Within, one day, 28 people die in a bombing and then right after that, 9 American solders are killed.

Telling people in advance, well in advance, and then negotiating our entry into areas of ethnic conflict is not going to cause anything but the proverbial whack-a-mole strategy. The sunni and shiia cells have a sophistication we continually do not give them credit for, and we continue to spend blood and treasure on a losing strategy. Leading to the, oh what's the word?, wasting of lives.
