However, the speed of our invasion of Iraq does now have the Arab world in 'shock and awe'....some of the fundamentalists believe that Allah grants the victory to those he favors - and the quick defeat of Iraq has them gobsmacked.

Looks like those terrorist weren't quite as shocked, awed and gobsmacked as you thought Missy. Why don't you head to the kitchen and fix your hubby something nice to eat.

Bombs kill at least 40 in Casablanca (Al Qaida suspsected)

MSNBC.COM ^ | 5/17/03 | MSNBC AND NBC NEWS

CASABLANCA, Morocco, May 17 — A series of suicide bombings rocked the Moroccan city of Casablanca Friday night, U.S. and Moroccan officials said. At least 40 people were killed and 100 others injured in the attacks, which bore many of the hallmarks of an al-Qaida operation. At least one of the suicide bombers may have survived and may be in Moroccan authorities’ custody, senior administration sources told NBC News.

*snicker* If you can't argue the message, denigrate the messenger?

Now, from the same article:

A Moroccan official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there were probably foreigners among the victims. U.S. officials said they did not believe any Americans were among the dead or injured...Speaking on Moroccan television, Sahel said 10 of the dead were the bombers....Most of the victims were Moroccans, he said.

First of all, they don't seem to have been targeting Americans. Perhaps this is a change in strategy - that remains to be seen.

Secondly, I've already said there would probably be more terrorist attacks, and that if they could be easily stopped, Israel wouldn't have any.
