April 7, 2003 -- NEAR BAGHDAD - The captain spotted the two men, in the garb of suicide attackers, sneaking through the culvert, using the dark-green water to hide their movements as they edged closer to the American armored vehicles. He tossed grenades at them.

72 virgin express is really crowded these days !:)
Now all these martyrs should endure congestion in the heavenly express way.

'"That stupid, little . . ." Carter said. "He wouldn't give up."'

oh well!

It's nice of us to try to prevent their casualties, showing sometimes incredible restraint, but don't want it to be at our expense, or for the really bad dudes to be able to fade into scenery to do damage later.

Re #3

He is way too nice, which won't be appreciated by this fellow in his express trip to Allah.

Yeah, it's better to kill these nutballs so they don't interfere when the Iraqis try to rebuild a normal country.

I think many of these poor fools are fanatics or retards that have come from Jordan, "Palestine", Yemen, and Syria.

There'll be less trouble back in those countries if we weed these airheads out now.

Well, at least they won't run out of virgins.

You do know that they're virgin goats, right?

Carter was the hero who led the effort to get that wounded Iraqi woman off the bridge, under fire. In fact, this is the third time I've seen his name in print. Hmm. It would seem that the embedded journalist is close by -- maybe riding in Carter's back seat :-)

Why do they want Virgins?

[Junior]

...in the garb of suicide attackers...

They have special uniforms, now?

[T'wit]

There are only 72 virgins, total. Paradise isn't all that big, y'know. All the martyrs have to stand in long lines in the hot sun and share the virgins. And as soon as they get in the virgin quarters and do their thing, the virgin says you got her pregnant and demands that you marry her. She wants your money and she wants to go shopping and she makes you move furniture and take out garbage and clean the garage and it goes on forever.

</tongue in cheek>

So the girls won't notice how little their courting tackle is.

[Savage Beast]

The more of these "martyrs" removed from the gene pool, the better.

[Gracey]

LOL. Never knew an American man interested in 72 virgins. LOL

[Gracey]

Sounds like you have previous experience with 72 virgins ;-)

[Savage Beast]

Message to Carter: Next time, don't bother to shout, "Kif!"

"No need to let something like that live."

"I'd like to get my boys on the ground and get these [guys]," Nadig told Carter by radio.

"Then let's get these [guys]," Carter replied.

Our soldiers can use grenades, but we better not show them using profanity!

[m1911]

Interesting method

Lob grenades at them
Fire shotgun into water
Shoot one in head
THEN shout for them to stop

Not that I mind, but it's kinda funny that they paint this as if the good Captain was trying so hard to be peaceful.

Combat Shotgun ping!

Hey Captain, nice shooting!

Semper Fi

If you've got 72 virgins waiting impatiently on you why fight well, just go ahead and get blown away and enjoy your rewards.

Why do they want Virgins?

Because Mohammed spoke highly of the pleasure he got after raping non-consentually exploring love-making with them. (One of his wives was 9 when they consummated... they were married when she was 6.) Muslims thus recognize this pleasure as heavenly, and look forward to participating in the fun themselves.

Of course, not all of them can be expected to have the self-restraint and patience to wait, so they're allowed to gang-rape Western girls (non-believing infidels!). France, Australia, and the Netherlands have been having problems with this lately.
