The headline:
U.N. HQ in Baghdad Car Bombed – FLASH: Large car bomb attack at U.N.’s Baghdad HQ. [Winds Of Change]
What, they don’t have JERSEY BARRIERS in Baghdad? I mean, the White House wasn’t even a war zone 15 years ago when I remember them wheeling in the big concrete barricades to stop any potential vehicular bomb from getting anywhere near the building. I note with some twisted humor that the Salt Lake City Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building seems engineered to prevent drive-ups, with large decorative, but obviously stout and concrete, pylons. I was just thinking the other day, “Wow, someone driving a car bomb would have a heck of a time getting near that building. Maybe a motorcycle bomb or something could make it, but how much damage could something that small do?”
Important buildings should have a perimeter of Jersey Barriers preventing casual drivers-by from unloading a car bomb into them. Even if they’re temporary. I wonder which U.N. genius dropped the ball deciding not to Jersey-Barrier this puppy?
