Well, from all of the previous bombings...it was always jets that came from above...so when this turboprop noise was heard...they all sat there and laughed, right before they died.
As for their comment: "Bring those Americans here to fight hand to hand," one of Sadr's followers said before the latest outbreak of fighting....if your mindset is from the 3rd century, there isn't much to fight for. These dimwits haven't learned nothing in at least 1700 years. But the positive news...they are right there at the temple and have a Imam to pray over them as they die. Can't ask for anything better before you run off with 74 virgins (not).
I believe the allotted virginal number is 72? Unless you are a Democrat.
