Hopefully after they’re finished with this crack resource training they can bring some Iraqis, Israelis and Palestinians over and teach them “how to spot suicide bombers”. No offense, but they don’t seem to be too good at it.
Surely the $25 million will be the key in finally being able to spot those pesky suicide bombers and put an end this once and for all.
