I just read today where AQ got that guy in Anbar by having someone dress up as a common strete beggar and having him plant the bomb under his car.

Now, maybe we are doing this, but why don’t we have guys dressing up as beggars or invalids or whatever and hitting AQ, having them in the Waziristan and the NWFP and places like that. Wouldn’t a few guys like that be able to blend in, to gather information, to do some pretty heavy damage? Isn’t that what the CIA should be focusing on?

This attack reminds me of the attack on Massoud before 9/11. Also the Hariri bombing, even the attack against Bashir Gemayel in Lebanon going back to the 80s. It’s so easy for AQ or whoever to kill one guy and plunge a whole area into chaos.

The reaction among the sunnis seems to be one of revenge and wnating get AQ so perhaps this will strengthen our ties with them and harden the sunnis against AQ
