        The woman suicide bomber did it becuase 3 of her brothers died in
        Iraq fighting Americans.  Hahaha!  We killed all their
        manfolks already, and now only women are left.  We are
        winning!
        \_ Well, that's like cutting off her nose to spite her face.
           She should have bred children.

        This week's food for thought, brought to you by People's
        Republic of Berkeley: Did you know that many US pilots defected to
        communist Cuba?  South Korea pilots defected to communist
        North Korea? Iran<->Iraq pilots defected to each other?
        W Germany pilots defected to E Germany? Taiwan/ROC pilots

11/6    By a 2:1 ratio Americans think that the Iraq war was not worth it:
        http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
        \_ Bad conservatives. You should never change your mind, and you
           should never admit mistakes.
           \_ Most "tea party" conservatives still support the war. It is the
              weak-kneed moderates that have turned against America.

        \_ Duh.  the best thing that could ever happen to a country is
           the US declaring war on it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.
           the US winning a war with it.  cf: japan, germany, and now iraq.

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        \_ War is fought for the glory of generals and the economics of the
           war machine.  Looking for "justifications" for it is like looking
           for sense in the necronomicon.  Just accept it and move on.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

Residents of Falluja, an Iraqi city where the insurgency has been fierce, said they knew her family. Her brothers, they said, had been killed in conflicts with American-led forces. Hotel Bombings in Amman The woman, Sajida Mubarak al-Rishawi, had every intention of detonating h er own explosives-packed belt when she walked into the Radisson SAS Hote l last Wednesday night, investigators said, but was unable to succeed be cause she had left a crucial component - what one investigator called a "key" - in the car. While a videotaped confession showing Ms Rishawi wearing the disarmed su icide belt was being broadcast around the world, details about her life, motivation and role in the attacks that killed 57 people began to emerg e in Jordan and Iraq. One investigator said Ms Rishawi had not shown an y remorse during questioning. The official, who is closely involved in the case, spoke on condition of anonymity because of the work's covert nature. There was no way to indep endently verify the account provided by Jordanian officials. The American military said Monday that it had briefly detained a man in I raq last year with the same name as one of the Jordan bombers. But the m an, Safah Muhammad Ali, was released because he was judged not to be a t hreat. On Sunday, Jordanian officials announced that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the J ordanian leader of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, was responsible for planning the bombings of the three hotels, which included the Grand Hyatt and th e Days Inn. The authorities said that they had identified three Iraqi me n who killed themselves in the attacks, including a Mr Ali, and that ea rlier in the morning they had arrested Ms Rishawi, the wife of one of t he men. Ms Rishawi gave a videotaped confession that was first broadcas t in Jordan on Sunday night. "We went into the hotel," she said during the confession. In all the years Jordanian authorities have been chasing terrorists, they said, they had never before had a case involving a woman. But investiga tors learned of her involvement shortly after the hotel attacks, when th e owner of a house in Amman phoned the authorities to say that he had re nted an apartment to three men and a woman several days before the blast s - but that they had not returned Wednesday. The security official said that soon after the attacks, many people calle d in with possible leads, and it took time to sort through all the infor mation. But the official said agents quickly found that the apartment ha d been a safe house, rented by the four bombers. And so, the official sa id, investigators knew a woman was involved even before Mr Zarqawi anno unced that two men and a married couple were responsible. Investigators were not immediately sure, however, if she was dead or alive. The only videotape investigators pulled from security cameras was from th e Grand Hyatt Hotel, but it proved useless in identifying the suicide bo mber because the images were not clear. The security offi cial said the couple did not have any children. In her confession, she s aid that she lived in Ramadi, Iraq, and that her husband "planned everyt hing." The investigator, however, said she was a willing participant. She said that they rented an apartment and that her husband had put an explosive belt on himself, then on her, and taug ht her how to use it. She said she saw a wedding in progress when she tried to detonate her bom b "My husband executed the attack," she said in the videotape. According to residents in Falluja, Ms Rishawi's family belongs to the sa me tribe as Sadoun al-Dulaimi, the Iraqi defense minister. Jordanian off icials said one of her brothers, Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, was a senior aide to Mr Zarqawi.
