But the war is over!

It must be nice being President Bush, with everything being black and white. Today he will announce the war is over, so we can all move on the bigger and better things. Like tax cuts.

But for our poor men and women in Iraq, nothing is over.

Attackers lobbed two grenades into a U.S. Army compound Thursday, wounding seven soldiers just hours after the Americans had fired on Iraqi protesters in the street outside, a U.S. intelligence officer reported. [...]

The attack, at 1 a.m. Thursday, came after soldiers in the compound and in a passing Army convoy opened fire Wednesday on anti-American demonstrators massed outside. Local hospital officials said two Iraqis were killed and 18 wounded.

The revenge cycle is starting. None of the injuries from this attack are life-threatening, but such luck won't last forever. This is not a good situation for our soldiers.
