#1 In other news..."Construction crew bogged down in cautious pouring and leveling of foundation for new house. Neighbors decry waste of time on this effort, saying: 'No one ever looks under the house anyway'"

#2 Well they would like to think we are bogged down. Given there isn't even a timetable for completion apperently this is just plain stupid. Then you have to consider the source. I did it's really a laugh.

#3 "Shitass Ragheads Bogged Down in Hopeless Struggle Against U.S. Troops; 'Primitive assholes are doomed', says field commander" would be more accurate.

#4 I guess the moron that wrote this using pejorative language like "Bogged" has never seen a proper house-clearing. I invite him and his cohorts to go do it "quickly". Be sure your will is made out prior to going.

Seriously, if we didnt care about the people of Fallujah, we'd noe be doing it house to house, room to room. We'd simply call in artillery and walk it from one end of the fire sack to the other, and level all those places. Then they'd be complaining about casualties and baby ducks and dead kittens...

Bastards.

#5 The interesting part for me is not the stupid headline but this:
"Clearly they have been killing some of their own," said Captain Drew McNulty.
I guess the shine is wearing off being a jihadi.

#6 Bogged down?

Well, if Arab News wants faster results, I suppose we could simply shoot all the residents on sight and raze the whole city to the ground, but they'd obviously find something else to complain about...

#7 Foreigners vs Locals?

Maybe the Iraqi locals have finally woken up as to the reality: Foreigners (like Zarqawi) do the talking, locals do the dying.

#8 Our Marines and Army got 1200 of the terrorist assholes. That is a good beginning. God bless the Marines and the Army. On to Mosul for a good house cleaning.

#9 I understand we have an estimated 1000 jihadis isolated in the Industrial Park in SE Falluja. No protection from anything heavier than .223, lol.

Dice 'em and slice 'em, boys. Bring joy to their hearts as they die for allen.
