Their rhetoric is fucking pathetic. I am sure faux snooze will be using this in no time.

1. They can't say "car bomb"?

2. The HVBIED's

are more proof to "conservatives" that the insurgency is in its last throes. They have resorted to new and improved ways of killing our kids therefore they must be positioning themselves to throw in the towel.

3. I'm glad they put that 'homicide' in there to clarify things

It prevents the reader from getting the wrong impression and thinking this was caused by a non-homicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive device.

And that is why I am certain faux will run with it! Redundancy be damned!

5. It is because they won't use "suicide" to refer to these "dead

enders" but need a way to differentiate between parked and driven car bombs.

6. I always get a kick out of "improvised"

Can you buy roadside bombs, or car bombs, at the corner store or market?
