Looks like extra innings ... ?

Bombs in London.
Bombs in Cairo.
Bombs in Beirut.
Bombs in Iraq.

Remember how they said we're winning the war on terrorism?

Check THIS link out. Or THIS. Or THIS.
To date, 1,772 Americans have died in Iraq. Another 15,000 to 38,000 have been wounded (Officially 13,438). And that doesn't count the 25,915 civilian deaths. These aren't numbers. They're people. (Yeah, I know, Saddam killed Iraqi civilians, too. But there's a difference.)
It has cost us $182.6 billion so far. Instead, we could have fully funded global anti-hunger projects for seven years. How's that for exporting democracy?
And NO weapons of mass destructions have ever been found.
And NO al Quada connection has ever been found.
And NO terrorist camps.
And NO plans to spread worldwide terrorism have ever been found.
And, given the price at the pump, the oil isn't even flowing.
One accomplishment, however: while Iraq under Saddam was NOT friendly to terrorists, it's now a major terrorist staging ground since we opened the borders.
Anyone read the Downing Street memo yet?
Why, again, are we there? No answers yet.

And so it goes.
