Word of what we’re up against:
Insurgents in Iraq detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle with two children in the back seat after US soldiers let it through a Baghdad checkpoint over the weekend, a senior US military official said Tuesday.
The vehicle was stopped at the checkpoint but was allowed through when soldiers saw the children in the back, said Major General Michael Barbero of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.
“Children in the back seat lowered suspicion. We let it move through. They parked the vehicle, and the adults ran out and detonated it with the children in the back,” Barbero said.
(Sigh) Murderous bastards. And no, I have no kinder words.
But you know… I’ve yet to see any blog on the left side of the street, even so much as MENTION this, as if they’re afraid to do so. Doesn’t take much to understand why. They might be forced to admit they’re wrong about Iraq.
