#1 TF-145 or just our regular soldiers?

#2 TF-145, or whatever it is called this week, is probably roaming around the countryside of Paki^H^H^H^H Afghanistan these days.

#3 Several of those killed appeared to have been foreign fighters from outside Iraq, the report said.

"Whatcha got there, Sarge?"
"A left hand. Stinks to high heaven."
"Hmmm. You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?"
"Yep. Saudi."

#6 I always grin at reading good news like this, and then I get the added bonus (and I don't have to pay $19.95) of LOL at .com's snarky self! I nominate that one for snark of the day, .com!

#7 We seem to have found the solution to prisoner abuse, torure, escape, and early release stories; note here 'five killed inside the building' and eight killed who fled, but NONE wounded or captured. I have been noticing a pattern.

#9 Can't be accused of prisoner abuse if you don't capture none. This had been going on for some time. Might want to check for correlations with SCOTUS decisions.

After they've used their left hand as bum-wipe, don't they wash it?

#12 Well, Dundee, I wrote up a nice response for ya, complete with personal anecdote and links - and got redirected to Roadside America. Unfortunately, I still haven't made a habit of copying my post to the clipboard... so it went *poof*.

I'll just say that if you'd ever taken one breath in a Saudi hammam at Aramco you would share my take, lol.

If you actually want to know the game, this is a good place to start, though I have no idea where the person asking has been in the "West" that lacked water in the frickin' water closet, lol. That the Toronto "scholars" didn't question him about it means they do, lol.

#14 Fascinating. Tried to submit a link to a Google search for "pebbles islam" and that is what sent me to Roadside America. The Ask search (above) worked fine as a link.

Try it in Google and note the first page of returned results... Lol. See Google return a page of hits without the text samples that triggered the hit, before?

#15 Five people were killed inside the building, including one man wearing a vest rigged with explosives

Sounds like a University of Pennsylvania faculty Halloween party to me.
