"It was the day for applying for new recruits," Abdul-Karim said. "There were tens of them waiting outside the police station."
In Baghdad, Lt. Col. Dan Williams, a coalition spokesman, said no U.S. or other coalition forces were hurt.
Hospital director Razaq Jabbar said his facility had received 50 dead and 50 injured ? all believed to be Iraqis. He said he had heard that three others died at another hospital.
"This figure might increase," he said. "There were some body parts that haven't been identified yet. Some more bodies may be trapped under the rubble."
Hussein Mohammed, 18, said he was standing in the public market when he heard a tremendous explosion about 9:15 a.m. Another witness, who refused to give his name, described the blast as "really strong" and said body parts littered the street near the station.
"There was not one body in one piece," he said.
Jabbar said some of the victims were policemen "but many more were civilians applying for jobs, and passers-by."
Hours after the attack, police opened fire in the air to disperse dozens of angry residents who stormed the wrecked police station after hearing rumors that the blast was caused by an American rocket.
"No, no to America! The police are traitors; not Sunnis, not Shiites! This crime was by the Americans!" the crowd shouted before dispersing.
Maybe you idiots should be complaining about the terrorists blowing up the truck in a crowded area, instead of blaming the United States for being there. We didn't cause the truck to blow up, the terrorists putting the explosives in the truck and detonating it blew it up. But no, you wont make any mention of them.. because you want to blame the United States for everything bad that happens in the world. Gee, lets not blame the people responsible for the act, lets blame the U.S. for causing their rage.
Besides, if we weren't there, these idiots would have just used it against Israel, their own people, Kuwait, whatever.. they are TERRORISTS... better to have us over there to kill them when they do sh*t like this instead of them getting away without fear.
Lets wait until they plant a suitcase nuke in New York City and kill 100,000 people before we do anything, but wait, then our policies would have caused that.. Why don't we just allow them to do whatever the hell they want in the Middle East? Then they'll just leave us alone right? Never mind the thousands of years these savages over there have been at war, and how they never seem to be happy until every last non-muslim is killed.. lets just forget about that, and assume they will leave us the hell alone if we just ignore them.. Good idea.
If these terrorists over there could keep their killing to themselves, that would be one thing.. but they have proved for thousands of years they cannot do that. They want every non-believer dead. THey have been at war with eachother forever, they can't stop.. An isolationist attitude is what is gonna get us killed..

I'm waiting for you to sign up to go there so you can demonstrate your skills with a gun that you brag about in your sig!
BTW, I don't forsee these types of terrorist acts subsiding in Iraq soon. It seems that some of the insurgents are targeting their own people to cause unrest between the Shiites,Sunni's and the Kurds.
you are obviously of joining up age, so join the marines, there is years of this left, look at how long we have been fighting the drug traffikers. let us know when you join up boyo.
no doubt about it, it's definitely been non-interventionalist policies in the past that have spawned resentment and terrorist acts
You must be joking right? We invaded them? You don't think sh$t would be blowing up all over the place if someone invaded us?
Well if Saddam had been elected president of the US and another country removed him from power, than no, I wouldn't be blowing them up. If I did want to get rid of them I wouldn't be blowing up my own people.
That wasn't even a good try tnitsuj.
How exactly is invading another country because we don't like its leader peaceful and tolerant??
Crap, I feel like I am feeding a troll,
You characterize the reasons for invasion as "we didn't like its leader"?
No thanks, I have better things to do than waste my time on a stupid discussion with someone who would post that.

True, because we all know Iraqis have a long history of terrorist attacks on American soil. No wait, those were Afghans. No, that's not right, they were really Saudis; they just hid in Afghanistan. Oh screw it, an Arab is an Arab, let's just kill them all.
Did you and George flunk Geography together?

Then don't eat and type at the same time.
No matter how much you support Bush, you know full well if the United States were invaded, we would be fighting the biggest guerilla war the world has ever seen. Millions of Americans would use every weapon and makeshift explosive we could get our hands on to inflict as much damage as we could on the invaders -- and on anyone else who cooperated with them. Why is it so surprising that some Iraqis feel the same way?
"Then don't eat and type at the same time."
Bowfinger, I really expected more from you. Guess you are the same as the rest of them.
Anyway.no I guess the former Saddam followers would be a little pissed off. Their gravy train ride on the backs of all of the rest of the Iraqi's is over.

Re. "eat and type at the same time", sorry, I forgot you don't do humor.
Re. your reply, that's really a pretty lame answer, IMO. Do you truly not understand the concept of defending one's country from a foreign invader? Can you truly not accept that they may be motivated by something other than greed? One doesn't have to agree with or support the insurgency in Iraq to at least understand its roots.
No doubt some of them are left-over Baathists and some are imported terrorists. I bet most are just local boys defending their country. The only way to deter them is to convince them we will give their country back.
