BREAKING: Baghdad International Airport Under Attack
2014-06-16
Lots and lots of American prisoners?

To be individually killed - broadcast live around the world - demands to be met, don't cha' know?

We shall soon see what the American spirit is now made of?

Drunken periods are now become sober question marks. Let us hope the answers to all becomes a resounding No!

#7  baghdad intl airport is on the west side of the city and it is relatively easy to get a mortar device within a few miles. As noted by others, mortars and such have been regularly coming down on the airport since 2005 or so.

#3  Not making $hit up. Looking forward, using my cynical best, at what I consider a possible outcome could be (forgot the question marks at the end of the sentences. Second glass of wine.).

Read the post for analysis, posting comments for snark/emo? ;>

#1  Let's not make shit up okay?

These asshats have been firing (and mostly missing) indirect at BIAP for years.

That doesn't mean people were taken hostage.
