Terrorists get desperate

I have yet another success story from Iraq. I know, those of you who wanted us to pull out and declare defeat months, if not years ago, hate these stories. But, the report still needs to be shared and it’s not the kind you would call a success—at first. Over the weekend four suicide bombers killed 57 and wounded over 300 Iraqi citizens.

How do I find something positive with that kind of death and destruction? The suicide bombers were all women. Chief rebel rouser Muqtada al Sadr is seen as passé and General David Petraeus says his generals say Iraqis believe the war is over. This is a good sign. The culture in the Middle East is that a woman is defiled if she is frisked by a male and so the terrorists are changing things up in a last ditch effort to destabilize by frenzied killing. Only desperation causes this kind of behavior which tells us that once again we have reason to hope in Iraq. If I were the top dog, the solution would be simple—let members or our and the Iraqi military pat down any female at any time and explain that this is in direct response to the bombings. Stop evil men with one tactic and just as evil women with another and the message gets sent with each.

How about Obama? He was scheduled to visit wounded troops while he was in Germany. But, he didn’t end up there. McCain is taking shots at him. Is it a catch-22 for Obama?

Ankarlo also wonders if strip clubs are a form of art?
