Michael Corleone to Hyman Roth::"In MY HOME! In MY BEDROOM!...IN THE FUCKIN' GREEN ZONE!"
Am astonishing yawn has greeted the *first death of American soldiers by rocket fire in the Green Zone on Sunday.
Not the insinuation into general commerce of a stealthy suicide bomber, not the furtive emplacement of a booby trap (IED), but direct hostile fire from Sadr City.
This is, I submit, the crossing of a significant threshold, albeit predicted by last month's Embassy directive that hardened sleeping quarters were to replace trailers, and full body armor to be the fashionable day wear for excursions WITHIN THE ZONE!!
When 140,000 soldiers can't buy you a few safe square miles in downtown Baghdad you ain't shit.
I believe Barack will jack Petraeus up about this in a few hours.
