Because there is only one nest. It is called militant Islam.

Diplomacy's messy. We could not take him out without destabilizing the ME and Asia before 9-11. We did not actively support this monster after the Gulf War. We did set up and pay for the no-fly zones, helped the Kurds establish a strong community in the north. We did do everything possible to rally the world when we could - after 9-11, after it was clear to all what those like Saddam Hussein were willing to do. Our President made the effort. Our troops are making the sacrifices.

You're right about the Rats. They must have talking points for every disaster - ready for use the moment said disaster happens.

This car bomb was to drive a wedge between the UN and us. Look for the UN to pull out of Iraq. Whoever did this wants to slow the reconstruction..

I wonder if this will change the minds of some of the obstructionists in the UN about getting involved in Iraq. Specifically the French and Germans etc.

Not a chance. And count on the French to blame us.

My prayers are going out to those in the building. Prayers also to the Dust Off crews I watched picking up injured and those and guard now. Hope my kiddo stays safe if he makes a run on this one.

The only response you're likely to get to your mindless drivel is from other agitprop losers.

You responded.

Sigh---you're probably right. For a second I lost my head and thought the UN would stand up for what is right. Sorry.

The UN is the best 'friend' the Palestinians have.

If this is an attack on the UN the French will consider it an attack on themselves.

Hence the battlecry - "Man the desks, prepare for compromise!"

That's why we have to kill or capture them all.

Agree ---- but I'm for shooting first then asking questions. I'm afraid our "smart bombing" may be backfiring -- left too many of the slugs alive. Far as I'm concerned, they should level the whole damn country. sorry for the rant......but I'm tired of our military getting killed every day by these barbarians.

I see no one's talking about the elephant in the room--the Palestinians, who have used car bombs for years.
 

I am misspelling his name in major way but it could be the work of Muniyega who engineered the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon in 1983 and who is associated with Al Queda. Whoever/whatever clan or mafia did the bombing will get big backslaps and bragging rights in the "terrorist community". My theory is the UN means nothing to them. All they know and care is it's a bunch of foreigners operating there. So kill them for Allah.

CNN: Scene is not chaotic, military is patrolling, women milling around crying looking for their husbands. (sounds chaotic to me but CNN says otherwise, so it must be so)
