This is outrageous!
By KIM GAMEL, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD - Remote-controlled explosives strapped to two mentally retarded women detonated in a coordinated attack on Baghdad pet bazaars Friday, Iraqi officials said, killing at least 73 people in the deadliest day since the U.S. sent 30,000 extra troops to the capital last spring.
The chief Iraqi military spokesman in Baghdad, Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, said the female bombers had Down syndrome and that the explosives were detonated by remote control — indicating they may not having been willing attackers in what could be a new method by suspected Sunni insurgents to subvert stepped up security measures.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the use of mentally retarded women as suicide bombers proves al-Qaida is "the most brutal and bankrupt of movements" and will strengthen Iraqi resolve to reject terrorism.
The first attack Friday occurred at about 10:20 a.m. in the central al-Ghazl market. The weekly bazaar has been bombed several times since the war started but recently had re-emerged as a popular place to shop and stroll as Baghdad security improved and a Friday ban on driving was lifted.
Four police and hospital officials said at least 46 people were killed and more than 100 wounded. Firefighters scooped up debris scattered among pools of blood, clothing and pigeon carcasses.
About 20 minutes later, a second female suicide bomber struck a bird market in a predominantly Shiite area in southeastern Baghdad. That blast killed as many as 27 people and wounded 67, according to police and hospital officials.
One witness who declined to be identified told AP Television News that the woman said she had birds to sell, then blew herself up as people gathered around to inspect them.
The attacks were the latest in a series of violent incidents that have been chipping away at Iraqi confidence in the permanence of recent security gains.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said about 70 people were killed in both attacks, which he said were committed by terrorists motivated by revenge and "to show that they are still able to stop the march of history and of our people toward reconciliation."
Police initially said the bomb at al-Ghazl market was hidden in a box of birds but determined it was a suicide attack after finding the woman's head, an officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information.
Pigeon vendor Ali Ahmed, who was hit by shrapnel in his legs and chest, said he was worried about his friend who disappeared after the blast about 40 yards away.
"I just remember the horrible scene of the bodies of dead and wounded people mixed with the blood of animals and birds, then I found myself lying in a hospital bed," he said.
Navy Cmdr. Scott Rye, a U.S. military spokesman, gave lower casualty figures, saying seven were killed and 23 wounded in the first bombing, and 20 killed and 30 wounded in the second. He confirmed both attacks were carried out by women wearing explosives vests and said the attacks appeared to be coordinated and likely the work of al-Qaida in Iraq.
Associated Press records show that since the start of the war at least 151 people have been killed in at least 17 attacks or attempted attacks by female suicide bombers, including today's bombings.
The most recent was on Jan. 16 when a female suicide bomber detonated her explosives as Shiites were preparing for a ceremony marking the holiday of Ashoura in a Shiite village near the Diyala provincial capital of Baqouba.
Involving women in fighting violates cultural taboos in Iraq, but the U.S. military has warned that al-Qaida in Iraq is recruiting females and youths to stage suicide attacks because militants are increasingly desperate to thwart stepped-up security measures.
Women in Iraq often wear a black Islamic robe known as an abaya and can avoid thorough searches at checkpoints because men are not allowed to search them and there's a dearth of female guards.
In January 2005, Iraq's interior minister said that insurgents used a disabled child as one of the suicide bombers who launched attacks on election day. Police at the scene of the bombing said the child appeared to have Down syndrome.
A bomb hidden in a box of small birds also exploded at the al-Ghazl market in late November, killing at least 15 people and wounding dozens. The U.S. military blamed the November attack on Iranian-backed Shiite militants, saying they had hoped al-Qaida in Iraq would be held responsible for the attack so Iraqis would turn to them for protection.
The U.S. military has been unable to stop the suicide bombings despite a steep drop in violence in the past six months, but the explosions on Friday were the deadliest in the capital since Aug. 1, when some 70 people were killed in three attacks, including 50 in a fuel truck explosion in Baghdad.
Rae Muhsin, the 21-year-old owner of a cell phone store, said he was walking toward the New Baghdad bird market in southeastern Baghdad when the blast occurred, shattering the windows of nearby stores.
"I ran toward the bird market and saw charred pieces of flesh, small spots of blood and several damaged cars," Muhsin said, adding he will no longer visit the Friday market. "I thought that we had achieved real security in Baghdad, but it turned that we were wrong."
The number of Iraqi civilians and security forces killed in January fell to at least 609, an Associated Press tally showed, the lowest monthly death toll since December 2005, and continuing a downward trend since the fall. The figure as tabulated by Iraqi officials in the ministries of Defense, Interior and Health was slightly lower, at 543.
U.S. forces, meanwhile, have expanded offensives in central and northern Iraq, seeking to build on gains against al-Qaida in Iraq in the past year. But the latest campaigns also have driven up the military's death toll after months of decline.
Two U.S. soldiers were killed Thursday — one by a roadside bomb in Baghdad and another by a rocket or mortar attack on a convoy support center south of the capital, the military reported.
The attacks raised to at least 39 the number of U.S. troops who died in January — well above the 23 in December but still sharply lower than a year ago. In January last year, 83 soldiers were killed in Iraq.

That's a pretty inventive use of tards I'll give them that. In the US we just elect tards as president.
BTW if this article doesn't prove to you that there's no way in hell the US could ever "win" this thing then I don't know what will. |

Whenever you hear someone say that we can talk to Iran and diplomacy is the route to a peaceful resolution with Iran. Inform them that there would no Islamic suicide bombers if it were not for this regime in Iran. Every suicide bomber can be placed at the feet of Iran. Without this Iran you have no suicide pilots slamming planes into the WTC.
This Iranian regime is the Father of it all, they created this in Islam. |

No, but the Islamic suicide bomber is an Iranian invention. This regime, since 1979. That is my point. I did not say or mean that every suicide bomber is Iranian.
That is something to keep in mind, something to know. Something to throw into the mix when wondering about Iran or what they are about. They have given the world one single thing new... The Islamic suicide bomber. That is it. Oh, and Hezballah(s) spread throughout the world.
The Iranian regime is not a single bit better than al Qaeda. They are equals. |

I don't think Iran invented the suicide bomb, it has a long history.
They do provide funding. |

Iranians are Persian Shiites. Al-Qaeda are Sunni Arabs.
Trying to say they are the same thing is just absurd.
And this attack is further proof that we should have never gone into Iraq. This type of shit never needed to happen. It's been said a million times, but one more couldn't hurt; there was no al-Qaida in Iraq before we invaded. |

Perhaps I did not make myself clear.
I did not say that Sunni and Shia are the same.
When I said the "same" I meant terror organizations. They are both Terror organizations.
NC-Stern-Mark,
In Islam Iran created the suicide bomber. I did not mean just "suicide bomber". Islamic suicide bomber. |

It's "In Islam" when it is sanctioned and it is viewed as martyrdom. These people are carrying out Martyrdom Operations. They are going to Paradise. |

No, but in religious terms it's much the same. Both the Japanese Kamikaze and the Martyr believe the purpose is for their God.
In Islam however suicide is strictly forbidden so you did not have this type of thing in history with them, not until Iran. |

What he meant was Iran sanctioned the practice. Put the official Islam stamp of approval on it and guaranteed a ticket to Paradise.
It was reported Iran had as many as 40,000 ticket holders lined up. |

And, they exported it to Lebanon... the Marine Barracks, the Embassy, and numerous other targets. Mostly Jewish targets in Lebanon. That was the tipping point when the Sunni world fell in line with the practice. It was exported then to Israel in the 1990's. Then exported to NY and Washington DC, and Pennsylvania. |

This is not new. The Palestinians have done this.
The Muslim world should have condemned this stuff in the 1980's. But, the main target were the Jews and it was successful. Then we get hit and suddenly some Muslims whisper it is bad. Too late, now Muslims themselves enjoy the suicide bomber. |

You mean the "regime" that NEVER would have been, if the CIA didn't help overthrow Iran's elected Prime Minister in a bloody coup in 1953? That never would have been if we didn't train the Shah's SAVAK death/torture squads? The only reason these radical fundies are in power now, is because of how bad things were. There was a revolt by the people!
And all because British Petroleum's Iranian oil profits were at "risk"....

There are many countries where the U.S. involved itself and in the end an Islamic Terror State did not break out.
These folks are responsible for themselves and although you believe this to be our fault you have no evidence whatsoever that that is true. For all you know this would have happened regardless because this movement in Iran would have been fought by any government within Iran.
Also, if the people of Iran did not want to live like they are, then they would topple the government. They know how. They have done it before, although this government is much worse they still could do it.
The "coup" was accomplished by Iranians themselves. We sent no troops. We did nothing really. It was the Iranians themselves who did this. Had they not done it than it could not have been done. |

How did our interference in Indonesia work out??? The Suharto regime killed a million "political enemies", and its Army massacred 30% of the population of East Timor. All done with arms we provided and paid for???
Success!!!

What about our own neighborhood? Not a single success story in all of South America. Every-time we've "involved" ourselves it has ended in tragedy and failure.

You are a fucking LIAR.
The CIA paid for pro-Shah street demonstrations, and trained the Shah's SAVAK death squads.
In 1976, Amnesty International declared the CIA-trained SAVAK "security force" as having the worst human rights record in the world. It revealed the CIA taught them how to torture....
:opps:
The point is, that as bad as the current regime might be, and as hated as it is by a percentage of the Iranian population, it is nothing compared to the period of horror visited upon them by the United States Government.

If Iranians tortured each other it's because they wanted to. Just like they do now. We did not teach them torture they have been doing it for a few thousand years before the birth of our own nation. Persia is an ancient land with an ancient people.

There were German suicide pilots as well. They called it off because it took to many lives and airplanes to destroy any single target.
There was also a Polish suicide-air-wing but they lost all their pilots in practice and never became an effective fighting force. |
