Yes.I heard they've upped the payment to $5000 for killing an American.They must be having trouble recruiting.

Not the real "The Rock": - - -

[demlosers]

I thought Rock was on our side: :)

The guy we caught must have been a wannabe. Maybe we could arrange for the Iraqi imposter to go a few rounds with the real deal.

[LanPB01]

When they captured him, did he start taunting their Roody-Poo Candy Ass and invite them to check-in at the Smackdown Hotel, located on the corner of Jabroni Drive and KnowYourRole Boulevard? If not, they got the wrong guy.

“If you fight against your government, we will hunt you down and kill you”

They said this to the ones they released after the apology and "Nighty night". Let them pass the word to all their friends and neighbors.

Isn't it amazing how quiet the media can be as our men keep collecting these like the pieces of trash they are (thank you,Colin Powell)? Instead they are quick to rub hands together and lament at the failures. Just how do they think regime change is going to happen?

OFFICIAL BUMP(TOPIC)LIST

Sgt. Rock led Easy Company.

Sgt. Nick Fury led the Howling Commandos.

Both and all, immortal.

Yeah, the elite western media are just ghouls who only want to report on American deaths. (I'm thinking of the BBC and the New York Times, for example.) They are immune to good news.

Every AP article for the last two weeks has had the following quote.

"Military combat deaths had been coming almost daily, with 52 U.S. soldiers killed in combat since May 1, when President Bush (news - web sites) declared major combat over."

I looked up the phone number of the Foreign Affairs editor desk last night and called them to ask if there are 31 days in May, 30 in June and 31 in July, how does 52 combat deaths in 92 days equate to almost one a day?

First the guy wanted to know who I was and I gave him my name. He then ask me what the purpose of my call was. I said "You're inaccurate." Then he ask why I would go to the trouble to make a call for that and I responded with "I like stats." Then he ask if I was just "Joe Citizen" or was I with somebody else. I said I was just Joe Citizen and I want to know how 52 is almost 92. He ended with "I don't know. We'll check it out."

So in today's AP article it says

The raids came after the U.S. military reported that none of its soldiers were reported killed in attacks for a fifth straight day. Military combat deaths had been coming almost daily, with 52 U.S. service members killed in combat since May 1, when President Bush declared major combat over.

Good news.

It is a shame that good news never makes it to the the mainstream press.

[68skylark]

That's interesting, and I commend you for checking the math of these liberals.

I've often wondered if there was an email address I could use to send a message to the AP, especially when their reporting was unusually biased. I don't think I've even found such an address.

“If you fight against your government, we will hunt you down and kill you,” Russell told the freed men through an interpreter.

Sounds like a plan to me!
