It would appear that the insurgents in Iraq have somewhat re-grouped after last weeks drive by the U.S. and friends to calm things down.
The insurgents have started the week off with an attack on a U.S. combat post killing two soldiers and wounding seventeen in the process.
First up was the dreaded suicide bomber who exploded a car outside of the base which is just north of Baghdad , then we another bomber that blew up a belt loaded with explosives while on a bus. Five people were killed in that attack. But wait, there's more!
In Mahmoudiya, 20 miles south of the capital, a car bomb went off among auto repair shops, killing two and wounding two, police said. Mahmoudiya is mostly Shiite with Sunnis living in villages around the community and has long been a flashpoint for sectarian violence.
Outside the capital, a car bomb in Ramadi, about 90 miles west of Baghdad, killed at least nine bystanders congregated at a police checkpoint in the aftermath of a failed suicide attack. In Duluiyah, a Sunni area about 45 miles north of Baghdad, at least four were killed when a bomb-rigged car exploded.
Bush would say that things are going well in Iraq.
