IDIOT

The Arab militant had been in Iraq less than 48 hours before he drove an explosives-packed vehicle toward a police station in an attempted fifth suicide blast on Baghdad's bloodiest day since Saddam Hussein fell.

Mouwafak al-Rabii, a member of Iraq's U.S.-appointed Governing Council, said the young, bearded attacker was a Yemeni-born Syrian national.

His bid Monday to blow up the police station in a southeastern suburb of Baghdad was foiled when police shot him and then pulled him from his crashed vehicle.

Al-Rabii said the wounded man, who has since had a leg amputated, was among more than 300 foreign militants caught by U.S.-led forces and their Iraqi allies.

"Interrogations show that these foreign fighters were coming to Iraq to settle scores with the United States," he said.

Does it ever occur to these pinheads they are being used? I mean, did it cross his mind to say to the guy who gave him the explosive-laden truck - "unh unh...you want them blown up...you drive the bleedin' truck"

Did he consider that if he can waltz into Iraq and within 48 hours be behind the wheel of that truck...well, just perhaps there isn't a whole lotta folks signing up for that line of work right now? That just maybe a whole bunch of guys who got there sooner, and are a little bit smarter had already said no to this gig?

And oddly enough, I think there is good news in this...precisely that the supply of suicide terrorists would appear to be less than the demand. I doubt this idiot got the job because he had a superlative terrorist resume and finely honed suicide bomber skills (I mean, he screwed up a suicide bombing, for crying out loud...) It appears he got the job for being one of the relatively few who are stupid enough to buy into such a dead-end franchise.
