Iraq blast kills 6 in oil rich Basra

A road side bomb attack in Basra, Iraq killed 6 and injured 12 yesterday March 5th, 2011. The controversy is that the U.S Army successively let the bus carrying the bomb go through after a detailed search early Saturday morning. As of now there are 50,000 U.S soldiers in Iraq at the moment and are said to leave at the end of 2011. The U.S soldiers are playing a non-combat role but are still under attack everyday. This raises the question should the United States remove all 50,000 soldiers when their is still warfare going on in Iraq. The Iraqi military is not near capable of controlling the entire country. Signs show that there still will be fighting and it wont stop for a long time.
