---captured Cannonballs and--trapped cars? Is this another one of those Babelfish translations? I'll wait for the second translation, I guess, before I get too happy about the quagmire news.

The website is a typical Babelfish-like translation from Farsi to English.

Also from the same website:

Editorial:
Unacceptable
By Muhammed Abdul Jabbar

Unacceptable.. Unacceptable. It is unacceptable that US trooper kicks an Iraqi citizen's car just because he could not clear the way ahead of military convoy for a reason beyond control, which is traffic jam. This has become yesterday and I have seen it myself on my way to the al-Iraqia T.V channel studio.

Traffic was heading down for Karradet Mariam across Jumhuria Bridge, but it was almost halted due to barriers, large number of cars and disorder in traffic. A military convoy including civilian cars managed to reach a point in the way, yet it was stopped like other cars because of the traffic. One of the US protection troopers lost patience immediately, then he got out of the car and directed for an Iraqi car, led by an Iraqi citizen accompanied by his family, and kicked it by his foot like a brave lion, directing his gun before the others.

This is unacceptable act and is neither of carriage nor a civilized manner to ease traffic. US forces and other forces are no more occupying forces since they have become multination ones. Besides, their troops are Iraq's guests for sometime. Under either titles of occupation or guests, they have to respect the country on which they exist, let alone their nationality and they have to respect its citizens.The soldier's act made me upset because it is out of decorum, unacceptable, condemned and abhorred zct.

Foreign forces should resort to gain Iraqis hearts and minds; however their acts were the opposite by unacceptable acts and insulting people or miss commitment. We wish translators translate our old Arabic proverb saying "strangers should be polite" so as leaders of the foreign forces can read and explain it and not to panic Iraqis and terrorizing their children, finally they should be more polite, generous and humble with world peoples.

I'm getting a little tired hearing of "captured" terrorists.

When do we start hearing about executed terrorists?

I thought these folks were big on beheading, and not into forgiveness.

Semper Fi

Heck with it. Bring back napalm for terrorists and insurgents.

I heard there was also a few blunderbus, a couple of cutlesses and maybe a catapult or two.

"With enclosure". So when one cuts a terrorist open, there are all kinds of heavy and unpleasant things like cannonballs, which naturally fall out and start rolling on the floor. Steel toed shoes are a must.

Sounds like Dan Rather's farewell speech.

I suspect that a lot of these terrorists, especially the foreigners, will just "disappear".

I hope so.... when I lived in Texas I would often hear saying like this.... "you can't pussyfoot with the enemy - kill them or else they will kill you"
