Rough, But No Surprise In Middle East

The so-called “insurgents” are back to old tricks this morning after finding out that it does not pay to take on the Marines. Coordinated car bombs went off in Iraq targeting police stations. Another car bomb has detonated in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia targeting – apparently – the (a?) general security building. None of this is unexpected, though you might not get that from some of the Old Media coverage. A Danish businessman who was kidnapped has been murdered by his captors and his body found. I would also note that appeasement did not help the Spanish, Dominican, and Honduran military as their base was hit by mortar fire last night. On Fox this morning, at least, there was coverage of the Iranian connection to all of this, and some discussion of oil for food scandal and a hint of oil for terrorism. Stay tuned, things may happen fast over there in the next few days.
