1 one has to wonder, will we ever be able to have a major holiday again without threat alerts, warnings, and heightened tension? And, if not, at what point will we all become apathetic and the wornings become so routine that they barely evoke headlines? (We may be there now.) Thoughts? Swing by my site. -W

2 Excellent question. Maybe those innocent bystanders get the 72 vigins (yeah right) but I'd like to think this suicide bomber ended up kissing Allah's ass right before Allah himself turned around and kicked him into an open pit and even though he didn't kill his intended target, I'd like to see the other terrorists laugh but more likely considered it a great action since so many others were killed. And you can bet they filmed this man saying goodbye to his family, getting in a car full of bombs, smiling away, the car exploding from a distance as they pass by. There is so much they could do to stop this but that would mean no vehicles on the road except for military and police. Anyone else on the road is a terrorist - kill it. Cindy

3 You only need to kill one (1) to get the girls. This is why we need more boots ont the ground! Needed them 18 months ago. Gen Zinni and the rest of the Navy were right, Rummy was wrong. The car bomb was a success because of all the coverage it got in the MSM; which as an American is a shame.But the MSM has been antiAmerican for at least 45 years, whats new? Rod Stanton Cerritos

4 Chad, the entire videotape of this suicide bombing is out on video but I have yet to find it. Cindy

5 Rod, It's really not up to Rumsfeld. If the commanders on the ground, the Generals running the show and the Joint Chiefs think that we have enough troops, it goes no further than that. If the commanders on the ground and the generals on the ground and other places running the show said we needed more boots on the ground, it would then go to Runsfeld and he would make sure that the commanders got what they wanted. If they aren't asking, there is no way he's going to know either way. I've seen tons of interviews with those on the ground and every single one of them said, we have enough troops. If we don't have enough troops, sir, that info would get right up there to Rumsfeld and he'd waste no time in getting more troops to Iraq. The problem is with those on the ground. Cindy

6 I find the decision of the main Sunni political party to boycott the elections troubling but, I think that since they legally regisitered to run, their party should still be placed on the ballot. And, they should be made aware of same. That way they will be pressured to save face on election day by getting their people to the polls. From what I understand "face" is extremely important in the Islamic world and this concept could be used as leverage.

7 So now the members of the religion of peace are killing each other. Okay. May they have a successful day.
