The militants were armed with homemade hunting rifles, bows and arrows and scimitars.

Mess with the bull.....get the horns.

Finally a military with a set of balls. Too bad our men and women have to fight a PC war.

Can’t wait to hear the audio from the dead OBL denouncing this. UN will start crying shortly.

Worse, yet...I expect criticism from top US officials, calling it “disproportionate.”

Best Priest our parish ever had was Nigerian.
He was so spot on, people complained that he was too hard.

Loved him beyond measure!

Yabba Dabba Doo! The correct solution. Why bother trying to kill fire ants one at a time. Go for the whole nest at once. Save money and lives.

But don't you see? Poverty causes all this fighting!

At the heart of the radical Islamic insurgency that sparked this week's violence is dire poverty and political maneuvering — not religion.

100 people in a mosque in West Africa. The odds are pretty good at least one was related to Mr Soetoro.

Nice family portrait.
How could you possibly think he's a muslim?

We should do this in our own country. Maybe then the muzzies will realize they aren’t wanted here.
