Al Qaeda proves once again that there is no future in their noxious ideology:
A youthful suicide bomber killed at least 23 people Wednesday in an attack against relatives of Col. Faisal Ismail al-Zobaie, a U.S.-backed police chief and former insurgent who has turned against his onetime comrades.
Zobaie, the police chief of Fallujah in Anbar province, said a bomber of about 12 years of age attacked the funeral of Zobaie’s uncle. He said insurgents had seized his uncle, a school principal, on Tuesday, demanding to know whether the police chief was his nephew.
Abu al-Laith al-Jubori, a leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, asserted responsibility for the attack at the funeral. He said in a telephone interview that the group was “proud that we carried out this operation by one of our youngest soldiers…”
First the mentally ill, then teenage women and now pre-teen boys. Apparently the “lions of the desert” have run out of bewildered Syrians and restless Saudis.
It’s hard to plumb the depths of such depravity.
Does the Washington Post happen to employ editors? Does anyone read these stories before they’re printed? Does anyone think about the words that go in their papers, or do they just print whatever the hell the reporters choose to write and let them spin it however they wish?
Let me give you an example. Say I take your 12-year old daughter or son, strap a bomb to them, and convince them to go into a group of people. Then either they set it off on their own at my instigation, or I set it off by remote control.
Should the cops find me before you do, what will they charge me with? Abetting a suicide? Or the murder of your child?
How in HELL are these called “suicide” bombers?
It’s worse, possibly. Reports are contradictory, but I’ve got a friend in Iraq saying they used an 8-year-old detonated remotely in a bombing south of Baghdad. However, the 3ID PAO told me this morning that the woman was “reported as 16 to 18 years old.”
Any truth to women hiding bombs on their babies?
That’s a twofer that won’t do much to advance your culture.
Cap’n sir, they can’t be running out of men. They never had any to begin with. Real men would lay down their lives to protect the women and children. Those savages think we are weak because of this..bad on them.
The reporter can get AQI leaders on the phone for comment? Hmm…
