Things That Make You Go Hmmmm
It appears that we've caught at least one of this morning's idiot bombers.
Brig. Gen. Mark Hertling of the U.S. Army's 1st Armored Division said police shot and wounded the man when he got out of a car and tried to hurl a grenade at a Baghdad police station. The car carried three mortar rounds and was packed with TNT, he said.
"He's a foreign fighter. He had a Syrian passport and the policemen claim that as he was shot and fell that he said he was Syrian," Hertling told a news conference.
Hmmmm.
He described the attacks as coordinated but said the coordination was not very sophisticated, extending no further than a decision by the various attackers to set off their bombs between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m.
"That's not professional, it's actually somewhat amateurish," Hertling said.
Inept second-stringers and benchwarmers....sounds like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel. That's the problem with homicide bombers.
After a point, they become a non-renewable resource.

Didn't kill him though.....which is good since dead people are so darned difficult to interrogate.
