Is Islam half empty, or half full?

Neither. It's half-assed.

[mdittmar]

This is outrageous!

Only half?

We've got time,we'll get the rest.

[randog]

Is it half finished or half begun?

Depends on whether you're an optimist or pessimist.

"..."Almost half of the city's mosques have been destroyed after being targeted by US air and tank strikes," al-Badrani added... I like our new rules of engagement." I do too! FINALLY we are not letting them hide/regroup/catch-a-breath/shoot-at-our-troops from mosques. THE GLOVES ARE OFF AND IT'S ALL OVER BUT THE CRYING AND MOPPING UP THE BLOOD"

RIP insurgents terrorists! You know that whole 72 virgins thing? it was a lie...they meant to say 72 "versions" of hell you will suffer. Buh Bye!!

[Hat-Trick]

Who the hell can possibly swallow this tripe?

I'm just a former Coastie, and never served in combat, but I find it very hard to believe that even one, let alone two of our tanker crews could be captured by these terrorists. All of hell would decend on those responsible.

I seriously doubt that we've had to destroy half the mosques. Here's a picture of the city with some of the mosques circled. Up top are the starting positions of our forces at the beginning of the invasion. Based on where the resistance was encountered, most of these mosques wouldn't have encountered fire, IMO.

[nonliberal]

It's about time. This "sitskrieg" strategy was getting our soldiers killed.

[BP2]

You just know all the Marines and Army folks are saying, "It's about damn time."

Al-Jazeera: MosquesAmmo Dumps bombed as fighting rages in Falluja.

I fixed it.

"What is exactly considered a Mosque."

A Mosque is defined as a place to store ammo and combatants, according to Islamic Law.

[Conspiracy Guy]

It's a propaganda hit piece.

[Walkin Man]

Almost half of the mosques in the Iraqi town of Falluja have been destroyed, with US warplanes launching air strikes and fierce fighting on the ground continuing.

About time they took down the main terrorist supply bases, now take out the other half boys!!

[Trippin]

THIS IS AMAZING!!

Earlier a few BBC articles was posted with information from a certain "Fadil al-Badrani". Everyone was joking about how this guy probably works for Al Jazeera. Well, lo and behold, who is the source for this article at Al-Jazeera? You guessed it - Fadil al-Badrani.

In other words, the BBC is using what is almost certainly a blatantly partisan terrorist-sympathizing shill to file it's reports from within Falluja!

How far the once mighty BBC has fallen.

Iraqi and American forces protected 50% of Mosques in Falluja from foreign fighters urinating and sticking up these holy places

"Almost half of the city's mosques have been destroyed after being targeted by US air and tank strikes," al-Badrani added.

Gee whiz -- We're only following orders from Mr. Allawi, THE LEADER OF THE IRAQI PEOPLE....

[Oldeconomybuyer]

"Everything to the west is weapons free," radios Staff Sgt. Sam Mortimer of Seattle, Washington. Weapons Free means the marines can shoot whatever they see -- it's all considered hostile.

Excellent!

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

Almost half of the mosques in the Iraqi town of Falluja have been destroyed, with US warplanes launching air strikes and fierce fighting on the ground continuing.

WTF?! I thought we were on schedule? They should have been further along by now.

[Walkin Man]

What is exactly considered a Mosque.

Supply center for terrorist baby killers and beheaders.

We got plenty of em here in the USA as well...

[madison46]

al jazeera having trouble getting propaganda out. I like it.

[Fatalis]

What is exactly considered a Mosque.

Any church or synagogue captured by Muslims.
