Yeah, I think it reminds everyone, not just the soldiers but hopefully the weak-kneed, weak-willed, instant gratification American public, the exact nature of the enemy we're up again.
I think the Al Qaida leadership promotion ladder has just become an arcade game. Next duck up?
Gallows humor is perfectly acceptable. You HAVE to keep a sense of humor in wartime. It's one of the best weapons you can have to get you through it.
If people think what the FReepers are saying in jest, they ought to hear us here in theater. We're positively warped. ;-)
Yep - altho' from the reports, sounds like there's a lot of quacking on the road from Ramadi to the Syrian border -
Dead as a doornail.
From the last sentence of the article... I submit to you the our program of catch and release isn't working.....time for Summary executions of anyone seen or caught caring a weapon.. It's time we strike so much fear in these ba$tards that even a picture of a AK will cause a slip of the bowl
caring = carrying
(al-AP)Today U.S. armed forces used two 500 pound bombs to destroy several copies of the Koran. The remains of the books were found in the rubble of a safehouse in Yusifiya owned by a person said to be one of a "right hand man" of the late resistance leader, Zarqawi.
"I'm absolutely appalled," said Senator Richard Durbin, "by this action. We can never win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people when we treat Korans in this fashion. This is another example of the incompetence of this administration."
"Where is the plan?", demand Senator John Kerry. "I have a plan that will lead to successful conclusion of this conflict without the loss of a single Koran. This president went to war without a plan to protect these Korans."
"This is why we have to redeploy our forces, " explained Rep. John Murtha. "As long as our brave men and women are over there, there's always the chance that Koran's will be desecrated in this fashion. We need to move our armed forces to a place like the weather station in Antartica, where they can do their job without risking damaging Korans in the process."
Reporters have tried to interview the owner of the safehouse for his reaction, but sources indicate that he may have been in the building at the time the Korans were destroyed.
also saw it, but am on the west coast so was half asleep..also, the report re: Saddam & Osama bin laden records..have not seen anything else on this either..the "trove of information" found linking the two together.
CENTCOM announced minutes ago that one of the men expected to take the place of the now-room temperature Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has also reached thermal equilibrium near Baghdad.
As a writer, I surely do admire your discriptive words. Makes ya smile over description while feeling very good about the content

My brother works for a revenue department in a Northwest state where they can no longer get personal e-mails. I called to read him that quote - both of us were gasping with laughter and I almost couldn't finish reading it.
Sean Hannity just mentioned this on his radio show. He said Mansur was one of the top five al Qaeda leaders in Iraq.
