Five car bombs & a 60-year old suicie bomber

[zenith-nadir]

1) "Five car bombs and two mortar rounds struck the capital's Shiite Sadr City slum Thursday, killing at least 160 people and wounding 257 police said. Soon after the onslaught, Shiite militants fired 10 mortar rounds at the Sunnis' holiest shrine in Baghdad, the Abu Hanifa mosque in the Azamiya neighborhood, killing one person and wounding 14." Associated Press

2) "A Palestinian grandmother blew herself up in the Gaza Strip lightly wounding three Israeli soldiers, in the first suicide attack claimed by Hamas in almost two years. The mother of nine and grandmother of 41 became the oldest Palestinian suicide bomber at the age of 57." AFP

Is is just me or are these suicide troops just plain nuts? Imagine targeting civilians on purpose with not one, or two or even three....but five car bombs. And imagine brainwashing a mother of nine, and grandmother of 41, to become a suicide bomber. What kind of woman/mother/grandmother would do that?

It's insane and gives me no hope for the future of Iraq or the Palestinians.

It's a tactic that under the right conditions can be effective.

Ah you are not thinking about it right try "Imagine targeting heretics"

And imagine brainwashing a mother of nine, and grandmother of 41, to become a suicide bomber.

Hmm not a bad idea if you want someone the other side is not going to register as a threat straight away.

What kind of woman/mother/grandmother would do that?

One who thinks there are things more important than staying alive.

So many heretics..so little time.

A grandmother? Come on, seriously. Can you imagine any grandmother waking up, getting dressed, and walking towards a bunch of soldiers knowing full well she's going to blow herself up? It takes alot of programming to make someone do that.

Under the right conditions a cost effective weapon too. See sept 11.

Baby carriages have been items of suspicsion for a long time.

Your incredulity makes you weak.

Rectum breathers and typical of primitives.

The Center of Gravity for the Mahdi Army, and some of the central Shia militias, is Sadr City. This is no surprise, that some factions (I presume Sunni, don't know) would consider engaging in the deep battle, and start to attack the Baghdad Shia population at it festering core.

More to follow. If the US backs anyone in Iraq, I think it should be the Sunnah and the Kurds, as the Shia factions have shown their hands.

And sadly everyone wants to kill everyone in Iraq.

"BAGHDAD, Iraq - Militiamen grabbed six Sunnis as they left Friday worship services, doused them with kerosene and burned them alive as Iraqi soldiers stood by, and seven Sunni mosques came under attack as Shiites took revenge for the slaughter of 215 people in the Sadr City slum."

Now lets be fair I'm yet to run across any reports of the marsh arabs trying to kill anyone.

How many of those folks are left? Plus, they are far enough south to be away from the center of fighting.
