A series of car bombs have killed at least 157 people.. Sadr City in Baghdad..
The six bombs, .. and a mortar blast ..
Interior ministry sources said five people were wounded at the health ministry building, about 5km from Sadr City.
..100 masked gunmen holding machine guns attacked.
..The attackers later withdrew after clashes with American and Iraqi security forces.

A health ministry spokesman said: "The gunmen fled as American helicopters and Iraqi armoured vehicles arrived...

The fighting lasted for several hours

The interesting point is the "several hours" [or "two hours" in the NYT] delay before the USA military arrives at the Health Ministry.

USA is evidently hunkered down in bases, to scared to come out for hours. Or they want chaos, and they allow attacks in force to proceed for hours.

Also note that the car bombs are not described as suicide attacks. The USA, a culture of dedication, not devotion, cannot inspire suicide bombers. (All their religosity is a tvivial facade, no neo-zion would take pain for Likud). Any non-suicide event in Iraq must be assigned a probability of being a deliberate USA act, they may have set of the car bombs to keep the chaos hot.

Shallots for Sciatica

enfotiamine is a lipid-soluble form of thiamine (vitamin B-1). It is perhaps the most effective of the allithiamine group of naturally occurring, thiamine-derived compounds, found in trace quantities in roasted crushed garlic and other vegetables from the Allium genus (such as onions, shallots, and leeks).
