| US says foreign fighters involved in resistance attacks |
| 2003-07-30 |
| In Pakistan, Geo-TV aired an interview with Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, in which he again raised U.S. concerns about foreign fighters among the resistance cell in Iraq. "Certainly we know that there are foreign fighters that have flowed in through Syria, and in fact, 80 of them were engaged several weeks ago in a training camp, and they were not Iraqis," Myers said. The "engaged" and "they were not Iraqis" statement leads me to believe they are now taking a dirt nap. On Tuesday, the US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage said that there were "some indications" that Lebanon’s Hizbullah may be trying "to harm our interests in an already confused situation" in Iraq. He did not offer any specifics but said foreign fighters from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan and Syria had been involved in armed attacks against US forces in Iraq. Since you can’t tell nationality from DNA, I’d guess they are finding ID cards on the bodies and taking prisoners. Somebody is making a list. |

| #4 ... in fact, 80 of them were engaged several weeks ago in a training camp ... The US military will hold the wedding reception, and take photos of the blushing grooms as they're lead away to meet Bubba, their new 350 lb "bride" in their prison cell. *evil grin* |

| #3 Meyers and Armitage are stating the obvious without resorting to graphic language. I think that they ought to say something graphic, through, to let everyone know that we will take no sh-t from any nationality and they will have to take DIRT NAPS if they continue their behavior. |

| #2 Hopefully he's delivering that message by pouring their remains on top of Perv's desk. |
