A suicide bomber killed 57 young Iraqis waiting in line to sign up as Iraqi Army recruits on Tuesday morning in Baghdad.
At least 127 other were injured in the blast.
The bombing is still another indication that IRAQ is far from being the stable nation the mainstream media in the United States has been reporting.

Per the mainstream media:
"There obviously are still people who want to derail the advances that the Iraqi people have made toward democracy," White House spokesman Bill Burton said.
"But they are firmly on track. And we're confident that we're moving toward the end of our combat mission."
He said the Obama administration was confident a government would be formed.
"The fact that there is a lot of competition for who is going to be running that country is a good thing."

They can try to spin Iraq as a success story all they want, the bottom line is that the country is ruined and will most likely remain a mess for another decade, if not longer. God forbid the country descends into another 2006-2007 civil war where hundreds are killed and beheaded on a weekly basis in the capital alone. Then there is Kirkuk in the north which happens to be a racial and ethnic ticking time bomb with sunni arabs, kurds and turks vying for power and control over the oil rich reason.
Operation Iraqi Freedom= EPIC FAIL
Thanks for your comment and sharing your knowledge on the Iraq situation.
