War Memorial in Washington, D.C. after it is built in years to come.

9. We did not take the plunge, Bush wanted to bomb.

So using our taxes to obtain bombs, Bush invaded. Now using our taxes, he wants to reward his cronies with lucrative contracts.

10. Surely the capture of Saddam

has demoralized the insurgents and destroyed their networks!!!!

Jeez, can't imagine the situation any better or worst with troops there...if anything the coalition co-ordinates the attacks by their very presence

13. You're absolutely right.

Cutting and running would distabalize the entire Middle East and probably lead to a terrorist breeding ground. The war was/is an very unpopular gig and folks tend to get a little trigger happy / Nothing personal.

But you want real testy, you should check out the I/P forum.

14. And the US is to blame for the entire debacle....

Like a spoiled child, they go and do what they please...fuck it up
bad and then expect to have the adults clean up after them. :eyes:
