| GSPC kills three cops ... |
| 2003-10-21 |
| Guess Hattab’s successor is learning the tricks of the trade ... Suspected Islamist rebels killed three Algerian policemen and wounded 13 other officers in a road-side bomb attack on a convoy in the east of the country, state radio said on Saturday. It said "terrorists" detonated a home-made bomb while two police vehicles patrolled the quake-torn town of Zemmouri, some 50 km (30 miles) east of the capital Algiers. The police were then fired upon, the radio said, citing security sources. Gee, those tactics sound kinda familiar, wonder where else I’ve heard of them being used? Algeria’s armed forces have stepped up a campaign to eliminate what remains of the Islamist organisations Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) and the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), known for slitting the throats of its victims. Nice folks, ain’t they? State media usually use the term "terrorist" when referring to Islamic rebels who have been fighting the government since 1992, when authorities cancelled elections that an Islamist party was poised to win. State media is also right-on when it comes to this, not that it’ll matter much to Rooters ... |

| #6 Here, Mikey, I'll explain: Clinton: It's a take-off on Klanton... Remember the Klantons (Ike and his fuckwad sons and his hired guns?) - Earp brothers rivalry culminating in the OK Corral shootout? See the names are quite similar and pronounced similarly. It's called a pun when you play upon words. Mahmoud: Generic Islamic name cuz the story's about Izzoids, see? And then SH made a comment about Wyatt. See that? The JFK comments that Wyatt's a good guy. There it is just above. Then I mention that Hollyweird shithats have taken some liberties of late with Wyatt and the Earps, portraying them as money-grubbers - when it's the film-making leaf-eating lib weenies who grub for money. Wyatt would shine his boots with their hides if they had said something like that in his presence - and he did work in Hollyweird late in life as a consultant so they'd get it right. He did not suffer pfools. And then I decided to play with the Clinton/Klanton thing and give the Izzoid version Mahmoud as a first name. I know it's all very complicated. Now run along. |

| #4 JFM - He certainly was, but HollyWeird has recently tried to portray the Earps quite differently of late. Personally, I'd say Wyatt Earp would be the cure for any action by the Mahmoud Clinton (Ha! Whaddya know! Any relation, ya think?) gang... |

| #1 GSPC and GIA are not known for slithing the throats of their victims, they are known for throwing babies into fires, impaling children and by their treatment of captured girls with a mullah who "marries" the girl to one of the men, man rapes her, repudiates her, then mullah "marries" her to another man. Once the girl is no longer fun or if she gets pregnant they kill her. The people who have their throats slit are the lucky ones
