Suspected Shiite extremists also unleashed rockets or mortars against the U.S.-protected Green Zone in central Baghdad for the third day this week.
Three Americans were seriously injured in the attacks, U.S. Embassy spokeswoman Mirembe Nantongo said. At least eight Iraqis also were killed after rounds fell short in several areas of Baghdad.
This is what gets me about this whole campaign and why I think it is stupid to still be in Iraq. America has been there for what five years and counting and they still can't protect their own base. I know this is all just political rather than military because if the military had it's way they just would make Baghdad a parking lot and insert a grade school teacher and some techies to govern the people and make a new city. My point here is that America is still being pummeled by militants that are power grabbing and insurgents that are trying to make some religious point. I don't like to read about things like this and I am very tired of it. Nothing like what America is attempting to do in Iraq should be done with their hands tied. This whole fiasco was as poorly planned as Vietnam and with the same vision for an ending.
