I Hate Being Right

Especially when being right means that people die:

Pakistani investigators are hunting an Al-Qaeda cell based in Islamabad that is believed to have carried out the bombing of the Marriott Hotel, security officials said Monday.

Investigators said they believed the attackers constructed the massive 600-kilo (1,300 pound) truck bomb at a safe house in the capital, since all lorries entering the heavily-guarded city are searched at checkpoints.

Dramatic footage of Saturday night's attack showed the attacker failed to get through a barrier when he crashed his explosives-laden truck into the hotel's security gates. At least 60 people were killed.

"Our focus at the moment is to track down the network in Islamabad which must have facilitated the movement and construction of the bomb," a senior official involved in the investigation told AFP.

Whether it was Al-Qaeda or not, we warned you, I WARNED YOU, that failure to do anything would result in more attacks and an emboldened enemy.  You failed to heed our warnings, pushed back against us when we went after them, and now 60 people are dead because of your lack of spine.

Maybe next time you'll listen?  Or are more people going to need to die before you do?
