Bad headline

When I read this headline, Insurgents attack U.S. bases, my first thoughts were that the insurgents conducted an operation similar to the TET Offensive when the Vietnamese attacked every major base at the same time. However, after reading the article, to my favor, the attacks were merely mortar attacks, which happen every day and are not news worth unless somebody is killed. So don’t be alarmed with today’s headlines.

Mortars in Iraq are as common as a Texan bragging on himself… occasionally it’s annoying, but it’s just part of the environment and doesn’t cause much damage.
