With lifelike carbomb action.
Shrub's "model city:"
A TOWN singled out by US President George W. Bush as a success story for American and Iraqi forces in the drive to quell the insurgency was last night the scene of a suicide bombing that killed at least 40 people and wounded 20 others.
The attack, in which the bomber detonated an explosives belt amid a line of recruits outside Tamarat army base at 11.15am (7.15pm AEDT) near the town of Tal Afar, close to the Syrian border, was the deadliest single attack since a January suicide assault on police recruits in Ramadi.
"Forty people have been killed and 20 wounded when a suicide bomber blew himself up in the midst of candidates waiting at the army recruitment centre," an Interior Ministry official said.
Mr Bush had cited Tal Afar, the scene of major joint US-Iraqi operations last year, as a model for coalition efforts to create a stable Iraq.
Maybe a journalist will ask the boy king about this at the next "informal chat."
Nah, probably not.
