#1 UPI has "bodies of Saudi, Jordanian and Palestinian nationals were found littering the streets" but the NYT can't find bodies. Maybe the NYT reporters need to get out of the hotel bar in Baghdad.

#2 A fitting end, don't ya think?

I would've preferred pigs, but any four-legged beast feasting on dead terrorist flesh will do.

#5 how can you tell the difference between Saudi, Jordanian and Palestinian bodies?

Perhaps the Saudi bodies are clothed in white, gold-trimmed robes, while the Palestinians are in hand-me-down t-shirts supporting Israel's Maccabee soocer team and ski masks?

#7 Umm... so how much was stored in the bunker that it would take 45 minutes to finish cooking off? Any Rantburg specialists making an estimation?

#10 Umm... so how much was stored in the bunker that it would take 45 minutes to finish cooking off?

Must've been one helluva stockpile. The only way that anyone down there is going to come out will be as bags containing carbon labeled, "human remains".

#12 how can you tell the difference between Saudi, Jordanian and Palestinian bodies?

In all seriousness, after being in the region a while, you can spot differences.

#13 "secondary explosions that went on for 45 minutes"

I knew a girl in college that can do this.
