#1 Operation "Waste Bandwidth" was re-launched by the Jihad Unspun Brigades together with their puppet "Mikey" as of 00:23 Eastern Wednesday morning. It is now recognized as part of the larger "Look at Meee!" campaign, evidence in the archives show. The disinformation insurgency forces have recently turned up the heat, with some elements suddenly reappearing after a self-imposed hudna. Additionally, new cells are regularly formed and disbanded thanks to concerted citizen militia action. In light of the heightening activities of these forces, local citizens are urged to dial their ACME Bullshit Detectorâ¢ to the lowest band setting to prevent damage and a resulting permanent cognitive dissonance.

#6 MS,
I gotta ask this - by posting this story, are you telling us that you believe this to be true? I don't want a long detailed answer, just a simple yes or no - do you believe that this is true?

#7 I've suggested before and I'll suggest again: this type of article should have its own category, say, "Terr-talk" or something like that.

#10 Say what!!??? Fallujah again? I predicted this last December (see below). That's why a thorough-going B-52 bombing campaign followed up by napalm is what Fallujah deserves.

#11 Mike, I really/dearly wish I could write that kind of stream of conciousness stuff. Even on a bad day .com is way better than I could ever be and I think I can write. I won't rant on this, but what is with the Left and their denial that people with real talent exist?

#12 This is the beginning of a long series of articles to connect me to the Oklahoma City bombings.

More productive, insightful, and intelligent than your own, Mikey.

What IS your fascination with Jihad Unspun?

#14 US forces announced that they would arrest any journalist who enters Fallujah without a pass issued by them, or who takes photographs, or conducts interviews.

Wait a minute. I thought we were targeting and killing journalists.

Whom should I believe? Linda Foley or Jihad Unspun?

#15 What IS your fascination with Jihad Unspun?

Personally, I find it mildly amusing but amateurish and dry. It lacks the raging seethe of NKor agitprop and the witty irony of ScrappleFace. Not surprising, I guess, coming from a religious cult totally against both fun and logic.

#16 A major in the so-called Iraqi military told the correspondent for Mafkarat al-Islam that the operation aims at killing or arresting armed Resistance members in Fallujah, which, he claimed, have recently become noticeably active in the city. The operation is expected to last for a very long time (= Quagmire).

Wow, wotta surprise. Like all the rest of the JU tripe you post, sheer garbage, Spike

#18 Actually, I agree that we should have a new category for ememy propaganda, to include Jihad Unspun inanities, the Idiotic Imam of the week pronouncement, Durbin press releases and anything KOS puts out.

#19 GG2775 - you might want to clear your cookies and pick up a new nym from Fred's auto-generator (or set your own) - there's another "GG" posting right now that is prime flambait. Lol - fair warning... Don't wanna see a freindly fire incident, heh.

#20 I would also like to know what's up with Jihad Unspun. Is it being posted to mock, as the North Korean jibberish is from time to time, or do you think there is some value in this Mike?

Some valid arguments here for asswipe media designed category where folk can post stories of propoganda for Jihadis or other foreign enemies. I enjoy laughing at their bullshit as well as seeing the sophistication levels of their media arms as they develop.

Zarq's new video for instance, I'd like to see that shite posted under such a category. Know thine enemy and all.

otherwise great job Fred et all.

Not to change the subject, but shit, I'm biting at the bit to see the Wolf Brigade show where they interview the jihadis... just add some English subtitles and we'd have the best seat this side of baghdad.

Cracked-out gay orgy lovin jihadi hard boyz confessing their crimes after being brutally beaten by the Iraqi SF, now that's entertainment!

Does anyone know if they've got the show's footage on the web yet, any subtitles if so?
