Who says Americans have no sense of irony?

On 9 April the US State Department released a statement citing improvements in security in Iraq.

On the day it was released at least 52 people were killed as a battle raged in the centre of Baghdad. Although there were no American fatalities at least 16 US soldiers were wounded.

So far on the day after the announcement there has been a bomb attack inside the supposed safety of the "Green Zone" and a bridge over the Tigris was destroyed by a suicide bomber during the morning's rush hour.

Just think what the news would have been like had the security situation not been so greatly improved!
