If you are looking for strange indicators that the surge strategy in Iraq is working, I suppose this ought to go in your file. From Breitbart.com.
Two women described as mentally disabled and strapped with remote- control explosives—and possibly used as unwitting suicide bombers—brought carnage Friday to two pet bazaars, killing at least 91 people in the deadliest day since Washington flooded the capital with extra troops last spring.
Brig. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, Iraq's chief military spokesman in Baghdad, said the women had Down syndrome and may not have known they were on suicide missions, but gave no further details on how authorities pieced together the evidence. He also said the bombs were detonated by remote control.
Two things come to mind. One is that the insurgents are obviously scrapping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to recruits. The other is that our enemies in Iraq display a kind of purity: pure evil. No trace of humanity, nor so much as a molecule of scruple can annoy them. To bind two Down syndrome women with remote control bombs and send them to die along with a lot of innocent people, that suggests hearts so black that they annihilate all light that reaches them. When deciding whether or when to withdraw from Iraq, we might ought to take that into account.
