I still say let’s get the hell out of there and let them kill each other.
Written by GussA number of mortars have hit Baghdad’s Green Zone, with eyewitnesses reporting smoke rising from the area around the US embassy.
About 10 mortars landed in the heavily fortified district where the government and parliament are based, and which is also home to many foreign embassies.There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.
It comes a week after Prime Minister Nouri Maliki warned militants against attacks on the Green Zone.
US military helicopters took to the air moments later from the Green Zone apparently searching for the firing positions.
Correct range
The Green Zone is supposed to be a safe area of operation for the US civilian and military authorities in Baghdad, US contractors and the post-Saddam Hussein Iraqi government.
In a recent report, the United Nations underlined the increased risks of operating in the area. According to UN figures, 26 people were killed by indirect fire from mid-February to late May.

“However, rocket fire and mortar attacks are often ineffective as helicopter patrols mean that attackers have no time to find the correct range, with most attacks falling on open ground.”
I do hope that last paragraph of the article is the case today. Have not seen news of the attack on the Fox website and have seen no TV so if you hear any updates Guss, would you post them please so when I check in I can find out more. Thanks.
