So much for the surge. A suicide bomber slipped through the tightest security net in Baghdad and blew himself up in the midst of lawmakers. Nothing special so far right? Happen everyday in Iraq right? What's special is the location of the bombing. The bombing happened while the lawmakers were having lunch IN the parliament dining hall. So much for progress in the latest U.S.-Iraqi bid to clamp off violence in the capital.
A news video camera showed smoke and dust billowing through the area, and confused and frightened lawmakers screaming for help. At least two lawmakers were among the dead. If the Americans can't even control and protect the parliament building, that's it. They have lost already.
President Bush condemned the attack saying that, "We stand with you." Yet the brazen bombing is the clearest evidence that militants can penetrate even the most secure locations. Green Zone, what Green Zone? It's over. The Americans should just walk out of Iraq before they get run out.
