Dogs Used As Suicide Bombers In Iraq

Many Iraqis are disgusted by the practice.

How can they use these lovely pets for criminal and murderous acts?" asked Rasha Khairir, 25, an employee of a Baghdad stock brokerage. "A poor dog can't refuse what they are doing with him because he can't think and decide."

Despite a common prejudice in the Muslim world against dogs, which are considered unclean, even the most virulent clerical opponents of the U.S. presence in Iraq have decried the use of canines as proxies in the war.

Abdel Salam Kubaisi, a spokesman for the Muslim Scholars Assn., a hard-line Sunni Arab clerical organization sympathetic to insurgents, called the practice un-Islamic. "Our religion does not permit us to hurt animals," he said, "neither by using them as explosive devices nor in any other manner."

Meanwhile, our own wardogs are being used to save lives.

Quick, someone notify PETA. Didn't they get outraged over a suicide donkey last year in the West Bank? They protested the death of the donkey, didn't give a damn about the people killed.

Meanwhile, using mentally retarded people or children as suicide bombers to kill the infidel is still A-OK.

Wow...now I get it!

Things OK to blow up:
Men
Women
Children
Infants

Things NOT OK to blow up:
Doggies
Bunnies
Kittens

Whew. If they only would have clarified that earlier. Peaceful folks. Moral equals, and all that.

I'm against blowing all of those things up.
Except for the bunnies, obviously.

PETA is filled with morons. The group protested eating lobster in a tourist town up here in Maine.

It kind of backfired, though, as people thought the guy dressed in the lobster suit was an advertisement for a seafood restaurant.

The Russians did that in World War 2. They would train dogs to run underneath captured German tanks while carrying a payload. Then when the time came, they would put explosives on the dogs, set them loose against an an active enemy tank, and command detonate the mine [presumably through a wire since cell phones didn't exist then]. Easy, cheap and ruthless.

The Germans spent a bunch of time and money on making a miniature tracked vehicle, that was remote cable controlled and also carried explosives. They would drive it next to or under a Russian tank and detonate it, again through the cable. They lost the war partly because of diverting money into stupid but cool stuff like this. The Panzerfaust was way cheaper and much more effective.

DOGS! Now the left will take notice.

Someone better let the goats know it's safe to come back.

OK, their side uses war-dogs.

Our side has war-DOLPHINS! How cool is that?

It's a war; whatever it takes.....

Cry "havoc", and let slip the dogs of war?

So wait -- the terrorists put bombs on dogs, but we can't use dogs to intimidate prisoners at Guantanamo?

Just keeping track of all these rules we've got to abide by.

Mark_D,

The Russian use of dogs may have been "[e]asy, cheap and ruthless" but it was a spectacular failure. Dogs navigate more by smell than sight. The dogs they trained became more likely to seek out Russian vehicles, which smelled like the ones they were trained on, than German ones.
