Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

AQ uses two Down’s syndrome sufferers as martyrs in suicide bombing attack that killed 73 in Baghdad
Pathetic b-stards. Via the Daily Mail:
Al Qaeda fanatics plumbed sickening new depths yesterday when they turned two women with Down’s syndrome into human bombs to kill 70 people in Baghdad.
The unwitting pawns were apparently fooled into wearing explosive vests which were then detonated remotely by mobile phones as the women mingled with crowds.
The two blasts caused carnage at two busy markets in the Iraqi capital’s deadliest atrocity since last spring.
U.S. military spokesman conveyed the sense of outrage over the depravity of the masterminds.
"They have shown their true demonic character," said Lieutenant-Colonel Steve Stover.
Involving women in fighting violates religious taboos in Iraq, but extremists are recruiting females and youths to stage suicide attacks in a desperate attempt to beat tightened security measures.
Women can avoid thorough searches at checkpoints because of Islamic sensitivities, and four have carried out suicide bombings since November.
Yesterday’s attacks are the first ever to have involved anyone with Down’s Syndrome.
But, you know, maybe if we just reasoned with them and tried to understand them, maybe AQ wouldn’t resort to perpetrating such despicable acts …

ST, this sounds like the last days of Berlin or Tokyo. Hitler and Tojo seemed to not care either.
Are we really surprised?
Honestly.
They strap bombs to babies …..
They need to be eradicated from the human existance.
And yet, the left continues to believe (and would have US believe) -that all we really need to do is “talk” to these people. And “cut a deal” with them.
These are the same people that the left say “Build hospitals, and bridges and streets and schools”. I pray this display changes the hearts of the left in this country and proves to them that we are dealing with true evil in this fight. – Lorica
Dream on, Lorica. They’re “freedom fighters.” Besides, who are you to judge this rich and varied culture that has so enriched us? And what about the Crusades?
This won’t make a dent in the thinking of the moral relativists. If they refuse to call evil by name by now, they never will. The last thought through their minds as the jihadis hack through their necks will be “This is George Bush’s fault! If he’d signed Kyoto this wouldn’t be happening.”
I don’t remember Thomas Jefferson using the mentally handicapped for such things. As far as the Crusades goes, I figure that was just pay back for the invasion of Spain, but I could be turning into a moral relativist.
– Lorica
Ah, good call, Lorica, bringing up Thomas Jefferson. For as some on the left have told us, people like Washington and Jefferson and Adams were terrorists too. Please don’t attempt to contrast their scrupulous attention to the legal niceties of the day with the Islamists’ disregard for every standard of civilization, that would be, ummmm, cultural imperialism. And possibly hate speech.
Anyway, were they not inflicting hideous death upon civilians, I’d find it amusing that AQ now has to recruit from the short bus. It would be refreshing, just once, for one of the left’s moral midgets to suggest that a) this is wrong and b) it isn’t George Bush’s fault.
Yeah, I know, fantasyland.
Well Steve, I believe that this is the end of AQ in Iraq. I expect a huge outrage from the people of Iraq over this. Last week there was a big push on Mosul, and it is my hope AQ got their collective asses beat down. Apparently not soon enough to stop this sad event tho. – Lorica
Very good point, Lorica. After all, it is far more important what the average Iraqi thinks about this, and how he and she responds, than what our home grown appeasers and traitors and cowards think. Those losers have so marginalized themselves that they’ll be lucky to get even a footnote in history.
More significantly, they will have actively fought to preserve a brutal dictatorship and extend suffering. What a legacy to be proud of!
Absolutely Steve.
