After You, I Insist
The Saddamite regime is having trouble finding local volunteers for suicide missions.
According to Western intelligence, Iraq has failed to find its own volunteers for suicide missions against coalition troops.
Whitehall security sources have told the BBC they have reliable information from inside Iraq that a trawl for volunteers amongst the ruling Baath Party failed to find any takers.
No surprise there. Ba'athists are more into killing other people than themselves. They have a solution, though.
According to the sources, a decision was taken to use remotely-detonated bombs in vehicles without the drivers' knowledge.
That's probably how they did the job in Najaf on Saturday, according to the article.

And this is what passes for comments on your site?
Guess I'll visit Atrios instead.

So, comments are the highlight of a website for you? And if they're absent, you have to go to see Atrios?
Sorry you don't have a life.
