BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraqi insurgents destroyed a police station in a sustained attack with mortars and a car bomb, the prime minister's office said as attacks around the country left 14 people dead.

The assault was launched with the detonation of a booby-trapped car near the police post in Jorf al-Sakhr, 60 kilometers (35 miles) south of Baghdad.

The blast and a subsequent mortar barrage killed three officers and wounded several more, Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said in a statement, which described the attack as having taken place in the previous 24 hours.

Police in the area, a hotbed of insurgent activity, said they were carrying out a security sweep in nearby towns and villages and had arrested 75 suspects.

2. Dear Leader will set them off against the troops by Bombing Iran

Dear Leader is known well in business circles for his reverse-midas touch.

I wonder if Daddy can help George when he turns the entire Middle East into "The Gates of Hell?"

I doubt it.

If we're blessed to get The House, we MUST begin the Impeach proceedings, with extreme prejudice. :thumbsup:
