I would have choked him till his tongue hung out.
"I can't remember, Ahkmed. Do you attach the red wire here or the blu---?"
Perhaps the bomb detonated because somebody dialed the wrong number ...
Or a telemarketing machine that calls all the cell phones in Iraq a couple of times a day ...
Hold muh beer ....
or What's the blue button do?
Allahu Fubar!!!
Why didn't I think of that!! The hardware is already on the shelf.
Use the Da@@ machine that calls me.
"We're too nice. They should have just let the bomber bleed to death."
I think that mean they urinated on his wounds, you know, to sterilize them or something.
They should have shot him in the head and then thrown Spam on him to deny him entry into Allah's great circle party in the sky.
Yep – frequency hoping transmitters.
LOL!
