#1 I'm sure the GSG will be willing to let bygones be bygones. Adios, Mahmoud.

#2 Too bad for Mr. Insurgent Leader, the German's might (meaning possibly) have let bygones be bygones, but we Americans will take note and kill him before he gets the chance to get it right. Thanks for the heads up.

#3 Sefarious - the AWCIP!

Hmmm - Jabbar al-Qubaysi really sez:

"All white guys look alike to us! We didn't know."

#4 A lot more Europeans, Aussies and Kiwis are all going to be mistaken for Americans in the next couple of years (think "Bali"). Until they realize that terrorists do not give a fig about any confusion shown over who gets killed, the end game for crushing terror won't be clear. At least Australia gets the picture.

#5 Anon405...No, that's definitely not what he said.

The article reports that the Germans were at the end of a convoy, and that their bodies have not been recovered.

Mahmoud tipped the jihadis off and the ambush was deliberate. Meanwhile, al-Qubaysi "regrets" the "error", claims that "mistakes were made" and the media eats it up with a spoon. I'm not British, but "bugger all" really fits my mood today.

#9 At least Australia gets the picture.

With the exception of at least one individual.
