Headline not bike related, but worth discussing

This is the headline from the Associate Press about the most recent suicide bombing:

Mentally retarrded women used in bombings
Had to change the spelling of the second word.

BAGHDAD - Two mentally a little off today women strapped with remote-control explosives — and possibly used as unwitting suicide bombers — brought carnage Friday to two pet bazaars, killing at 73 people in the deadliest day since Washington flooded the capital with extra troops last spring.

The coordinated blasts — coming 20 minutes apart in different parts of the city — appeared to reinforce U.S. claims al-Qaida in Iraq may be increasingly desperate and running short of able-bodied men willing or available for such missions.

But they also served as a reminder that Iraqi insurgents are constantly shifting their strategies in attempts to unravel recent security gains around the country. Women have been used in ever greater frequency in suicide attacks.

The twin attacks at the pet markets, however, could mark a disturbing use of unknowing agents of death.


For those of you with family in Iraq or even those concerned with what's going on, this is what our troops are facing. That's why I say they are not prepared for the enemy. We fight using old techniques and rules, but the enemy is willing to use innocent people. Mentally a little off today women strapped with bombs??? What the hell type of scum does this??

the kind that extreme left wing secular progressive commies living in the US passing off as goverment officials want to have happen!

I think in every war there's been that type of abuse used. children in Vietnam is a good example.

BD,
You hit the nail on the head!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you 100%. We had better wake up here (USA) or it's gonna be 9-11 all over.As usual our guys have to fight with one hand tied behind their back. Oh dammit, this is politics again.Sorry.

Oldbiker, so you are condoning liquefying men,women and children, Some of then innocent.
Wouldn't that make us just as heartless and morally deficient as the people we are fighting?

[oldbiker]

TC, Maybe I'm still mad as hell because of 9-11. I was living in Palm Bay Florida at the time and middle eastern students at FIT had a party to celebrate the deaths of over 3ooo of our citizens. Maybe I'm sick and tired of hearing how bad we are treating the people who are killing our troops. Maybe I'm afraid that some bleeding heart liberal will want to give them a hug and say it's all OK. Maybe I'm just a tired old Marine that's tired of our country being sh*t on by a bunch of radical islams.

Well put Oldbiker, cuddo's. Give them bastards the napalm dude.

[oldbiker]

Thanks Doc, didn't mean to piss anybody off.

[dogdoc]

young whipper'ur snappers dont know what we know oldbiker.

Hey Oldbiker, I don't think you pissed anybody off. Not me anyway. I was just wondering how you felt about the moral consequenses of wiping out a whole country.
You to Doc, how do you feel about wiping out innocent civilians along with the terrists?

[biscuitsngravy]

Yes, the bad guys did the same thing in South Vietnam, but they were not as frequent or lethal as now. I don't think nukes are the answer, but thousands of special equipped .50 cal. sniper rifles would be effective. Anybody remember Carlos Hathcock?
