#1 In five years they will have destroyed all known US military assets two to three times over and yet no caliphate in sight. Poor buggers need to get a better grip on reality.

#2 I wrestled an 18-ft great white shark the other day. The shark lost. But there's no way I'd ever boast about it.

#3 It's hard to underestimate the gullibility of those who want to believe something and are fed confirmation.

I see the Jihad Unspun PR Dept hack is back.

#5 Mike, this kind of article would be more useful were you to correlate the casualties it lists to, say, U.S./Coalition Command Daily Briefings (or whatever they're called). We know J.I. lies, and that non-Iraqi Muslims believe its reports, but it would be more useful to know by how much -- as compared to reality. Perhaps a 3- or 4-way comparison would be even more helpful: J.I./U.S./Al Jazeera/BBC. It needn't be a formal table, just your own notes highlighted alongside the article's numbers.

Thanks!

#6 Great idea TW. But I doubt those who want to believe could ever be convinced no matter what they see, hear, smell or touch. The truth is rarely a remedy for that type of mental disorder.

#7 We know J.I. lies
Well... some of us do. I'm not sure about all of us.

#8 Jihad Unspun reminds me of the Japanese battle damage assessments after kamikaze attacks.

Day 1 - 4 carriers sunk
Day 2 - 8 carriers sunk
Day 3 - 6 carriers sunk
Day 4 - Where the hell are all of these American carriers coming from if we sank so many the past 3 days?!?

#10 What we'll probably see is a Mikey post at the very last second before rollover on every thread where he took up residence today. I'm sure he will devastate everyone he considers an antagonist. Why, I feel the pre-quivers already.
