Meanwhile in the Land of "We're Winning"

More demonstrations of "joy":

A female suicide bomber wearing a vest packed with explosives killed 15 people in a town northeast of Baghdad on Friday, Iraqi police said.

Another 24 people were also wounded in the blast in the town of Muqdadiya, 55 miles northeast of Baghdad, in volatile Diyala province.

Police said the attack targeted members of the 1920s Revolutionary Brigades, a Sunni Islamist insurgency group which has recently begun working alongside security forces against al Qaeda.

Suicide bombings carried out by women are rare in Iraq.

There is something tragically laughable about that last sentence.

But then, what hasn't been a gigantic tragedy tinged with comedy in Iraq since March 2003?
