60 die as car bombs rip through crowded areas in Iraq

April 15th, 2008 . by TexasFred

BAGHDAD (AP) - Car bombs and a suicide attacker struck crowded areas in Baghdad and former insurgent strongholds to the north and west of the capital Tuesday, killing nearly 60 people and breaking a recent lull in violence in the predominantly Sunni areas.

The attacks were a deadly reminder of the threat posed by suspected Sunni insurgents even as clashes between Shiite militia fighters and U.S.-Iraqi forces continued elsewhere.

The U.S. military condemned the bombings and said they appeared to have been carried out by al-Qaida in Iraq.

The first blast occurred in Baqouba, 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, when a car parked in front of a restaurant exploded just before noon across the street from the central courthouse and other government offices.

The minds of our military leaders are still as sharp as ever I see, “The U.S. military condemned the bombings and said they appeared to have been carried out by al-Qaida in Iraq.”, not that this is a funny story, because it’s not, but that line cracked me up, who the hell else do you suppose it could be??

I am going to point to this fact one more time, al-Qaida was NOT a part of Iraq when Saddam was in power, al-Qaida came to Iraq because WE are there and Iraq is where they can easily kill as many Americans as possible, as well as disrupt the process of rebuilding Iraq, thereby making the USA look worse to the world, as well as costing us additional BILLIONS of our tax dollars as we attempt to rebuild a nation that is still in a state of civil war

How do you suppose we are going to stop this Debacle in Iraq?? Can we kill ALL of the insurgents, and those that operate in the name of al-Qaida??

No, we can’t, not any more than we can kill every Muslim in the world today, we don’t have the will or the GUTS to prosecute an action of that nature, but the Islamic insurgency does, and they prove that statement nearly every day, every time an IED goes off, every time a homicide bomber hits the trigger and kills innocent men, women and children, they prove that they are the animals many of us accuse them of being…

How do you fight that mindset?? How do you stop an insurgency with believers that will strap on a bomb belt and walk into a crowded store, restaurant, Mosque or any other public place, and will kill untold numbers of people in an effort to hammer home their demented and sick political agenda, and do so with NO remorse?? How do you stop that?? By fighting it with a war of Political Correctness?? When your enemy has no morals, no decency and certainly no conscience??

When some brainiac at the Pentagon, or one of our military think tanks comes up with the answer to that question, then we’ll know how to end this war…

And as long as we have a POTUS that is more concerned with NOT offending our enemies, as opposed to killing them, we will just have to learn to tolerate these occasional indiscretions from The Religion of Peace

And NONE of the current crop running for POTUS are going to be ANY better than the one in office right now…

    We need to get out of Iraq or take the gloves off and fight to win. Why keep losing American lives and spending billions of dollars with nothing to show for it.

    Fred, I’ll go one step further and declare that the current clowns…er…candidates for POTUS are worse that George Bush concerning fighting the war on terror. MUCH worse.
