#2 Also detained on September 24 was Ibrahim Muhammad Subhi Khayri al-Rihawi, the military said, naming him also as Abu Khalil and calling him a "close associate" of Abu Azzam.

"(He) served as an executive assistant for the terrorist emir. He also acted as a banker for Azzam and stored the terrorist organization's funds so they would not be confiscated should Abu Azzam be killed or captured," it added.

They got Al Qaeda in Iraq's banker....holy moly.

#6 'The Barber's' duties included altering senior al Qaeda in Iraq members' appearances by dying hair color, altering hairstyles and changing facial hair in their efforts to evade capture.

Yeah, nobody would ever think those all those red-headed middle eastern guys looked suspicious.

#7 U.S. forces are keen to show progress as opposed to the media who are keen to show failure? Tell me a story not the truth.

#8 Barber: H-h-how would you like it sir?
Customer: Just short back and sides.
Barber: How do you do that?
Customer: Oh, you know, just short back and sides.
Barber: It's not a... a razor cut, RAZOR CUT BLOOD ARTERY MURDER SPUrt.. arr...
Customer: No, just ordinary short back and sides, you know...
Barber: It's just s-s-s-scissors then...
Customer: Yes.
Barber: You wouldn't rather forget all about it?
Customer: What?
Barber: You wouldn't prefer to have it just combed?
Customer: Oh, no.. I want something cut off!
Barber: Cut, CUT HEART HITCHCOCK MURDER BLOOD PSYCHO HOMICIDE SPURT ARTERY
TREMOR CORTEX Arrrgg...!

(The barber fakes a few quick snips.)

Barber: There, finished.
Customer: I beg your pardon?
Barber: I've finished cutting, cutting, CUTTING, CUTTING YOUR HAIR!
Customer: Well, you haven't even done any cutting yet.
Barber: All right, I confess I didn't cut your hair. I hate hair. I-I I
can't bear cutting it. I have this uncontrolable fear whenever I see
hair. My mother said I was a fool! She said the only way to
overcome my fear would be to become a barber. I didn't want to be a
barber.

I wanted to be... A *TERRORIST*!

[cue music]

I'm a terrorist and I'm okay
I sleep all night and I bomb all day

[chorus]
Heâs a terrorist and heâs okay
He sleeps all night and he bombs all day

[terrorist]
I cut down crowds, I make bomb vests
I go to the lavatory
On Ramadan I go shopping
For lots more IEDs

[chorus]
He cuts down crowds, he makes bomb vests
He goes to the lavatory
On Ramadan he goes shopping
For lots more IEDs

Heâs a terrorist and heâs okay
He sleeps all night and he bombs all day

[terrorist]
I mow down Shiites, I hoist my rump
And daily say five prayers
Iâll put on womenâs clothing and hang around in mosques

[chorus]
He mows down Shiites and hoists his rump
And daily says five prayers
Heâll put on womenâs clothing and hang around in mosques

Heâs a terrorist and heâs okay
He sleeps all night and he bombs all day

[terrorist]
I hijack planes, I wear silk hose
A burkha and a bra
I like goats instead of girlies, just like my dear pappa

[chorus]
He hijacks planes and wears silk hose
A burkha and a bra
He likes goats instead of girlies, just like his dear pappa

Heâs a terrorist and heâs okay
He sleeps all night and he bombs all day!

[with apologies to Monty Python]
