And this was right inside the heavily fortified Green Zone,no less-inside the Iraqi parliament,while people were having lunch.

So far,at least 2 are dead from the suicide bombing,with dozens of casualties.

The Green Zone is not completely safe. My friend Sean was killed inside the Green Zone on March 29 when he was hit by a rocket walking back from the chow hall to his office.

Frighten me? Or frighten their enemies there?

And why do you think they would want to make that point?

To show their numbers are greater than one thinks they are?

It should be obvious that we do not control that country right now.

I don't think we had it for more than a few weeks there. It is just becoming the 800 lbs. guerrilla in the room now.

I'm going to agree.
The gorilla has been there a long time.
Aqua we really never had control in the area just above Baghdad.

Defying a two-month-old U.S.-Iraqi security crackdown, the bomber slipped through multiple armed checkpoints to reach the heart of the zone, a 10 sq. km (4 sq. miles) area housing parliament, government offices and many embassies.
