Middle East
IJ boom artist zapped in Gaza
2003-12-25
In Gaza City, an Israeli helicopter fired two missiles at a car, killing a senior Islamic militant and four other people, witnesses and hospital officials said. The strike was the first Israeli helicopter attack of its kind in more than two months. Residents said an Apache helicopter fired the missiles at a white Subaru driving between Gaza and the Jebaliya refugee camp Thursday evening.
The Apache, of course, was U.S.-made. The Subaru was Japanese-made, damn them!
The army confirmed the strike and said the militant it targeted was planning an attack in the upcoming days. Islamic Jihad officials said Muklit Hamid, commander of the group's military wing, was killed. Another Islamic Jihad militant, Assad Outti, was among the dead, hospital officials said.

#4  God damn, I'm feelin' like Joe Namath doing the Suzie Kolber interview by now...

Just don't try to kiss us. ;)
that interview was HILARIOUS!

Does anyone else think that Israel's intel is PRETTY DAMN GOOD when they can put a hellfire into a particular car when they need to? How many PA mutts are on the payroll, seems to be the only question.

#3  I am throughly convinced that, wherever they are driven, the biggest idiots on the road are the ones who drive Sue Ballous Subarus (obscure reference to a former friend's fat sister; think "Whole Lotta Rosie"...).

#2  But would have died in comfort had he gotten a Caddy Escalade. (And throw a few kevlar panels on that big hunk of steel, and it migh have even been rebuildable after you scrape the body parts out of it).

#1  The Subaru was Japanese-made

I keep saying, buy American, all that extra weight and metal helps when you're in an "accident." If Muklit (where do they get these names?) had been driving a Ford Excursion, he'd be ... just as dead.
