Jack Kelley has a positive column in Sunday's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on the Iraqi front. He notes that the suicide bombings are losing their effectiveness against Iraqi citizens and US soldiers. Operation Iraqi Freedom seems to be turning the corner especially when critics of the Bush White House, like Hillary Clinton visits Iraq and says the Iraqi are pushing ahead. Awesome!!! My favorite part of the column was the description of the hapless bombers/terrorists in Iraq. Take a look:
Lt. Col. Jim Stockmoe, chief intelligence officer for the First Infantry Division, roared with laughter as he recalled the increasing missteps of the resistance in Iraq in an interview earlier this month with British journalist Toby Harnden, writing for The Spectator.
"There were three brothers down in Baghdad who had a mortar tube and were firing into the Green Zone," Stockmoe said. "They were storing the mortar rounds in the car engine compartment and the rounds got overheated. Two of these clowns dropped them in the tube and they exploded, blowing their legs off."
The surviving brother sought refuge in a nearby house, but the occupants "beat the crap out of him and turned him over to the Iraqi police," Stockmoe told Harnden, "It was like the movie 'Dumb and Dumber.' "
"The nine election day suicide bombers averaged about three victims each, a strike rate so bad that Allah might soon start rationing the virgins to show his displeasure," Harnden wrote.
