Oh, yes, I remember that incident being portrayed in a movie once, long ago.
Putting it in the 14th century made me think you were referring to the Il-Khans, or maybe Timur.
The Arabs eventually stopped the Mongol invasion at Ain Jalut ("Well of Goliath") in the Sinai, but I forget in what year. Too, that may have been Batu Khan or Nogai or one of the other grandsons. Liegnitz was later, in iirc 1251 or 1257 -- and that was one of the grandsons. Batu, I think. Up against German, Polish, and Hungarian knights, in the unfamiliar environs of deep forest. Both of them must have been hellacious battles.
But you're right, the Arabs were off center stage after about the 12th century, anyway. Saladin was a Kurd.
Wonder if this wounding story is part of a cover for the same? After all, if the militant bretheren don't see Zarky around all of a sudden, this wounding story will tend to account from his absence from the glorious battle.
Keep fighting bretheren! .....<heads for door>
Someone who witnessed the Marxist cockroaches' shutdown of the Harvard University administration building in 1969 recalled that, when the police finally poured in on the occupying students, the ringleaders bolted out the back way. He asked one of them where he was going, since there was obviously a confrontation in progress within the building, where the cops were working over the sit-ins with their batons. "The leadership must always preserve itself", said the fleeing cockroach, thereby establishing what he and Marxism-Leninism really were, as they left the followers behind to get "radicalized".
I think Professor Roger Rosenblatt (sp?) told that story on The Newshour five or six years ago, on the anniversary.
He is wounded in his right lung, in which the bullets crossed and remained in his back,"
This is what happens when you don't have enough gun.
Still, I suppose those little bullets must have tumbled
about to good effect
Although it's heartening to see he was hit more than once.
Enjoy your sucking chest wound Musab.
Muslims couldn't possibly be shot in the heart, because I'm convinced that they don't have a heart.
May he die a slow painful death, and have time to think about all the innocents he's killed.
"Abu Musab Zarqawi, was struggling with a gunshot wound to the lung."
I really hope that no one spills the beans on the new pig fat coated bullets that our guys are shooting at the terrorists.
It sounds like he was hit by one, the pig lard makes the bullets enter the body easier.
LOL!
They better consider an African and a woman if they don't want to be written about in the press as being racist and sexist.
Abu Musab Zarqawi, was struggling with a gunshot wound to the lung.
I'm tickled it was not a quick and painless wound.
Apparently so.
Thank goodness for that.
I love that picture.
Well, at least we know one person who regrets not switching to low-tar cigarettes when he had the chance.
When he dies the democrats will take a massive hit on their PR machine.
Sad... but true.
LOL. I swear they watch it. Remember the switcheroo in the tunnel where CTU picks up the car they were tracking on the way in while Marwan has hopped into a different car and gets away. Then Zarcoward hops out of his car in an underpass, getting away while his driver and a pal get caught. And now this.
I hope we really got him though.
shot in the lung? just in time for him to start sounding like darth vader?
but id rather cut off his legs and burn him before he dies!
That is of course if we even give him the legacy.
"How's his pulse?"
"Slow and thready...."
"How slow?"
"One beat a day, and he had his last one about 3 days ago. We can be upbeat and hope that Allah will help his heartbeat to speed up soon. Otherwise, there's not much hope."
Could someone with some medical experience comment on the seriousness of a gunshot through the lungs being treated under primitive conditions. What are his chances of survival?
then cleanse the Puss filled hole with Goat urine.
Hey, don't forget the camel dung poultice.
I hope he got hit w/ a .50cal.
