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.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.

Oh, but then, you never were afraid

Oh, but it's alright with me now

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
