U.S. Base Falcon attacked in Baghdad

As I recently watched a developing story on CNN I gulped. Iraq insurgents attacked US Forward Operating Base Falcon just outside the green zone and hit it's ammo dump with mortars.

The live feed showed explosions which lasted for hours lighting up the Baghdad skyline.

If you allow yourself to think about this for a moment, that insurgents were able to strike a US base near Baghdad, you ought to be disabused of the president's storyline that success is just around the corner.

We had better get out soon if we can't even protect our bases.

Is staying the course in Iraq more important to you than healthcare for your family?

Is staying the course in Iraq more important to you than the policemen which keep your community safe?

Is staying the course in Iraq more important to you than affordable education for your children?

Is staying the course in Iraq more important to you than combating global warming?
