TWO FEWER NUT JOBS IN THE GENE POOL

Suicide bombers, one in a car and another on foot, blew themselves up at the gates of two U.S. military bases yesterday, wounding 61 American soldiers but failing to inflict deadly casualties on the scale of recent attacks in Iraq. ..

In yesterday's suicide attacks, most of the soldiers were slightly hurt by debris and flying glass, indicating that massive defences -- sand barriers, high cement walls and numerous roadblocks leading to the entrances of bases -- have paid off for American troops occupying Iraq.
