Why waste the ammo? Simply pour 50 gallons of bacon grease down the hole.

You just knew that they'd taken a thing or two out of the viet cong playbook when it was reported that the insurgents were popping back up in the north of the city after it had already been swept by the marines.

I have a neighbor kid on the ground in Fallujah. So far no news is good news.

When I say that "It blowed up real good" people correct my grammar. I guess they missed the show. It was so funny. God bless John Candy! Loved that guy.

The only thing that bothers me about this is that we may never know how many terrorists were in the tunnels and were killed. I want to know the score.

God I love secondary explosions!
We can only hope some insurgents were guarding the weapons stores at the time.

The other thing that bothers me is that these rat holes may have held hostages, including Capt. Speicher.

It makes it pretty clear that:

1) Diplomacy will never work with these bastards.
2) Anyone who categorically states that there are no WMD in Iraq is a fool. The place is a rathole filled with ratholes.
