Grapic pictures: Jubilant Iraqis swarm over the disabled Bradley (not a tank, btw) Not so jubilant Iraqis just after choppers destroyed the vehicle to prevent the capture of sensitive equipment. | |||||

#26 We've dealt with the tragic impotence of the Israelis as the Paleo militants routinely car-swarm---now we see what happens when Iraqis perform a BFV swarm. I love it. Talk about a target rich environment. We should be taking out their boomers, and then taking out the resulting swarms. |

#25 Keep in mind that the late celebrants were waving a Zarqawi flag on top of the Bradley when it was helizapped. If you are really a non-combatant, perhaps you should avoid triumphantly identifying yourself as the enemy. |

#24 Wonder whether the Arab street took the message to heart. |

#22 Seafarious - Make it a bit further south - maybe Norfolk, where we can go play on a battleship - and I'm there; Baltimore or the District is just a bit far from SC. Cheers, Mike |

#21 Despite all the attempts by the PC-Government Nannies, the universe's rule that Stupidity Kills is still in force. We should pass out flyers of Before and After labeled, "This is you before islam(e)." on the before. And then on the splattered dead, "This is you on islam(e). Praise allan." |

#19 "I also wish that a camera crew could film a barroom full of rantburgers hopping up and down, joyfully celebrating the film shots of Baathist celebrators turning into red lumps on the street..." There was talk back around February or March about a Rantburg get-together in Baltimore; but nothing ever came of it. I guess I'll just have to ululate in private. |

#18 It was very satisfying to watch the BBC film, and see the before and after shots. I heartily endorse continuing this practice - I'd personally probably put an Arclight strike in instead of a Hellfire. That might teach jihadis to keep boomers out of their neighborhoods (or - at least - there would not be many repeat performances in any one area). I also wish that a camera crew could film a barroom full of rantburgers hopping up and down, joyfully celebrating the film shots of Baathist celebrators turning into red lumps on the street - and then show that on Iraqi TV - to let them see what it feels like to have other people joyously celebrating death and destruction of your mates. I just hope the PC elements don't inspire such a hand-wringing that we next hear about the involved attack helicopter pilots being brought up on charges for causing unneccesary civilian carnage. You play with fire, you get burned. Suck it up. |

#17 What a bunch of stupid f&%ks. Swarm around a burning military vehicle that might start cooking off any live ammunition inside of it. Great idea, moron @ssholes! Be sure and say hello to Allah for me. |

#16 Payback is a real bitch. Piss on a US vehicle...you get a "go see allan" card free of charge. |

#15 I've been in a sour mood all weekend. Mostly becuase yesterday was...well... yesterday if you know what I mean. This story actually put a smile on my face. |

#14 More before and after photographs (some not recommended for the queasy) Maybe next time, the survivors will be less inclined to indulge in any impromptu propaganda pieces. |

#13 Who the heck dances 'round a Free Fire Zone??? You snooze... You lose. Literally. Or If you kick a tiger in the ass. Do remember that the tiger has CLAWS! Is that the Adaggio For Strings I hear in the background? |

#11 ... must be an accordian in there somewhere. Use an accordian, get a Hellfire enema. (Or something like that.) Speaking of musical instruments, where's my femtoviolin? |

#10 Well a tad more sanitation of the gene pool. Who wants to bet that the "news crew" were standing by during the ambush to "gather this news"n too. Traveling in a war zone to gather news is dangerous. Thats why all the westerners do it with us or from the bar in a nice safe hotel in the green zone. Traveling with the terrorist and a camera does not give you a free pass from getting a burial shroud. |

#9 I screwed up the link somehow, but if you copy and paste it, it should work. |

#7 Finally...it's about time this swarming, dragging bodies, ululating, children dancing with glee, and Arab reporters standing by to film it all is put a stop to. |

#6 You can watch the BBC video from this page http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3648786.stm The link is on the upper right. Looks like a skin-skin kill. |

#5 Comm isn't much good in the ME. The paleos and the Iraqis do not communicate much, otherwise the Paleos could have given the heads-up on avoiding car swarms™. |

#3 But they were just minding their own business and celebrating a wedding...there must be an accordian in there somewhere. (BTW, have any video links turned up for this yet?) |

#1 Additional details, idiotarian spin-free, from ME Online:"Witnesses saw an angry mob pelt the burning tank with stones and dance around the armoured vehicle as one man climbed on top, waving a black flag emblazoned with the name of Zarqawi's group Tawhid wal Jihad (Unity and Holy War), while veiled women ululated. |
