BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — Two suicide bombers on Thursday simultaneously
struck the Iraqi city of Falluja, destroying a school and killing at least 15
people — including some of the students — an Interior Ministry official said.
Bodies are still buried beneath the rubble of the school, the official
said.

The attackers rammed oil tankers into two Iraqi police posts, one located
near the destroyed school.

The twin strikes left at least 147 others wounded, he said. Both
civilians and police are among the casualties from the strike, which happened
shortly after noon.

Authorities have imposed a curfew in areas near the attacks, according to
a CNN journalist in the Sunni town, located about 60 km (35 miles) west of
Baghdad in Anbar province.

1. very sad

:( I have to admit, I've tuned out a bit over the last few months so I don't know if it's ratcheting up again or just seems that way to me because I'm tuning back in.

4. It's ratcheting up again.

On a smaller scale, but definitely a trend.

The Bush administration has been a disaster on a collosal scale. Obama could sit on his ass and play solitaire for the next eight years and his would be a more successful and nurturing administration than the Bush/Cheney debacle.
