Personal Iraq Diary, 12 April 2004

"There is no way to describe the last three days in detail. On the 9th the attack started with a car bomb going off across the river in 2-3's FOB. They say it blew up a fuel truck. We were sitting in the CP watching the news when BOOM. It felt like the building flexed. I was on QRF and was in the vehicles with the other guys in 2 minutes. Between RPGs, car bombs, and mortars I lost count at 30 in about an hour and that continued for 8 hours non-stop."
