BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Insurgents fired rockets from an apartment house Tuesday toward a police station and other buildings in central Baghdad, triggering huge explosions and wounding at least one American soldier, witnesses and officials said.

The rockets missed the police station but hit another building and a parking lot. Hassan Joma, an Iraqi anti-terror official, said two U.S. soldiers on the roof of the building were wounded.

Police sealed off nearby Saadoun Street, which includes the square where the statue of Saddam Hussein was hauled down April 9, 2003.

1. The speech was what every Iraqi wanted to hear...

...really, seriously...

Hangers-on and pockets of resistance...

Handover of power on June 30th, but US troops to remain, untouched by the foibles of law, for, well, as long as we think we should...

2. Just a few dead enders, Saddam loyalists

Please ignore polls showing 82% of Iraqis want the U. S. out of Iraq now. We are there to help the 12% attain representative democracy.
