100 cases of Smirnoff and 50 cases of Johnny Walker

That ain't no generic rot gut.

[Sundog]

Ya gotta laugh at this one.

[Tamar1973]

Did it look like this?

"100 bottles of soju on the wall..."

[paddles]

I can hear Slim Pickens now:

100 cases of Smirnoff

50 cases of Johnny Walker

Three hand grenades

Passports...

Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in Karbala with all that.

[SteveMcKing]

Selling it for weapons?

[\/\/ayne]

slar riiite, Brotherssss, a toasssst to Mohammad!

Er, never mind.

[tanuki]

Now we know they're losing.

[Lurker]

FYI.

Contraband liqour and hand grenades.

Sounds like a weekend in West Texas to me.

Destroy the liberated booze as it is probably poisoned.

[MARTIAL MONK]

What a way to get the Iraqi forces crackin'. If you kill the insurgents, you get to drink what's in the hidy-hole.

[webheart]

The way I read this, is that these Muslim "insurgents," with their devout religiousity, are not exactly "good" Muslims, since they aren't supposed to take liquor. Whether this is to make us think they are not really Muslims, and so we shouldn't blame Islam for their actions, I don't know.

50 cases of Johnny Walker were unearthed

Wow, the same thing happened in Afghanistan!

[SantosLHalper]

US-led forces raiding suspected insurgent hideouts in an upscale area of Baghdad stumbled across 150 cases of booze stashed with the usual accoutrements of war, the army said yesterday.

I was wondering who those uniformed guys were that were in my house!
But, I don't live in Baghdad.

Must be a different incident.

[rod1]

Well seems like we ought to play up the fact that the insurgents are clearly boozing, undevout muslims (who nevertheless want to tell everyone else how to live (or die). So in addition to being cold blooded butchers, they are anti-Koran sin-peddlers it seems.

[OrioleFan]

They probably shouldn't try to immigrate to the US via Minneapolis - they won't be able to get a cab ride from the airport...

[org.whodat]

Hope some of those men got to test some of it to make sure it was still good.

[Garvin]

I guess these means the Muslim cab drivers can now carry passengers with alcohol.

[RightWhale]

Do they chase the Johnny Walker with nitric acid?

[gondramB]

>>On a third day of clearing operations in the western Sunni Arab district of Mansur, the military said the 100 cases of Smirnoff and 50 cases of Johnny Walker were unearthed along with three hand grenades and several passports.

Fifty gallons of nitric acid were also found in other caches of explosives, weapons and ammunition.<<


How odd, the insurgents said they had 200 cases of Smirnoff and 100 cases of Johnny Walker...

Seriously, nitric acid is one of the three things you need to make nitroglycerin.

[toddlintown]

Sounds like a party!
