Deadliest single attack so far, and not a single Kool-Aid drinker

Anybody find a WMD yet?
How about Osama bin Ladin? Any sign of him in Iraq? :-(

BAGHDAD, Iraq (Feb. 28) - A suicide car bomber blasted a crowd of
police and national guard recruits Monday as they gathered for
physicals outside a medical clinic south of Baghdad, leaving at least
110 people dead and 133 injured - the single deadliest attack in the
two-year insurgency.
Torn limbs and other body parts littered the street outside the clinic
in Hillah, a predominantly Shiite area about 60 miles south of Baghdad.
Had to wait for the thrill to hit you guys. It actually took longer than I
thought, but that's probably due to your being on the west coast. It hit the
news here about 6 AM.
Sad. Not something to gloat over.
I'm sure Harry, also, will be posting with an "I told you so" grin on his face.
I won't see it, but if he doesn't, please let me know.
The good news, for what it's worth, is that so many Iraqis were trying to
volunteer to join two organizations which are known to be dangerous. It doesn't
seem to affect their willingness to stand up for their country. Of course,
people who haven't done it won't understand how anyone would want to.
