Yes, it is true. The most convincing evidence to date that the radical Muslims have lost the war is contained in this story. http://www.abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=4226818 Can you imagine it? Iraqi insurgents wired up some mentally retarded women to explode them by remote control! This is convincing evidence the insurgency is lost. These are the desparate tactics of a movement in its death throes. What do you think of this story and its events?

I've always know these people are sick but this is just something else. Despite what anyone thinks about the legitimacy of the war, those actions send out a dark messege about what sort of people we are against. While they run to their Mosques because they know that we have the decency not to attack them there, they are using mentally disabled people as human bombs, an action that will suruely send you straight to hell if you are religious and beleive in the judgement of God/Allah. Now would be the time for decent Muslims to take to the streets and condemn those sorts of tactics. Yet we see none. That is the biggest shame

Actually, there have been stories concerning the success of the American 'surge' that tie that success to the fact that everyday Muslims are getting sick and tired of the fighting and are helping to push the insurgents out of Iraq or to make peace. This is a very brave thing to do. These insurgents seem to actually be twisted killers who just enjoy the killing. This being the case, the Muslims trying to get the insurgents to stop fighting are very brave. My hat of off to them.

That is extremely brave to do that in Iraq. But why don't we hear it in the UK, and the west. We know that the Muslims are a vocal minority here, because of the way they demonstrated in London. The US has a significant minority also, and the same goes for other European countries. For the Western Muslims to condemn these actions, would do them a world of good because it would prove to everyone that they are not part of that 'brain-washed cult' I keep hearing the ignoramuses call Islam. These western Muslims are safe to say what they want, as is their right in democratic nations like ours. Yet they still fear insulting Islam by condemning the extremists. If it was me, I would want to make it as clear in no uncertain terms that people who use retarded people as human bombs don't represent my beliefs / values.

We could only hope that they are losing. I feel it just shows how immoral and inhuman and diabolical they are. And to think they do it in the name of Allah! People in our country need to pay attention to these tactics and realize we are not fighting against people who "play fair". It is truly scary.

I agree we are not fighting against people who 'play fair'. The problem I have trying to explain this to people is they don't believe me. More incidents like this and people will believe me. This is why I say the insurgents have lost. The battle is not over, but the handwriting is on the wall for people who know how to read it.

For now it looks like they are losing... however if one of those anti-American liberals pulls us out of Iraq before the job is complete then they will have won, just as happened with Vietnam. These are acts of desperation, and these Religious Fanatics are even going against their own religious teachings when they involve women and children in their little war. However it is so much nicer to have someone else blown to bits instead of yourself, and anyway, they ran out of virgins a long time ago, so what is the profit in dying for your beliefs if you can get someone else to do it for you? It just proves even more what cowards these terrorists are, and further demonstrates that it is NOT God who is the inspiration for these idiots. That pretty much narrows the field as to who really is behind the violence and hate these terrorists have caused and committed. The trick is going to be when the Iraqis are finally so fed up with terrorism that they start eliminating everyone known to be terrorists, and when they are all either killed or driven out by the Iraqis themselves. I think that day may not be far away, as long as we can keep the enemy here at home at bay come the next election.

I'm pretty certain the Iraqi's themselves are already turning on the insurgents.

Its been plain since the beginning of the Iraq war that the terrorists could not win. Their atrategy was illogical. At the beginning the Iraqies hated the Americans wholeheartedly. Any and all Arabs were the Chosen People. Then the Insurgents true colors began to show through. They began to kill their own People indescrimately. The Insurgents are realising the war will not be won by the injudicious slaughter of people on both sides! But are they bright enough to do anything about it?

Are they bright enough? Good question in that they are brillant at what they do. Whether or not they can apply their intelligence to a different course of action remains to be seen.

This does not show that this is nearing an end to anything. No, it is showing that they have found a way to kill more people without killing themselves, and without arousing any suspicion. I would say this is possibly the beginning of a rise in terrorist attacks not a decline. They are getting more obscene in their tactics, but they are keeping themselves safer. Shalom~Adoniah

On the short term this tactic of using mentally handicapped people as remote control bombs does have the advantages you mention. However, using helpless people this way is a tremendous strategic mistake that will turn the insurgent's fellow Muslims as well as the rest of the world against them. Old Mao use to say that the gurilla fighter is a fish that swims in the ocean of the people. The fish is dependent on the ocean. Without the ocean to give it life, the fish will die.
