#1 Actually, we are hoping that you are not afraid. Scared jihadis scatter like roaches, but big macho studs like yerself stand out in the open, doing yer F.A.D.* and making a nice target for Hellfires.

#2 They should be afraid, but they're apparently not that bright.

#5 The reason the "brave" fighters ran:

No sisters, mothers, or daughters to hide behind.

#6 "Suddenly the gunmen scattered, unnerved by the sound of an approaching US helicopter."and being a brave Jihad male begins looking for women and children to use as shields.

#7 Oh, yes, you will be afriad. You will be very afraid. You know we will come after you. You know we will hunt you down, wherever you run, wherever you try to hide. We will chase you through the cities, and into the river and into the sea. We will follow you into the hills, and across the desert. We will follow you through the valleys and over the mountains. We will follow you, and we will catch you. Then we will make you wish you had never been born. We will destroy you so thoroughly even your god will not want you. And when we are done, we will turn our back upon you and walk away, because we know you have been destroyed, and you and your kind can never harm us again.

(I don't remember where I read that, but it should become the motto of every US military member serving in the Middle East).

#9 Brave? Possibly. Smart? Not entirely. I too hate when the scatter, itâs too much like âwhack-a-moleâ at that point. Be brave little jihadis and stay close in a group. Stand tall in the face of those big M1 Abrams rumbling towards you. Soon you will be speaking with Allah one-to-one and eating rasins.

#13 "The Americans think we are afraid . . ."

I could care less what they feel we think of them. I just want these cowards to regard us as cold, effecient, methodical killers of every last one of them.

#14 Anyone remember the line from Clancy's "Cardinal of the Kremlin"? "We don't fear the Russians, but we fear their helicopters."

If Clancy took that from interviews with Afghan fighters, then it's possible the jihadis haven't forgotten that lesson.

#15 commander of this small band of fighters in this village

For some reason, I mistakenly read this as "frightened fighters". Freudian slip I suppose. Had to do a double take.
