Week In Iraq Photos
A daily diary with scenes of the latest attacks and snapshots from the effort to rebuild a nation.
The military did not provide more details, but the attack occurred days after a massive house explosion followed by a suicide attack left some 40 people dead in the provincial capital of Mosul.
The blasts on Wednesday and Thursday have drawn attention to the security situation in Mosul, which U.S. commanders describe as the last major urban center with a significant al Qaeda presence since the terror network has been driven from its strongholds in the capital and Anbar province.
Iraqi army reinforcements moved Sunday into positions near the city, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, ahead of a planned offensive announced by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
The U.S. military, which a military spokesman said earlier this month was the last urban safe haven for al Qaeda-led insurgents, has said Iraqi security forces will take the lead in Mosul - a major test of Washington's plan to, at an undetermined date, shrink the American force and leave it as backup for Iraqi security forces.
Two U.S. soldiers were killed in separate bombings in Baghdad, the military said Sunday.
One Multi-National Division - Baghdad soldier died Sunday after the soldier's vehicle was struck by a roadside bomb in northeastern Baghdad, according to a statement.
Another soldier was killed Saturday by a bomb during a foot patrol near Kazimiyah, a predominantly Shiite neighborhood in northern Baghdad, the military said separately.
Identities were not released pending notification of relatives.
The deaths raised to at least 3,934 members of the U.S. military who have died since the Iraq war started in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count.
In Other Developments:
Since 1980, more than 5,000 refugees have been resettled in Manchester from a variety of countries. In the years that followed the first Gulf war in 1991, New Hampshire received 86 Iraqi refugees.
The U.S. government expects to admit up to 12,000 Iraqi refugees by next October.

See all 200 CommentsHere is something to think about!
The military recruits young people because they lack the ability to reason logically!
The male brain is not fully developed until around the age of 22! The part that is last to develop is the frontal cortex, That is where good reasoning comes from! It is the main reason why our young people are getting killed in traffic accidents and the reason of so many failed marriages!
The government knows this and uses this , otherwise their recruiting quotas would be low!
As usual the citizens are being used for cannon fodder!

I don''t intend to listen to it... Whats the use?
Senator John McCain recently compared the situation in Iraq to the Vietnam era %u2014 to which President Bush replied, ''What does Iraq have in common with drinking beer in Texas.
People, people, people find something to do that benefits your neighbor. Honest effort will help clear troubled minds.

A bill for a national draft is going through Congress...Will this be, like the Patriot Act, be passed on the heels of yet another false-flag attack on America by those who are trying to force war and a new world order upon the world?
The animals in Congress did not even read the Patriot Act--and they sold you down the police state drain. Which City will they hit this time?
This week, a group of Republican congressmen asked President Bush what his ''Plan B'' is if the current Iraq plan doesn''t work. The ''Plan B'' discussion was difficult for Bush, because it involves two areas where he''s extremely vulnerable -- Iraq and the alphabet.

Kindasleezy wanted the maggot so badly he is earning NO salary in that new job... What''s up with THAT???
All for a meaningless war foisted upon us to more than double the price of oil for Bush and his Saudi Shiek friends.
All that''s been accomplished is putting an Islamic ruler in charge of Iraq. All the terrorists have to do is wait for us to pull out and in the meantime snipe and kill as many of us as they can.
When you look at the list of people killed by rank it is very heavy on the captain and above- these people know they are killing many of our best leaders on the ground and the "terorists" really don''t lose many people at all from their leadership corps.
This is certainly a stupid pointless war, not so different from Vietnam in terms of it''s uselessness and futility of purpose unless you look at the $100-million profit a day that Exxon and the other oil companies are raking in.
So our economy is in the dumps due to the drain and due to the fact that almost everything we buy is now made in China. Thankfully the Chinese will probably lend us the money for the upcoming stimulus package. Both the Dims and the Repugs are a bunch of liars and crooks with the Decider calling the shots.

Save your gibberish...Sounds like someone just scanned their Psych101 syllabus...."a new level of propaganda"! What the ...?
All the US troops, the civilian men, women and children, the journalists all of them have died for nothing more than greed (Cheney), Israel (rumsfeld, wolfowitz, feith) and legacy (bush).
There never was a valid reason to invade Iraq, no WMD, no threats to the US. Saddam was a brutal dicator, but he was never worth this cost. He was a toothless old tiger that would have strutted around for a few more years.
You ask the people of today if they would rather be back under Saddam and they say yes. Under Saddam, life was hard, but at least liveable. Under the US occupation, it is impossible. Genocide, homes destroyed, no electicity, no water, no waste managment, no schools. Families torn apart, never to see each other again.
This whole stupid enterprise will ensure that a whole generation of Iraqi kids grow up hating America with a passion that will be equal to the hatred of the 9-11 hijackers.
Instead of working to make the middle east a place where American is NOT called Satan and is not hated, shrub has managed to do the complete opposite.
This will go down in history as one of the worse, if not the worse, foreign policies in US history.
These people will continue to fight and kill US troops until the end of time. Their anger at our meddling in their affairs, trying to steal their oil, assinating leaders that don''t play their game, is beyond anything we can understand.
Bushco should be in jail and tried as war criminals, because that is what they are. No better than a common run of the mill dicator, trying to fool everyone that they really are good people, concerned about the health and welfare of others.
Like every petty dicator, they see themselves as heros and the truth is that are common criminals.

i am a young and handsome man from us. i just wonder if i can meet a rich momma here, because i am at the beginning of my career and i need someone''s support..i uploaded my hot photos on sugarmommameet.com under the name piccolo , maybe you want to check out my photos firstly!
just five more victims of GW Bush and the immoral conservative agenda
singinrick
I''ve been reading the Bible daily as you recomended and I was wondering if you could answer some questions that have come up for me?
I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
singinrick
I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?
stop the WWII comparisons. Iwo Jema has absolutely NOTHING to do with our soldiers in Iraq. You seem to have forgotten history, or maybe you never it to begin with, having spent most of your school days learning the f*cking bible instead of learning something useful, like history.
Japan ATTACKED the US on Dec 7, 1941. There was a valid reason those men died.
There is not one single valid reason these men died today or yesterday or the last 6 years. Iraq did NOT attack us, did not threaten to attack us, was incapable of attacking us.
The whole "war" is being waged for MONEY only. There is nothing patriot or heroic in asking men and women to die for your rich friends pockets books.
singinrick
Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
singinrick
My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn''t we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
singinrick
I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
singinrick
I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
singinrick
Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can''t I own Canadians?
singinrick
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
singinrick
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don''t agree. Can you settle this? Are there ''degrees'' of abomination?
singinrick
Lev.21:20 states that I may ! not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle- room here?
singinrick

I rarely call people on the blogs stupid, but it is time, past time, to look at f*cking reality already!!
We were marketed and sold a package called "WMD" by a bunch of shisters who needed a reason to start in motion a plan they had made 10 years before. A plan that would give the middle east oil fields to America and save Israel. The f*cking AIPAC and neocons got together under that supremely arrogant shrub, who was lead around by the nose by the worse neocon of them all, Cheney!
There have been documentaries, news articles, interviews given over the past 5 years that uncover enough facts to put all this in perspective.
And people STILL go around mouthing inanities and idiocies!! They have NOTHING, not one single SHRED OF PROOF that what bushco says is true.
I mean, how *** stupid are you to still believe the same OLD LIES years after they have been proven false?? Or to believe a new set of lies from the same liars??
[Posted by singinrick at 02:47 PM : Jan 28, 2008]
you''re both wrong
You''''re the one who''''s arrogant Floyd. All sane people see this.
Posted by singinrick
No, Floyd is right, you are incredibly arrogant and insane.
Instead of concentrating our troops were AlQaeda is concentrated Bush dispersed our troops thin.
I can only hope that some day the parent of an US soldier killed in Iraq will walk up to Bush and b.itch slap the i.diot.

Another pathetic non response from you. You always drop into hyperbole when faced with a quesion or statement that you can''t wiggle out of.
Instead of just answering me, you go on about superflous sh*t that has NOTHING to do with what I am talking about and that is why I think you are a pathetic, ignorant, uneducated, frightened schmeck.
