#2 The green text comments are automatically generated, g(r)omgoru, keyed to key words and phrases. It started as a defence against R1ghth4ven, then took on a life of its own.

#3 When asked who was in command, one fighter, Mohamed Bhreka, shrugged and said: Nobody is. We are volunteers. We just come here. There is no plan.

#4 So now we have a well equipped technologically advanced rabble fighting a somewhat technologically advanced delusional thug fighting a rabble armed with used shotguns, sling shots and vintage muskets?

Avoiding R1ght4ven attention, Oscar, just in case. My other purpose in life seems to be alternately amusing or shocking the younger generation, depending on which thing that I learnt from Rantburg has just come out of my mouth.
