Desperate Al-Qaeda Resorts to Using Retarded Women in Attacks
Saturday, February 2, 2008 at 11:37AM Two suicide bombings that killed more than 70 people in Baghdad yesterday received a lot of attention from the main stream media. In fact, it’s the most attention the MSM has given Iraq in some time because when it comes to our liberal friends in the media, good news is no news.
Some people are pointing to the bombings as an “Ah ha! We told you Iraq was lost” moment but that is far from the truth. Earlier this week the DOD reported that al-Qaeda’s signature terrorist tactic, the car bomb, was down dramatically in January with only 3 country wide, while there were more than 80 in January 2007. This is important because al-Qaeda has moved into a defensive posture and is unable to conduct their larger and more lethal car bombings. Essentially, al-Qaeda is operating from a position of weakness rather than strength.
The most obvious fact taken from these horrific suicide attacks today is that al-Qaeda is losing in Iraq so badly that it must resort to using MENTALLY RETARDED WOMEN to carry out its suicide missions. One of yesterday's suicide bombers was known as the "crazy woman" and the other had an "unspecified birth disability." They were blown up via cell phone detonation and it is believed neither woman knew about the plan to blow them up.
Aside from the demonic quality of these acts, what does it say about al-Qaeda's operations that they must either fool or coax victims into carrying out their attacks? It says that al-Qaeda has lost its grip on Iraqis and become increasingly desperate, unable to recruit new "willing martyrs". Secretary of Defense Robert Gates suggest it also means al-Qaeda is having trouble recruiting foreign fighters.
DID YOU LEARN THIS FROM THE MSM?
Attacks in Iraq are down to a two-year low and the extremists' ability to "intimidate the populous is clearly diminishing. Iraqi citizens across the country are actively engaging the extremists."
The Iraqi Security Forces are growing in its capability and professionalism and more than 1,800 new police officers graduated in one ceremony last week with 2,000 graduating in another.
Infrastructure and services continue to grow and improve.
There is no question that al-Qaeda is still trying to win in Iraq, but they can only do that if U.S. troops pull out before the entire country is ready to defend itself. Iraq is getting there, and both Iraqis and U.S. troops have made incredible strides toward securing freedom for generations to come.

There is a reason Al qaeda is being broadly rejected in the Arab World, this is it. We and the Iraqi people will defeat this abomination.
The military, Republicans and Iraqis are already onboard with the idea of defeating the enemy. Only al-Qaeda, pacifists and Democrats stand in the way of freedom, democracy and peace in Iraq.
Note: "Iraq vows to "crush terrorists" after 99 killed " (Michael Holden, Reuters, today on yahoo.com news; featured front page article) -- not the U.S.A. this is a good sign.
""I swear on the blood (of the victims), we will achieve all our goals in securing a stable Iraq. We will continue to ... crush the terrorists and target their strongholds," Maliki said in a statement."
See it is not, we will crush the U.S.A. forces, but he is referring to the terrorist group(s).
History: The flashpoint of World War One was the use of mentally challenged youth by the Serbian terrorist groups upon Austrian diplomats. Drugs were also involved, as well.
The story is kinda a WOW moment.
don't forget the U.N. security counsel, amy, they have condemn the insurgents also.
by the way has anyone heard what the security counsel has determined in regards to the Iraq situation since they were suppose to address that issue again at the end of december?
Amy,
The link below is to a cnn news story on how Iraqi forces are moving North to crush Al Qaeda in Mosul. But what broke my heart was that it appears the two women may have had down syndrome. I was just thinking about your post and the wonderfull story on how kids can enrich our world. If this is true, tricking women with down syndrome to become human bombs, what evil. May the United States and the Iraqi people destroy such villains.

Do you guys even know how many AQ's even exist.
What do you mean, mud? Do you?
"In the name of Allah, the compassionate, the merciful"
courtneyme109, don't blame Muslims. Al-Qaeda is not a group of Muslims. Iraqis and Muslims all over the world are rejecting the violence. It is apostacy and heresy, not Islam.
That's awful! Wow they really must be getting desperate!
Amy - it was a very, very, very simple question.
"Do you guys even know how many AQ's even exist."
My guess is a lot less than when the war started.
By the way, when you pose a question remember, question marks are your friends.
Thanks for the question mark advice, but the answer is you don't even know, or care enough to find out.
The answer is about 10,000 members scattered in cells throughout the world, and that's according to the Pentagon, you big bunch of fraidy-cats.
Do you have a link to that, mud?
A link to a question? It was a very simple question, Amy.

Here's a link for ya... but it's still a question, for you, and a simple one at that.
Amy - why can't you just answer a simple question on your own website?
mud, I'm sorry, how is "you guys don't even know how many AQ exist" a question?
Still can't find any official DOD links? You used Reuters and they didn't quote DOD sources, either.
If you want to actually ask a question, go ahead. YOu didn't ask anything in this thread.
