Smash has a good post on the attacks by Islamist nutjobs on the Iraqi Police Forces today.
There is more
here. If you wade through the leftist bias, you find a story of incredible hate and sadness. Too bad the AP still refers to these assholes as "Guerrillas". Why not "terrorists" or the even more accurate "murderers"?
A small amount of truth sneaks through the minders at the AP:
The mounting attacks aim to wreck the centerpiece of the U.S. plan for defeating the militants: building a strong Iraqi security force able to bring some calm before elections slated for January. Doing so is also a key prerequisite for any withdrawal of American troops.
These attacks said to be a way to drive the US out of Iraq, but they only keep the US troops there because of the security issues raised for the new government. If the "Guerrillas'" only problem is the US presence, then they should be doing everything they can to insure that the elections go on without incident.
This verse is appearently not part of the "Guerrilla" training:
Never should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by mistake, (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a believer, it is ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation to the deceased's family, unless they remit it freely. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged to a people with whom ye have treaty of Mutual alliance, compensation should be paid to his family, and a believing slave be freed. For those who find this beyond their means, (is prescribed) a fast for two months running: by way of repentance to Allah: for Allah hath all knowledge and all wisdom.[Qur'an 4:92]
Read your Qur'an
assholes.
Over 150 people died in the last few days, the vast majority of them people that were going about the business of living, shopping, looking for work, providing for their children and trying to make their country a better place to live. That was their crime... that was their sin... for that they paid with their lives...
