Ah yes, the 'noble warriors of Islam',

sending the handicapped to do their dirty work.

You know, even for a bunch of murdering, terrified of women, self-immolating neolithic goatherds with dire need of Cialis, they've fallen low.

And, of course, the Harry Reid "We've already lost!" clowns are just drooling over this. CF notes:
With tedious predictability, bloggers on the political left jumped with self-satisfaction at the opportunity to write about the attack, "proof" in their eyes, at last, that the "surge" of American forces into Iraq, which they so reviled, was a (blessed) failure.

However, he also notes:
First, it tells us that al Qaeda in Iraq recognizes that attempts to use male suicide bombers and vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), their preferred method of suicide attacks for those seeking martyrdom, are no longer effective. These attacks fail because the combination of coalition military forces, Iraqi security forces, and neighborhood militias, known as "concerned local citizens" (CLCs) creating a security system that increasingly works, and makes it very unlikely that these preferred attacks will succeed. There is also some speculation that the influx of would-be foreign suicide bombers into Iraq is drying up.

Today's attacks also tell us that al Qaeda in Iraq is getting very desperate in seeking the high-casualty attacks that they so value. They were forced to scrape the bottom of the proverbial barrel, and use not only women (which they'd prefer to subjugate), but mentally disabled women at that, suggesting that finding willing volunteers is becoming ever more difficult.

It's interesting, both that some lefties are so friggin' happy about these attacks and that the 'noble warriors of the faith' actually believe this will either terrify or delight the Iraqis.

Bah. Both groups deserve each other.
