#1 No offense to Brooks, but could Kelly run a press conference for once? Sounds like that would be a show I'd pay to view...

#2 How about a joint Iraqi-Coalition press conference with Kelly against Infoman? I bet that would sound quite like the parrot sketch...

"Our brave freedom fighters are manning the walls of babylon to keep out the infidels!"

"They're dead."

"Our glorious Republican Guard are annihilating the mercenaries wherever they encounter them!"

"They charged us in Burqas. We shot 'em."

#3 These "fierce" fighters from Hamas, Hezbollah, the PLA, etc, didnt look so good up against trained infantry, instead of their usual target of unarmed women and children. They lost over 1000 dead for every US Marine *wounded*, in terms of the terrorist wannabees (i.e. the didnt manage to kill any Marines)

It was rather nice of the Hezbollah to go charging into the Marines sector - the Marines have 20 years of payback saved up from the bombing of the Barracks in Beirut. The Marines are serving it up cold, and in large volumes.

Raw fact: the more Murat-like zealots that kill themselves now by charging armored vehicles with AKs, the less of them that we will have to help the Iraqi police hunt down later.

#4 They're bullies -- can't stand up in a real fight. And that one-legged Syrian guy? Welcome to Gitmo.

#5 Don't count 'em out yet. The stupid ones are dying. The smart ones are running or going to ground.

They'll be back.

#6 does anyone else start to think that Syria let these people into Iraq cause they wanted them dead?

#7 Sorta like fishing the floaties out of the gene pool, liberalhawk?

#8 Seems to me there's some historical bad blood between the Syrians and at least one of these groups. Don't remember which, though.

#9 Let's just call this what it is - the "natural (de)selection process."

We're helping the Darwinian theory by removing their genes from the collective human pool.
