Female Suicide Bombers Kill 27 in Iraq

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two women strapped with explosives blew themselves up at Baghdad's police academy on Tuesday, killing 27 people and wounding 32, the U.S. military said.

The women blew themselves up in a classroom filled with students, the statement from Task Force Baghdad said. No U.S. forces were killed or wounded in the attack, it said.

U.S. forces rushed to the scene to provide assistant, the statement said.

Iraqi police said one bomb exploded in a cafeteria, while the other detonated during roll call. Police Lt. Ali Mi'tab said the women were probably students at the academy, which is why they were not searched.

Five other female police officers were among the dead, he added.

How do you stop things like this?

You cut off their funding, raid their hideouts and nests, and kill them. But it's an incredibly difficult thing to accomplish.

"Harry S Truman new how to put an end - once and for all -"

I think General Pershing handled it far better. For every 50 of these islamofascist killers that we capture, we should take 49 of them, tie them to the local kabbah stone (or whatever other rock they worship), take bullets dipped in pig grease, shoot them each at least 10 times taking care to avoid a rapid death, toss their wounded bodies into a pit full of pig entrails, then slowly watch them bleed to death in agony as they contemplate how allah will react to their desecrated condition. All this should be done while some old Hank Williams Sr. tunes are blaring away. Afterwards, the lucky 50th man should be released to that he could go and tell all his islamofascist scum buddies what a bunch of bad-asses those Americans really are.

The only sure way to end these attacks is to break the enemies will to resist. We're not going to do that, and anyone who thinks thats an option needs to realize it's not in the cards. The best we can do is contain it, and break the links in the suicide support chain to temporarily disrupt it.

Might be interesting for someone to explain how the British succeeded in Malaysia.

Biggest difference I can see without looking too closely is the Malaysian insurgency was communistic, not religious.  But, the Malay insurgents did use murder and terror.

Unfortunately, the Islam minds don't find it damning at all. In their universe, women are vassals and vessels only.

Sad to say, but I can imagine Muslims in that area thinking to themselves "Well, at least he's not using men any more."

Another update from AP: "The military retracted an earlier statement that the bombers were women."

"Where was McNabb"

Been out with abdominal hernia surgery for 3 weeks.

The igg's have fallen to a dismal point even lower than my skins. Oh well, next year.

I heard the report that they use methamphetamine, which would make sense.

I support your gruesome logic, because it could possibly help. As MinuteGal pointed out - "they are from an alternate universe..." Your method should reach across all cultures to the idiots and those who follow them.

I think you're right. I've believed in a modified profiling. Check the Mid East looking men in greater percentages, but continue all the other profiling as they are now doing.

"The biggest error any American can make is to believe that radical Islams think on the same plane as Western minds. They don't. They dwell in an alternate universe."

And how do we get all those papers with 'TIMES' in their name to realise this?

"I heard the other day that they are making up a "drug concoction" for some of these killers to get them hyped up for their evil actions."

Like was done for the "hashishim?"

From whom the word "assasin" came.
