U.S. Takes Down Fedayeen Cell
2003-12-19
In Friday’s Baghdad raid, nine cell members, including the guerrilla leader, were arrested at dawn. The gang leader was responsible for coordinating three different cells, according to Lt. Col. Garry Bishop of the 1st Armored Division. The raid was based on a tip from an informant and resulted in the capture of rockets, anti-tank missiles, explosives, timing devices and six 100-pound barrels of fertilizer. It’s thought there were enough weapons and ammunition to launch an attack comparable to the October homicide truck-bomb attack on the Red Cross Thingy. "The suspected attack time was tomorrow [Saturday] night," Bishop told Fox News. "The information we received, we believe, is a fallout from information gleaned from the capture of Saddam, which identified certain cell leaders throughout the Baghdad area."

Dar,

Actually, I'd not be too worried about it, if OP and OS have daugthers, by the time they bring their boy friends home to meet Dad, the mere fact that they've survived to the time of the meeting will mean that they are acceptable! I can't imagine either of them having daughters who don't don't know how to take care of themselves!

Read Kipling's poem about the female of the species for further elightenment!

All the Best,

Ralph

#6  no tombstone

AFAICR, the Wahabbists despise the idea of tombstones, considering them un-Islamic. They believe this so strongly they forced Balkan Muslims to destroy their cemetaries in order to qualify for "charity" money.

So each of them should have a tombstone. Just to spite them.

#5  That's it! That's who Old Spook reminds me of, Jack Byrnes, Robert De Niro's character in "Meet The Parents".

"I will be watching you and if I find that you are trying to corrupt my first born child, I will bring you down, baby. I will bring you down to Chinatown!"

#4  Damn! Every time I read a comment like this from Old Patriot or Old Spook, I'm just glad they're on our side!

OP, I just hope you and Old Spook don't have daughters--they'll be lonely old maids if they have to introduce their beaus to you! ;-)

#3  Take 'em 40 miles out in the desert, cut their Achilles tendons, and walk away. They either freeze to death or die of thirst. No martyrdom, no raisins, no tombstone, no memories.

#1  These Fedayeen members need to be taken out into the desert and swiftly dispatched, no questions asked.
