TUZ KHORMATO, Iraq - A suicide truck bomber blasted a Shiite town north of Baghdad on Saturday, killing more than 100 people, police said, in a sign Sunni insurgents are pulling away from a U.S. offensive around the capital to attack where security is thinner.

The marketplace devastation underlined a hard reality in Iraq: There are not enough forces to protect everywhere. U.S. troops, already increased by 28,000 this year, are focused on bringing calm to Baghdad, while the Iraqi military and police remain overstretched and undertrained.

The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, told The Associated Press he expected Sunni extremists to try to ??pull off a variety of sensational attacks and grab the headlines to create a ??mini-Tet.???

I told you so! As bad as it is, it will get worse before it gets better, if ever. I'm of the opinion that if we leave, it will get better faster, as the main reason the jihadists are there is to kill Americans. and P4B and I want it to get better faster.
