BAGHDAD, March 29 -- Iraqi insurgents are increasingly hitting Baghdad's fortresslike Green Zone with rockets and mortar shells, officials said Wednesday.

Insurgents have struck inside the Green Zone, which includes the U.S. Embassy, on six of the past seven days, once with deadly consequences. A U.S. soldier and a U.S. government contractor were killed Tuesday night by a rocket attack that also seriously wounded a civilian, military and embassy officials said. One soldier and at least three other civilians received minor injuries, U.S. Embassy spokesman Lou Fintor said.

The attack stunned a workforce normally blase about Baghdad's habitual wartime booms and blasts.

A State Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity, also said, "There are increasing attacks on the embassy

Attacks up on the green sector, increases use of mortars and missiles and yet we still hear from the right that the surge is working? Shoot Bush is now quoting blogs to try and bolster his case....what a joke.

I say it again. If you have to send more troops then send enough to matter...if you do not have the cajones to do so then bring them all home as you're just using them as cannon fodder otherwise.

Of course, we will not see that from the rightwing as they worry more about the politcal fallout of calls for actual numbers of troops that would make a difference rather then worrying about leaving the troops without enough support to hold the lands they die for and protect the areas they already hold.

I'm embarassed with the Left in Congress - the whole world knows them as anti-war, cut and run spineless blue-bloods with a condescending attitude towards anyone who favors freedom.

I fear the day if the Left actually gets some power in our government as it will surely mark the beginning of the end of safety for all Americans.

Just read the above remarks: Condescending. No respect for the elected leader of our country. No respect for our fighting men and women. Mad at the world. Irritated with this whole war thing.
These are the people who refuse to fund the troops unless their agenda is included too. If not included, well, screw the whole thing then. They aint gettin nothin. (crosses arms and sticks out chin)
