Seems to me there have been three or four commercial airplane crashes in Latin and South America the past few days.

Glory to the West! Death to Islam!

The troops fired two warning shots into the grill and the deck on the driver's side of a truck that was speeding toward them. The truck driver crouched down while the passenger fired a weapon at the patrol. At that point the joint patrol fired small arms at the vehicle, causing the vehicle to stop about 100 feet past the patrol.

Now that's my kind of suicide attack. Two dead turds, no good guys hurt, and they even get in a bit of target practice.

Don't forget to ping us groupies!

You don't have to lead a moving truck by much. :-)

Dumb terrorists to try spraying a couple of well trained US soldiers.

Takin' em down, one by one. Taliban reduced to recruiting boys. Where are the millions of eager jihadists going?

Almost a hundred morter rounds turned in in two days, good news for our guys and gals in the area.

Thanks SV

Upon searching the vehicle, soldiers found two dead men and recovered one AK-47 automatic rifle and several spent 7.62 mm casings. The passenger tested positive for gunpowder residue.

Since he shot at them, and was dead, why bother to test for this. It's not like they'll be trying him. "The bugger's dead" It's not like he's going on trial. And if he did "the trial will not be lengthy", would seem to apply.

follows a previous message on several Islamic websites saying the fugitive terrorist leader was injured while taking part in an attack on a Spanish military base in Afghanistan

I don't believe it. OBL was never a "Lead from the Front" kind of guy. He started out as financier, not fighter.

Two.

Plus that wierd one in Greece with the quick frozen passengers.

They are going to Iraq, but by the hundreds or thousands, not millions. Where, BTW, we are killing them, saving us the trouble of looking for them in their countries of origin.

What if you're only carrying a 9mm? :-)

Evidence to back up our side of the story. Because you just know this was a pickup full of wedding guests simply in a hurry to make the reception. ;-)

Many thanks...

Should the muslims try to blow up anything within the Vatican will bring too much destruction upon themselves...

Suppose we read the newspapers in 1944. Suppose the articles dated June 6, 1944 had as its headline “Another 2,500 Allied soldiers Killed.” The story was about deaths of Allied soldiers via machine gun and cannon fire. Entire Allied companies decimated; bodies blown apart and bobbing in the waves. And that was it; the focus was on American and British casualties. Perhaps the follow up stories were of grieving mothers and fathers, wives and sweethearts of those killed that day. Would you have been reading the truth?

Yes, in a way.

How about a story about nearly 6,000 American Marines killed, 20,000 wounded in a god-forsaken rock in the middle of the Pacific whose civilian inhabitants had been evacuated? What in God’s name could they have died for?

If the American news media of that day was populated by the same people as the American news media of today, you may have missed the importance of June 6th which we memorialize as D-Day. And the Pacific atoll was named Iwo Jima.
