At least 40 Iraqis have been killed in an attack by US troops.
The Madrid bombers were planning a second attack, for Easter Sunday.
Fox news is reporting that some western reporters may have been taken hostage in Iraq. (If you saw the Daniel Pearl video as I did, you gotta cringe at that news.)

This is getting out of hand! We need to make a big statement NOW, if we are going to get a handle on the situation AND give control over the Iraqis June 30. There is no way, IMHO, that this deadline should stand. I don't want us over there, but we started something that we need to finish. I just hope there's a bolder plan coming soon. We can't let this drag out.

I believe in the strength and the awesome power of our marines, but I think we need to bring in air strikes and whatever else is necessary to bring this latest outburst to a close.

last night they were calling in Helicopter gunships and AC-130's which should be all of the air support they need unless it becomes necessary to drop a MOAB to level the whole town.

I believe we need to make a clean sweep over there and get rid of the radicals and extremists once and for all. Enough already.
I think the deadline is right on the mark. Hope you are right Steve!

They're kneeling on them...because they're cowards and wimps and don't like getting grit on their kneecaps.
