Suicide Bomber Kills 28 Police Recruits In Iraq

QARAH TAPPAH, Iraq - A suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowd of police recruits in northern Iraq on Tuesday killing 28 people, in an attack that showed that parts of Iraq have yet to see the security gains felt elsewhere.

The bombing took place in the town of Jalawla in the north of volatile Diyala province, just a day after Kurdish Peshmerga security forces withdrew from the town at the request of the central government in Baghdad.

The attack, which also wounded 45 people, was the biggest for weeks in Iraq, where overall levels of violence have dropped sharply in the last year. It came amid Iraqi efforts to conclude a security deal with the United States that would require U.S. forces to leave Iraq by the end of 2011.

And so we have more proof that the surge is working NOT!

The US does not attack other nations; Bush said so, McCain said so, Rice said so. Therefore, we never attacked Iraq and anything you've heard to the contrary is totally false, probably made up by the ultra Lib media. Way to go, Wolf!

Surge is working, my friends. Surge is working. I have won many wars. I know wars. I know how to fight wars. After all, I was a effing POW.

Hasn't somebody told these people that the surge has worked?
Don't they know McGrumpy was a POW?

There's been a major suicide bombing killing way to many nearly every day in Iraq of late and nearly no coverage of any of them on MSM..!

When was the last time you saw any report from Iraq on Television or Cable news..?
