"they'll never win a battle or take a country with suicide bombers"

True, but that is not the purpose of the bombers. The bombers are a PR stunt meant to be cited by the western left and MSM as evidence of the futility of the war on terror. Without this tactic what would Iraq look like today? Without the left's successful undercutting of American resolve would the Iranians dare to continue so brazenly their nuclear plans. As the article notes Iran is surrounded by massive amounts of American power. Due to these internal political limitations GWB will never commit these forces against Iran until it is too late (as might already be the case).

Suicide bombers distract us, propaganda both Islamic and MSM cow us while the Iranians continue their work. Unfortunately time is not on our side. Suicide bombers don't win battles but in this case will significantly play a part in the nuclear deaths of potentially millions of westernerns.

I disagree.

This is all much ado about nothing. PR only, not lasting. It all reminds me of Reagan. How the same media constantly called him stupid, ineffective, old, etc, etc. And in the end, it's all forgotten and he's considered a great prez.

This will be the same. This war is a big win. 5, 10, 15 years from now, all the suicide bombers will be considered a stupid, ineffective, worthless tactic.

Like Kamakazis in WWII.
