Another day in Chimptopia

With a strange aspect to boot (aside from the bombing, which sadly is not strange in Iraq):

A former commando wearing a uniform blew himself up during roll call at the heavily guarded headquarters of an elite Iraqi police unit Saturday, officials said, as attacks in and around Baghdad killed at least 23 people. Interior Minister Bayan Jabr, meanwhile, said an ongoing Iraqi-led offensive to weed out militants in the capital was a success and expressed confidence that the Shiite-led government would bring security to the country within six months.


What the hell made it elite?

That it had not been bombed before?

On a less flippant note, this on the surface looks like an inside job -- the kind of sophisticated job that should truly trouble American Policy-Makers or their enablers. It won't, of course, because they've long since given into believing their own bullshit. But it certainly should trouble the rest of us.
