Suicide bomber kills 41 at Baghdad university.
“A suicide bomber struck Sunday outside a college campus in Baghdad, killing at least 41 people and injuring dozens as a string of other blasts and rocket attacks left bloodshed around the city. Most of the victims were students at the college, a business studies annex of Mustansiriyah University that was hit by a series of deadly explosions last month.”

My condolences to the families of the dead and injured.
This will escalate until we are gone — let’s go.
February 25th, 2007 at 3:39 pmZooey, I agree.
February 25th, 2007 at 4:24 pmBriseadh na Faire,
It’s sad this thread is so quiet.
February 25th, 2007 at 4:32 pmVery sad indeed Zooey,….
If I light any more candles my little motor home will go up in smoke….Blessings and Peace be with our world….The sadness of this the latest in the war’s make me scream..Stop, stop the madness…We must push for Impeaching all this administration.
February 25th, 2007 at 4:42 pmOh, for some SMART BOMBS that can TAKE OUT these DUMB Suicide BOMBers! These creeps think they are going to allah’s heaven by killing innocent bystanders–THEY ARE GOING TO SHAITAN in GEHENNA!!!!!
February 25th, 2007 at 6:25 pmIn the other news, the US is bombing the hell out of Baghdad. Not as much of an abomination as a suicide bombing, I know, but still…………
February 25th, 2007 at 7:36 pm#6 Will we get a body count from those bombings? Will it be more than 41? We’ll likely never know.
February 25th, 2007 at 8:51 pm#7: Based on past averages, I would guess about 600 – 800 “suspected” insurgents and Al Qaeda elements and about 13 civilians that the suspects were using as “human shields”….
We are so fu*ked. Even if we “win” (whatever that means), we have lost. We have long lost everything that made America great and we lost that some years ago. The mass murder of Iraqis, by our hand, does not even register on our psyche. We are all dead inside.
While we can never be defeated militarily on any battleground and will remain the most destruction-capable force in the world, we are, I think, witnessing the last throes, if you will, of the once great American Empire.
When the people do nothing except watch from the sidelines like disinterested spectators while their house is being burnt down, they have no business expecting anything different. I don’t think Bush has done anything that we did not deserve and in spades.
February 25th, 2007 at 9:26 pmWhy aren’t you reporting that the bomber was a WOMAN? afraid the NOW hags will come after you, or worse yet, old unshaven hippy woman? LOL
see yahoo news.

Stick to your day job curveball.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:34 pmSeriously though, what’s up with that? The bomber was a woman, even yahoo reported it. Why can’t TP report the WHOLE story, the truth? OMFG, I am SO disappointed.
February 25th, 2007 at 10:57 pmRuben Jaquez, do you feel better when you post personal attacks?

This isn’t about the f*cking bomber, ballslobber, it’s about the VICTIMS.
Is it WORSE if the bomber was a woman?
February 25th, 2007 at 11:00 pmTeabagger, I am not sure what the point of your ranting is? That women can suicide bomb? Great, that makes a whole lot of difference. Are you Jason Hendler? Misogyny oozes from your pores.

February 26th, 2007 at 12:22 amI see the bad troll is back. Perhaps, ballsbusted, if you were to read the article that TP referenced at 2:25 pm, you would see that it did not mention the gender of the bomber. The article which did specifically point to a female bomber was posted on Yahoo tonight at approximately 8:30 pm.
So what does it mean that a woman killed those innocent students? Only that being a bad person is not gender related.
Now, I’ve done your research for you again, so you can tuck your tail between your legs and run off to hide, like you did last night.
Oh.. and whether my legs are hairy or not is totally irrelevant to this topic and could be construed as a personal attack, something I know you personally abhor.
old hippie woman,
ballslobber is deathly afraid a girl is going to blow herself up around him, and he’ll get girl guts and splinters all over him — pretty powerful stuff, you know. Extra deadly.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:32 amNo doubt, Zooey! Especially if she happens to be menopausal.. I know he’s afraid of old hippie women.
February 26th, 2007 at 12:35 amI just learned something new about Islam tonight (just when I thought I knew it all).
Want to learn with me? Type “thighing” and Islam into google.
Thighing:
65.4 You can marry (and divorce) little girls who have not yet reached menstruation age.
Our prophet married Ayesha at age 6 to comply with this aya. However due to her tender age he had to restrict himself to thighing before she reached age of 9.
Thighing is defined by Islamic scholar Khomeini in “Tahrirolvasyleh” fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990 as follows:
“Thighing is a means for an adult male to enjoy a young girl who is still in the age of weaning; meaning to place his penis between her thighs, and to kiss her.”
The following is from a committee of muslim ulema answering the question:
“the Prophet, the peace of Allah be upon him, practiced “thighing” of Aisha – the mother of believers – may Allah be pleased with her.”
