Car bomb rocks Iraq
~BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A powerful explosion, apparently from a car bomb, went off Wednesday night in central Baghdad, killing 28 people and wounding at least 40 others, senior U.S. military officials said.
The blast virtually destroyed the Mount Lebanon Hotel and damaged a number of nearby houses and offices.
The explosion left a 20-foot crater as the hotel erupted into flames.~
I'd like to see the President spend more than two hours there, since it's SO SAFE!
