A senior Argylls officer said last night: 'With bayonets attached, they finished off the enemy who had not run off.'

Never underestimate the fighting power of a man in a snappy Argyle sweater.

'The injuries received by our troops were shrapnel to the hand and shrapnel to the groin.

'Both the injured guys are back with their units and doing fine.'

Obviously, neither was a Kerry!

Whatever.

This will blow over more quickly than the naked prisoners at Abu.

Intelligence gathered since the bayonet charge suggests it shocked the militia fighters, who expected the outnumbered Scots to flee.

I wonder whether it was the bayonets or the bagpipes which caused them to flee?

"Whenever legal conditions permit, kill terrorists on the spot (do not give them a chance to surrender, if you can help it). Contrary to academic wisdom, the surest way to make a martyr of a terrorist is to capture, convict and imprison him, leading to endless efforts by sympathizers to stage kidnappings, hijacking and other events intended to liberate the imprisoned terrorist(s). This is war, not law enforcement."

I believe the Scotts have it right.

'Nuff said.

A brave band of Scots charging the enemy with edged weapons....looks like some things never change....and thank God for that, too. William Wallace would be proud.

Military sources say the militiamen miscalculated the response from the original group of soldiers.

And this be my prayer: "May they continue to do so until every one of them is feeding raisins to Allah in Hell!" Amen.
