You mean the civil war previously known as Quagmire and Vietnam II?

Allah Akbar! Say, did that 70 virgins story turn out to be true?

Ya know, if someone plants all those mortar shells along a road, anything less than a tank or armored personnel vehicle wouldn't stand a chance. It's a wonder that we don't lose more people in those IED deals.

Time to dust off an old tag line:

Encourage the Islamowackos to pretest their explosive devices. A dud will really spoil your day.
And apparently that is exactly what this raghead did.
