Massive Baghdad bombings that left 155 dead may also destroy fragile Iraq govern
« on: October 26, 2009, 04:00:09 PM »

Grieving Iraqi women look at the damaged government buildings Monday a day after suicide truck bombings in Baghdad killed 155.

"The vast carnage from Sunday's twin blasts in Baghdad - three government buildings destroyed and 155 people killed, including 24 kids at a daycare center - could bring down Iraq's fragile government, experts said.

Hundreds of distraught mourners poured into streets around Sunday's bomb site, railing against politicians and the security forces that failed to keep two suicide truck bombers from penetrating the heavily-guarded heart of the capital.

"How many victims will it take to convince the government that it has totally failed?" yelled Hameed Salam, a former army officer who now drives a cab.

The 24 slain children were on a bus leaving a daycare center, officials said. The bus driver was also killed.
Six kids survived with injuries."

So, what?  Reject the government and embrace the people who killed these Iraqis?

I think the draw down of troops was a bit premature.

Make sure you tell them all about the excellent pay (up to $25k for one successful project), training opportunities, and shared hatred of America, and that the only real skill necessary is pushing a button

And if successful, they only have to do the job one time.  Why do I get the feeling that DUmmies would be failures as suicide bombers?  Is it because they seem to be failures at everything else?
