Blowing Up Retarded Women For Allah
While well-intentioned Americans continue to argue over the
morality of using the interrogation technique of waterboarding
even in rare circumstances against some of the worst beings to
ever walk upright on the planet, al-Qaida in Iraq continues to
find new ways of plumbing the depths of human depravity in its
bid to prevent Iraqis from being free.
A while back, one of their more inventive methods of instilling
fear in local populations involved ripping people's faces off,
literally, with a piano wire. But in any given block of time, you
can only rip off so many faces. In other words, it's slow and
tedious work, far less efficient than bombings that take out
scores at a time.
But since the surge, bombings have decreased dramatically and
al-Qaida has been on the run. So it had to find a way to
infiltrate the vastly improved security in order to continue the
mayhem that would in turn create political fallout and
hopefully prevent stability in the country.
Obviously inspired by Allah, creator of the infinite universe,
someone in the organization must have had a eureka moment.
If we're going to step up the bombings again, someone
reasoned, we need people who will arouse less suspicion than
the usual martyr types. So how's about we go out and find
mentally defective people -- those with Down syndrome, for
instance -- and preferably women, and strap bombs on them
and send them into crowded marketplaces. No one will suspect
a thing and we can quickly slaughter a slew of innocent Iraqi
citizens and show the world we're still a force to be reckoned
with.
So that's what they did the other day in Baghdad, sending two
explosive-laden, mentally retarded women into two separate
bazaars and detonating them via remote control. Whether the
two women knew they were about to become liberated martyrs
for the Islamist cause, or whether they could even begin to
comprehend the concept, we may never know.
It was a brilliant plan, except for one thing. It will probably
only work once because now that it's been done, mentally
defective people will come under the same scrutiny as everyone
else. But with divine inspiration from above, they may well
think of new depravities to forward their goals.
In the meantime, perusing Barack Obama's official campaign
homepage, one sees his position on Iraq:
"Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from
Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month,
and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq with 16 months.
Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent
bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our
embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base
within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the
region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda."
"If al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq?" You mean,
they actually might not do that when all U.S. troops get yanked
out of the country? In what alternate universe does Mr. Obama
reside?
The only thing that has put a significant dent in al-Qaida's
campaign of carnage has been a surge of more troops, not less.
From where do the thought processes of the leftist antiwar
brain come? Why would you cease doing what has obviously
been working and then do the opposite, which would result in
an ironclad guaranteed failure, leaving Iraqis to the tender
mercies of the world's most despicable creatures and the
security of the entire region far worse off?
If there is a war worth fighting in this world, it's one to defeat
the fiendish fanatics who will stoop to anything, including
blowing up the mentally retarded and ripping people's faces
off, in their twisted quest for power. How can any American
presidential candidate not understand that?
Al-Qaida's not much for that whole election concept, but they
have to be wishing they could get into some booths and pull
some levers for the American with the funny sounding name.
