The War is Escalating

There appears to be little doubt Al Quaeda and its associated dead ender Islamo fascist organizations are mounting a broad attack on the West. From London to Baghdad, and now Turkey, the war is definitely escalating – as it must.

A suicide bomber is believed to have triggered a blast which ripped through a minibus in a western Turkish resort on Saturday, killing four people and injuring 14, officials and news reports said.

There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the blast, the second in the region within a week. Kurdish militants said they carried out a bomb attack on July 10 which injured 20.

Television footage of the scene showed the top of the minibus had been blown off by the force of the blast, which occurred around 10:30 a.m. (0730 GMT) as the vehicle travelled past a square in the town of Kusadasi on the way to a beach, local officials said.

Kusadasi, some 70 km (45 miles) from the port city of Izmir, is popular with Turkish and foreign tourists.

If we are closing in on them, ready to cripple them, they are going to come out swinging for one last attempt to break our will, our resolve. If they feel their support falling away, they are going to try and get it back.

The danger here is the Kurdish extremists. They need to understand bombings will totally destroy their causes in the eyes of the West. People who cannot demonstrate the self control to use a political process to address their concerns, and live with the results of, are not going to get a good hearing on their grievances.

UPDATE:

More indications the terrorists are acting like the cornered animals they are here at Politburo Diktat which has the news of continuous car bombings in Iraq.

The death toll is surprisingly low though.
