#1 Dozens Killed in Revenge Attack in Iraq

Let's get one thing perfectly clear. If your murderous assault upon a rival clan does not involve a hereditery blood feud less than five centuries old it is, at best, merely a recent dispute worthy of small claims court and cannot possibly be recognized as any sort of valid "revenge attack".

In order to qualify as a true Revenge Attack the contested claim must center upon a half-millennia old dispute involving either the hair's-breadth loss of a prestigious camel race, a goat prized for its particularly intimate qualities or some infintesimally minute region of sand unique in its ability to soak up huge quantities of needlessly shed blood such that it might qualify at all. Any of the above must have happened at least five centuries ago to assert any possible claim in a court of Islamic law.

Any questions?

#2 It also must be added that any innocent blood relative of the offending tribe all the way out to a third cousin twice removed (age & sex irrespective of course) is a fair target.

I faaat-waaaaah in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

Other than that, I really appreciate your sincere interest, MacNails.

#5 After the Death by Sewage incident I can say I officially no longer care what these savages do to each other. Provided we carefully restrict air travel and are thorough about bombing anything that uses electricity in their desert strongholds I see no impediment to allowing them to slaughter each other at will. In fact, I see a Running Man style reality tv opportunity for Chinese or Japanese markets; those countries being less dainty at enjoying the suffering of others than we have become.

#8 Wasn't this one considered to be an AQI operation? At this time, it may be impossible to prove but it sure reeks of their tactics. I dunno, I'd think by now the Sunni's would be getting tired of this shit.
