Are strip clubs safe from terrorists?

Last week they found a whore house in Mosul, Iraq. The do gooders went in, shot and killed 3 prostitutes. No allied troops were involved. I have to wonder if these ladies were unveiling their faces?

Shia law actually allows for polygamy (harems). Because the law allows for this, it is beyond unexcusable for a woman to want sex outside of marriage. For a woman to even exhibit sexuality outside of marriage is unthinkable and unexcusable. This law even calls for the immediate execution (preferably through stoning) for prostitutes.
Actually, I think it was West Palm, wasn't it?

At the time, of 911, the response time had bothered me. Before 911, I remembered a story in The Herald where a plane's transponder stopped functioning and a fighter jet was there fairly quickly.
"I want to believe that bin laden and al-Qaeda were responsible for the 9/11 attacks, but now I have doubts. If they were responsible, I am beginning to think it was not without some knowledge of those impending attacks on our side. There are historical precedents for this occurring. Some evidence exists that FDR and Churchill were privy to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, but needed a catalyst to bring America into World War Two. In recent years, we've learned two startling and very alarming things from declassified information. In 1962, Operations Northwoods was a plan drawn up by the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The idea was to stage terror attacks----including the use of hijacked airplanes----and, if necessary, kill American citizens and then blame it on Castro's Cuba to justify our invading the island. Then there was the famous Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964." "Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!," by Jesse Ventura, p. 213.
I had thought Ventura was just a fake tough guy wrestler and the former Govenor of Minnesota, but he was also a Navy SEAL so maybe he isn't all acting. I found his book interesting, but perhaps if I didn't have such bitter tastes in my mouth it would have rung hollow.
I would think in this country the stip clubs are very safe because there are so many other targets, which would seem more inviting.
One could, and many do, take any event in human existence, and make a case for a conspiracy. Problem is, once the conspiracy "holes" are exposed, some STILL think there is one. An excellent example, Kennedy. All the "theories" have been shot full of holes, but yet, some still inject more into the event than there was.
That is half the fun. :)
"Teaching at Harvard in 2004, I decided to focus my next-to-last class on the Kennedy assassination. . . . My guest speaker was David Fetzer, a University of Minnesota Duluth professor and former Marine who's an expert on the ballistics evidence that shows it had to be more than just Oswald shooting."

Anyway, there are two extremes: those who believe all conspiracies and those who deny all conspiracies.
" In 2002 Captain Ward Boston, JAGC, U.S. Navy, ended his own silence on the work of the court of inquiry, saying its findings were intended to cover up what was a deliberate attack by Israel on a ship it knew to be American. He has prepared and signed an affidavit (pdf) in which he claimed that Admiral Kidd had told him that the government ordered Kidd to falsely report that the attack was a mistake, and that he and Kidd both believed the attack was deliberate. He wrote, in part:
' The evidence was clear. Both Admiral Kidd and I believed with certainty that this attack, which killed 34 American sailors and injured 172 others, was a deliberate effort to sink an American ship and murder its entire crew. Each evening, after hearing testimony all day, we often spoke our private thoughts concerning what we had seen and heard. I recall Admiral Kidd repeatedly referring to the Israeli forces responsible for the attack as "murderous bastards." It was our shared belief, based on the documentary evidence and testimony we received first hand, that the Israeli attack was planned and deliberate, and could not possibly have been an accident. '
Still, there is no record of Kidd ever publicly expressing such opinions.[17]" ----http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty… ----
