Oh those silly, silly, talibans; the Baghdad chapter is acting out because the Afgan chapter is getting more of the kenyan's attention.

Send them some more colored beads and trinkets.

Is this a dry run of things going to happen here at home? Those cute muzzies with their quaint religion of love and tolerance.

This is so sad...

“Rules of engagement” are getting women and children killed...

These murderers could have been taken out long ago when they were shooting our troops from the protection of the mosques...

"Any guesses on when Zero will comment?"

The militants are just reacting to the anger remaining from the Bush actions.

He will use this attack and claim it was done to dissuade him from signing the global warming treaty, and bravely sign it anyway saying we don’t negotiate with climate change deniers or their heavy-handed tactics. They just need to get out of the way, it’s bene decided, and no amount of car bombs going off in Iraq by the climate change deniers will stop him from doing the right thing.
