If Bush wants to stay the course, he may consider suggesting to Rummy
about protecting U.S. ammo dumps a bit better from insurgent attacks.
"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the
United States and our allies have prevailed."
President Bush
"My answer is bring 'em on."
President George W. Bush
"You cannot succeed in this effort if you're not willing to recognize
the enormous contribution the Iraqis are increasingly making to their
own future."
Vice President ***** Cheney

Militia Attack Ignites US Ammo Dump In Iraq
Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:47 AM ET
By Ross Colvin
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Militiamen firing mortars detonated a U.S.
ammunition dump in Baghdad on Tuesday night, sparking a barrage of
explosions that continued to shake the capital on Wednesday morning, a
U.S. military spokesman said.
Residents said the blasts were reminiscent of the aerial bombardment of
Baghdad that preceded the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003.
A mortar round fired from the Abu Dsheer area of southern Baghdad
caused the fire in an ammunition holding area in Camp Falcon, a forward
operating base for U.S. troops, that ignited tank, artillery and
small-arms ammunition, the spokesman said.
"Intelligence indicates that civilians aligned with a militia
organization were responsible for last night's mortar attack," said
Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Withington, spokesman for the U.S. 4th
Infantry Division.
