#1 Maybe they threatened the docs with guns because they watched "A Bridge Too Far" on cable and were impressed by James Caan's portrayal of Eddie Dohun.

#2 The biggest threat came when doctors had to treat Abbas Qadri, who was already dead. He was already dead on arrival and we had people with guns telling us to ensure that he lived.

shoulda told them that Abbas Qadri's only hope was in the hands of Jesus.

#3 Have they declared jihad yet ? Seems to me to be the next logical thing ..

"Should these guys with guns leave?"
Nod the head

#10 "There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do."

"What's that?"

"Go through his clothes and look for loose change."
