#3 Concussion? Or a war story? Usually, when you're out â he found himself under the car â you don't get up and run, then keel over again. Or concussion followed by hypovolemia? That'd explain it, I guess...

Storytelling is quite an art throughout the ME, but there is always some truth in the story.

I think that is part of why Jessica Lynch wasn't very grateful to the Iraqi lawyer who tipped off the US military to her where-abouts. She didn't recognize the reality under his embellishments. It's a cultural disconnect. In reality he did save her just not in the Sinbad like manner of his story.

#4 I have a suggestion for the folks in Iraq, especially the police:

1. Build a single line of approach to the police station (one vehicle wide), cordoned off by those big concrete barricades we find all over everywhere in the US.

2. Make sure there are a pair of those barricades at the very entrance, making the vehicle have to turn into a "U" to enter.

3. Park a 105 howitzer in the junction between the two barricades, fully primed and ready to fire, with an inert round.

4. The next time a car comes screaming toward the gate, fire the round. No explosion will be necessary (make sure the area in front of the howitzer is clear for at least ten or twelve blocks).

5. Use as needed (once would be enough for sane folks. Can't say how many would be needed for Islamofascists).

#5 OP, sounds like an industrial strength cattle slaughter house.
