HANLEY, AP Special Correspondent  <br><br> BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. occupation authority retreated from its headquarters Sunday after Iraqi insurgents, using a \"science project\" of a rocket launcher, attacked the heavily guarded hotel with a missile barrage that killed an American colonel, wounded 18 other people and sent the visiting deputy defense secretary scurrying for safety.  <br><br> Paul Wolfowitz, the shaken-looking but unhurt Pentagon deputy, said the strike against the Al Rasheed Hotel, from nearly point-blank range, \"will not deter us from completing our mission\" in Iraq.  <br><br> But the bold blow at the heart of the U.S. presence here clearly rattled U.S. confidence that it is defeating Iraq's shadowy insurgents.  <br><br> \"We'll have to get the security situation under control,\" Secretary of State Colin Powell told NBC's \"Meet the Press.\"  <br><br> The Bush administration knew postwar security would be a challenge, but \"we didn't expect it would be quite this intense this long,\" he said.  <br><br> The assault was likely planned over at least the past two months, a top U.S. commander said, as the insurgents put together the improvised rocket launcher and figured out how to wheel it into the park just across the street from the hotel.  <br><br> The effect of the 6:10 a.m. volley of rockets was dramatic: U.S. officials and officers fled from the Al Rasheed, some still in pajamas or shorts to a nearby convention center. The concrete western face of the 18-story building was pockmarked with a half-dozen or more blast holes, and windows shattered in at least two dozen rooms.  <br><br> The modern, 462-room Al-Rasheed, housing civilian officials of the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority and U.S. military personnel, is a symbol of the occupation. The assault highlighted the vulnerability of even heavily guarded U.S. facilities in Iraq, where American forces sustain an average of 26 lower-profile attacks daily, and where Wolfowitz came to assess ways to defeat the stubborn 6-month-old insurgency.  <br><br> More than 15 hours after the rocket fire and after U.S. security officials flooded the neighborhood, two explosions went off in the same downtown area. An Iraqi policeman said an assailant fired a rocket-propelled grenade at a U.S. convoy next to the al-Mansour Hotel, about a mile away from the Al Rasheed. There were no casualties, he said.  <br><br> A day earlier, a rocket-propelled grenade forced down a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter north of Baghdad, the 4th Infantry Division confirmed Sunday. The incident occurred just hours after Wolfowitz left that area on the second day of his three-day visit. One soldier was injured.  <br><br> The U.S. command said the wounded included seven American civilians, four U.S. military personnel and five non-U.S. civilians working for the coalition. Two Iraqi security guards also were hurt. The command did not immediately identify the dead American, but Wolfowitz said he was a U.S. colonel.  <br><br> A senior FBI official said the bureau, the Defense Department, the State Department and Iraqi police were all involved in the investigation. Wolfowitz and his aides were very close to the area of the hotel that was struck, but there was no indication the attack was directed at Wolfowitz, the Pentagon said.  <br><br> Brig. Gen. Martin Dempsey of the 1st Armored Division said he believed the insurgents timed the attack with the lifting this weekend of an overnight curfew in Baghdad and the reopening of a main city bridge.  <br><br> \"Any time we demonstrate a return to normalcy, there are those who will push back at that,\" said Dempsey, who is responsible for security in Baghdad.  <br><br> Iraqi police said the attacker or attackers boldly drove a white Chevrolet pickup to the edge of the city's main Zawra Park and Zoo, just 400 yards southwest of the hotel, towing what looked like a portable, two-wheeled generator.  <br><br> A police commander said on condition of anonymity that when security guards approached, the assailants drove off, but rockets within the blue trailer apparently had been set to fire via a timer and suddenly ignited, flashing toward the hotel, a clear shot looming just over the treetops.  <br><br> \"When he saw us, he fled,\" guard Jabbar Tarek said of the driver. The guards weren't armed, Tarek said, or \"I would have fired on him.\"  <br><br> Tarek and one other guard were lightly injured by rockets that exploded prematurely, Dempsey said.  <br><br> \"I thought my house was being destroyed, it was such a huge sound,\" Hamoudi Mutlag, 48, said of the rockets' impact.  <br><br> An Al Rasheed maintenance worker, he was asked whether he now feared staying in his house, situated between the firing point and the hotel.  <br><br> \"Every place in Baghdad is dangerous now that the Americans are here,\" he said.  <br><br> Dempsey said the attackers welded together a 40-pod launcher that held both 68mm and 85mm artillery rockets. Between eight and 10 struck the hotel, and 11 never left their tubes, he said.  <br><br> The division commander said the insurgent operation required \"some reconnaissance and some rehearsal,\" and possibly two months' preparation. The device was not sophisticated - \"a science project in a garage with a welder and a battery and a handful of wires\" - but it was effective, he said.  <br><br> \"There is no guarantee we can protect against this kind of thing unless we have soldiers on every block,\" one of Dempsey's reconnaissance officers, 1st Lt. Brian Dowd, said at the scene.  <br><br> The general said his troops had to disarm booby-trap explosives attached to the trailer before towing it away.  <br><br> A coalition official said on condition of anonymity that the authority later ordered the hotel evacuated indefinitely, its hundreds of guests to be scattered among other lodging places in the so-called \"Green Zone,\" a heavily guarded district along the Tigris River that includes the palace headquarters of the authority, the offices of the interim Iraqi Governing Council, and the Convention Center housing coalition press relations and other offices.  <br><br> The formerly government-owned Al Rasheed, Baghdad's best-known luxury hotel, was taken over by occupation authorities after U.S.-British forces toppled the Baathist government of President Saddam Hussein in April.  <br><br> The well-planned attack was the second on the hotel, which was hit Sept. 27 by small rockets or rocket-propelled grenades that caused minimal damage and no casualties.  <br><br> In his brief morning statement, Wolfowitz spoke of \"even bigger news\" than the hotel attack - the growing number of Iraqis being trained and equipped \"and going out on patrols, fighting these criminals.\"  <br><br> The U.S. administration largely blames die-hard Saddam loyalists and foreign fighters for the continuing hit-and-run guerrilla war. But other Iraqis opposed to the U.S. occupation also are believed to be participating in the resistance.  <br><br> At his news conference, Dempsey noted the number of attacks started surging in September.  <br><br> \"Why haven't the number of attacks gone down? I don't know the answer to that,\" he said. The U.S. command is \"still trying ... to figure out exactly why that happened.\"  <br><br> Also Sunday, a Spanish army sergeant died after being shot accidentally by a colleague, Spain's defense ministry said.<\/p>\n","contact":"latuff@uninet.com.br","link":"latuff2.deviantart.com","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","summary":"&quot;...The effect of the 6:10 a.m. volley of rockets was dramatic: U.S. officials and officers fled from the Al Rasheed, some still in pajamas or shorts to a nearby convention center...&quot;","numcomment":117,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2003\/10\/wolfowitz.gif","filesize":"42.6 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2003\/10\/91134.php","image":{"original":"\/uploads\/2003\/10\/wolfowitz.gif"}},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":91234,"heading":"What a crock of shit","article":"I beleive he's still there asshole\r\n\r\nget a fucking clue or get the fuck out of america you fucking traitor","author":"Bob Sharott","parent_id":91134,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-10-28 16:44:24","modified":"2003-10-28 16:44:24","fileurl":""},{"id":91247,"heading":"things are not what they appear to be","article":"or better,more logically:\r\nthings MAY not be what they seem.\r\nfollow me reader if you will - thru the smokescreen and into the beautiful realm of logical critical thinking.\r\n\r\nthe devil's always in the details.\r\n\r\n1.a few hours ago these so-called &quot;iraqi insurgents&quot; attacked the red cross;over the past months,they've attacked  the un,iraqi police,shiite muslims,and other non us targets:\r\ndon't you find it strange?\r\nwhy on earth would iraqi insurgents,whose alleged purpose it is to kick america's ass out of iraq,wanna select targets that are sure to alienate international,non us solidarity from iraq and the iraqi people themselves?\r\n\r\n2.about a month ago,the mainstream press briefly reported that 8 attackers had been arrested for targeting marines:of the 8,6 were americans and 2 british...of couse the embarassing news got obfuscated the next day and then silenced completely,but NOT disclaimed...\r\ndoesn't it make you wonder reader?\r\n\r\n3.after a recent bagdad hotel bombing,the regime AP first reported about a witness who'd seen a &quot;LIGHT-SKINNED,UNBEARDED&quot; MAN AT THE WHEEL OF THE TOYOTA COROLLA THAT ALLEGEDLY CAUSED THE BLAST - only to mysteriously delete this reference shortly thereafter...:\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.indymedia.org\/front.php3?article_id=357163&group=webcast\r\n\r\nare you beginning to connect the dots reader?\r\n\r\nask yourself if you will:\r\n\r\ncui prodest,whom benefits this alleged &quot;iraqi insurgency&quot;?\r\n\r\nmaybe those who want to keep iraqi unstable at all costs in order to preserve the us occupation and its dirty war business as long as possible...\r\n\r\nnow one might reasonably object:\r\nbut look,it can't be us govt terror,they've just targeted wolfie himself!!!\r\n\r\nreally? well,who can really say where exactly wofie was at the time of the blasts?\r\nand:have you heard that there's been quite a bit of internecine strife recently at the pentagon and white house?...","author":"adrian more","parent_id":91134,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-10-28 17:10:57","modified":"2003-10-28 17:10:57","fileurl":""},{"id":91255,"heading":"Exactly","article":"&quot;maybe those who want to keep iraqi unstable at all costs&quot;\r\n\r\nExactly, Finally a cogent thought from lonely basement guy.\r\n\r\nNo one benefits more than Isalmic fundamentalists who see a western led stable Iraq as THE number one obstacle in the way of their desire to create, yet another, despotic stoneage Islamic shithole.\r\n\r\nAbsolutely no one.

Salon's Michelle Goldberg, who is highly sympathetic to the antiwar cause, has a devastating piece on this weekend's protest in Washington. Here's the opening anecdote:\r\n\r\n&quot;Allan Johnson, a high school English teacher and debate coach from Fairfax, Va., held a sign saying &quot;U.S. Troops Out of Iraq. Bring Them Home Now!&quot; at Saturday's &quot;End the Occupation&quot; rally in Washington. In fact, though, Johnson isn't sure he wants to bring the troops home now, or to end the American occupation of Iraq. At least, not yet.\r\n\r\n&quot;We've made a giant mess,&quot; said Johnson, a handsome man who wore his long snowy hair in a ponytail and had a sparkling stud in one ear. &quot;I would hate for the Bush administration to halfway fix things and then leave, and then blame the Iraqis if things go wrong. Once you go to somebody's house and break all the windows, don't you owe them new windows?&quot; \r\n\r\nWhy, then, was he marching at an End the Occupation rally? &quot;I don't agree with all the people here, believe you me,&quot; he said. But his own sign? He glanced at it, startled, and explained that someone had handed it to him. &quot;I didn't even look at it,&quot; he said. &quot;I was just waving it.&quot;\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.salon.com\/news\/feature\/2003\/10\/27\/antiwar\/index_np.html\r\n\r\nThe group that sponsored the protest, International Answer, is evil, not clueless. A front for the Stalinist Workers World Party, Answer is engaging in outright sedition; Goldberg quotes from an Answer pamphlet: &quot;The anti-war movement here and around the world must give its unconditional support to the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance&quot;--that would be the guerrillas and terrorists who've been blowing up American servicemen, Iraqi civilians and international do-gooders.\r\n\r\nIf the peace-freaks who've taken to the street can't be taken seriously, what about the antiwar tilt of the Democratic Party? One suspects this is more the lurching of a dying beast than a serious political program, and Goldberg has a telling quote:\r\n\r\n&quot;There's no liberal message that separates the welfare of the Iraqi people from that of the Bush administration. In a New Republic article this week, Michael Crowley quotes Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., complaining that his colleagues' Iraq stances are driven by blind rage. &quot;In trying to pin them down, I say, 'At the end of the day, we have to have a policy to cope with what to do now,' &quot; he told Crowley. &quot;And they say, 'Well, we're just pissed off.' They don't really even attempt to argue the policy of it.&quot; \r\n\r\nThose of us who've endured the various Democratic presidential debates are left with the same impression. It's hard to imagine any of the current presidential candidates, outside the lunatic fringe (Al Sharpton and Dennis Kucinich), opposing the liberation in Iraq if a Democrat were in the White House. For the other candidates (with the partial exceptions of Joe Lieberman, Dick Gephardt and Carol Moseley Braun, who to varying degrees have refused to join the cut-and-run crowd), the war seems to be beside the point. They want President Bush to lose, and if America loses in the process, well, that's just collateral damage.\r\n","author":"Ffutal","parent_id":91134,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-10-29 22:10:01","modified":"2003-10-29 22:10:01","fileurl":""},{"id":91603,"heading":"Neat","article":"Hex and Adrian going at it above.\r\nMust be something in the air.\r\nMoron dust?\r\nRoll over and sleep.

Yesterday I noted a fascinating article on &quot;antiwar&quot; activists by Salon's Michelle Goldberg; Goldberg's piece prompted a variety of letters from fellow liberals, some of them quite thoughtful. But we were struck by this one, by one Tom Pryor (third letter):\r\n\r\n&quot;George Packer and Paul Berman can pontificate all they want about how America needs to commit more resources to Iraq, but those guys have nice, cushy think-tank jobs and don't really have to worry about surviving President Bush's recession like the rest of us. \r\n\r\nI'm as big a liberal as the next guy, but I've been out of work for a year now and my unemployment insurance is long gone, and frankly, I couldn't give a flying fuck about the plight of the Iraqi people. I've got my own problems. What the hell have they ever done for me? Why should I subsidize their healthcare when I can't even afford my own?\r\n\r\nI was against this war and this president from the beginning, and since nobody seemed to want to listen to me, I really do not feel any personal responsibility for the plight of the Iraqi people. I say let the Republicans choke on their mistakes in Iraq--or better yet, let Fox News, Halliburton and the Trireme Group pay for the costs of reconstruction. If these clowns love privatization so much, let's see how they handle it. Then, after they fuck up, let's let the U.N. handle the rest of it, so we can bring the troops home and start worrying about dumping Bush and fixing the economy, healthcare and the national debt. \r\n\r\nIf Packer and Berman (and their ilk) still want me to support $87 billion for Iraqi reconstruction, how about they pony up $87 thousand for my own personal financial reconstruction?&quot;\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.salon.com\/opinion\/letters\/2003\/10\/28\/dazed\/index.html\r\n\r\nIt seems clear that the Angry Left is appealing in part to pure selfishness.

Ritchie is helping to investigate the suicides in Iraq. &quot;Is there something different going on in Iraq that we really need to pay attention to?&quot;\r\n\r\nIn the past seven months, at least 11 soldiers and three Marines have committed suicide in Iraq, military officials say. That is an annual rate of 17 per 100,000. The Navy also is investigating one possible suicide. And about a dozen other Army deaths are under investigation and could include suicides.\r\n\r\nThe numbers suggest the rate in Iraq is above normal. Last year, the military services reported 8 to 9 suicides per 100,000 people. The Army rate is usually higher, 10 to 13 per 100,000.
