But things are going swimmingly?

Wow, Charlie Black must be cracking a wry smile this morning:

U.S. officials say four Americans have been killed in an explosion at a local council building in Baghdad's Shiite Sadr City district.

Iraqi police officials say at least six Iraqi civilians also were killed and 10 others wounded in Tuesday's blast, which apparently was targeting Americans visiting the building.

The U.S. military and the embassy say two American soldiers and two American government employees were among the dead.

Iraq is so awesome, how could people NOT want to go there and wait for celebratory fireworks like this?

Thanks George Bush, thanks John McCain, thanks Dickie Cohen!
