Probably not.
But luckily, The Surge is working so this can't possibly happen.

That's about as low as one can go. Cowardly bastards.

 

[zebracoy]

Yeah. They could be writing blogs.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Disgusting.

I didn't intend for this to become a political argument. Lucky you rode in on your white ass and saved it.

I took this thread to be about human decency.

I still take it as such.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

As do I.

As I noted on the other thread about this, the Taliban and the extremists who join the jihad are primitive people whose fanatic religious orthodoxy places little if any value on the lives of women. They certainly had no qualms about strapping bombs to a couple of women with Down syndrome.

I didn't think another bombing could make me cringe, but this one did. I don't even want to know what kind of ****ed up bastardization of Muslim was used to justify this. Horrid.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

I hope the story's true, and not some "Kuwaiti babies out of the incubators" tale. Otherwise, we're all just suckers. Again.

 

[Gomer]

You had me at foxnews.com.

But yeah, I think they can stoop lower. I mean, let's face it, they're freakin' terrorists. Isn't the point to infuriate people?

I give this effort two middle fingers up.

What amazes and frightens me about the jihadists are that the leaders talk about how honorable it is, how it's guaranteed entry to Heaven, etc., yet none of the followers ask "if that's the case, why the **** aren't you blowing yourself up, oh great leader?"

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Not to be indelicate, but was there enough left of these two women to know that they had Down syndrome? There aren't any quotes from anyone on the scene that I can find, and the conclusion is coming from the Iraqi military.
cran -- I think SNL once did a skit with Will Ferrell as OBL that touched on that very point.

They are killing innocent people. Without a shred of remorse.

There is no sliding scale of low . . . lower . . . lowest.

 

[Thanks for comin' out]

Probably not.

I like when people comment on this either way... you know, since they are there and everything.

 

[Fenian_Bastard]

Glad I could make your afternoon.
No, seriously.

 

[Ace]

Well, it doesn't hurt to be skeptical, especially since the story says that the bombs were set by remote control at the top and later says one of the women blew herself up as people crowded around her.

Possibly the girl's families? I'd have to think that they had families that know now they are dead, no?

Well, if the information is incorrect, that must make all the difference, in Fenian World. If it's two "normal" women committing a suicide bombing then it's no big deal.
