It was near Anbar east "frontier" with Baghdad province, wounded was arlifted straight to CSH Baghdad so place of attack, although in Anbar province was closer to Baghdad than Ramadi

US sources thinks it was either Iranian or Syrian "design"
But maybe it was "homemade", who knows ...
Ps. It was disguised as a part of roadside wall

Really, the insurgents are only giving the US military a hard time, if you can even consider it a hard time, because the US can not wage a war on the civilian population. If the US faced an actual convention army, I have no doubt that our military would utterly destroy it. Case in point, Desert Storm

It's funny how the conservatives use terms like 'liberal' and 'leftist' as if they are an insult, when those who people they are directing at think of such titles as something of a badge of honor.

I think 'conservative' is the biggest insult you can give anyone, it means: racism, reactionism, xenophobia, ultranationalism, militarism etc etc.

They are. And since this is a polite forum we refrain from calling you commies other appropriate but equally disparaging names.

Obama doesn't like to be called a liberal. So I will oblige him and call him a commu-fascist.

Badge of honor: Soviet Genocide



Badge of honor: Unkranian Genocide



Badge of honour: Armenian Genocide



Badge of honour: Kurdistan Genocide



I would like to thank my mum and my dad aswell as socialism and communism and all my liberal friends.

The hundreds of millions of deaths of the 20th century make me proud to call myself a leftist!

Even by your own dubious standards which include Stalinist capitalism as 'leftist', even by those standards it makes no sense. Also the Kurdistan genocide was committed by Saddam, who was an Arab nationalist and downright fascist, he was FAR-RIGHT.

And while we are at it, why don't we look at the REAL crimes, those of capitalism. Capitalism has killed approximately 147 million people between 1500 and 1997.This includes 70 million Indians during the colonization of the Americas, 10 million due to slavery, 10 million due to World War I, 50 million due to World War II, 3 million due to the Vietnam War, and 1 million due to the Biafra War.

For example, in Mozambique, Renamo, a far-right capitalist organization, was organized by the CIA and the security services of South Africa, massacred and starved 900,000 villagers since 1980. The goal: prevent Mozambique from becoming an independent country with a socialist direction. But these 900,000 deaths are a non-fact: no-one talks about them.

You sir are a hypocrite.

Yes, while you liberals hide behind words like 'enlightened' and 'progressive'.

A commie by any other name is still a commie.
