Waiting for a report on Reuters in a couple days: "Busload of Civilian Students Struck By Israeli Bomb".
In the Middle Ages, such troops were called the "forlorn hope."
"Students" my Aunt Fanny! They're "students" the same way that allah is Yahweh!
Let's hope martyr schooling takes a heavy toll.
BUMP!
Naw, the Isrealis have made it abundantly clear that this is a real war, and useful idoiots will die. Priorities change when their priviledged little butts are truly on the line. Instead, they will make signs equating Isreal to the Nazis, and blaming Pres. Bush for the whole thing. They yell, and stamp their feet, then they will retire to the nearest Starbucks and regale each other with stories of how they are taking down the evil Zionist oppressors, and Chimpy McBushHitler.
"Hey Achmad, step it up, we're going to need a lot more virgins very soon..."
I seem to recall that the U.S. embassy was taken over by "students" too, so a bucket of salt is required here. But if they really are untrained militarily they'd better hope the Turks don't let them through, because all the religious enthusiasm in the world won't stop a bullet and the IDF has plenty of those.
"Does this mean that Iran has formally entered the war?"
No, and those volunteers crossing the Yalu River were just bringing their own, private, Mig-15s and rifles to help their poor oppressed brethren in North Korea..... China was just an innocent bystander. Heh.
(agreeing with extreme sarcasm as to the situation)
