Bloody Tuesday in Iraq

 
A car bomb and a suicide bomber killed 60 people and wounded 110, including many students blown up as they waited at the entrance to a university in Baghdad on Tuesday, police said.

Other bombings and a mass shooting brought to at least 95 the death toll in Baghdad on the bloodiest day for such attacks in weeks, as the United Nations published figures showing more than 34,000 Iraqi civilians were killed in violence last year.

The Pilgrim remains unconvinced that an additional 20,000 troops will do anything to stop this sort of violence.

What then?  20,000 more?

It's like JFK once said regarding sending troops to Vietnam.  'It's like taking a drink.  Soon the affect wears off and you have to take another.'

Soon, you're an alcoholic.
