On Iraq the Model, Omar confirms the rumor about terrorists sending a retarded boy on a mission as a suicide bomber--he chickened out and they blew him up--and connects it to an attempt to kidnap his own mentally impaired relative. Omar's conclusion is hard to argue with:

What a huge difference there is between those who kidnap and use the mentally handicapped to perform their murders in cold blood and between the brave Iraqis who sacrificed their lives to protect their brethren. One story that is famous now in Iraq is about one brave Iraqi (A'adel Nasir) who saw a suspicious looking guy walking around a polling center in (Al- Hurriyah) district and soon the brave man realized that the suspicious guy was trying to commit a suicide attack; he ran towards him, wrestled him and knocked him down causing the bomb carried by the terrorist to explode, sacrificing his own life and saving the lives of the people standing in line at the gate of the voting center. It turned out later that the terrorist carried a Sudanese ID. Now, the school that hosted the voting center on the 30th carries the name of A'adel Nasir, as the Iraqi minister of education announced today.

The pathetic terrorists are breaking one world record after another in cowardice and insanity and this tells how bankrupt they're getting.

UPDATE: It occurs to me that these are the people whom Michael Moore, the intellectual leader of the Democratic Party, called the "Minutemen" of Iraq, who, he said were going to defeat the U.S. I suppose that at some point in human history there must have lived someone who was more wrong-headed about every possible issue than Michael Moore. Offhand, though, I can't think of anyone.
