#1 The word "assasin" comes from the word "hashishin". In early Arab times certain fighters would get hopped up on hashish and fought very hard. It's not really strange that they would revive the practice using more modern drugs.

#2 Why would they sedate themselves before battle?
Wouldn't that make you not want to fight?

#3 "Marines are awake 24 hours. Stop hiding behind your women’s skirts and fight," loudspeakers stacked on trucks blared out.

>F*'n beautiful.

>I made the heavy metal prediction about three days ago. During Gulf I our armor and vehicles rolled in w/Metallica blaring from procured loudspeakers. "Seek & Destroy" was the song of choice at the time.

#4 I think the idea's that you get a leg up on any impending pain. If you can stay awake, of course.

#5 TS> depends on the drug. Marijuana is a mellow stimulant whereas morphine may numb the senses w/out the mellowing side affect. Morphine + Alcohol may be interesting but since the muzzy's are too stupid to drink guess we'll never know.

#6 Jarhead - how about Alice in Chains' "Man In The Pine Box"?

#7 Raj, there are so many good ones:

>AC/DC "Hells Bells"
>Black Sabbath "War Pigs"
>Nugent "Stranglehold"


For the Muzzy's > the Ramones "I wanna be sedated" would prolly be appro.

#8 I've been reading a great deal about Muslim culture since 9/11. I've come to the conclusion they're genetically predisposed to duplicity, stupidity, and most of all cowardice. Regret to advise I'm drawing closer to George Will's admonition the Muslim's cannot democratize due to their cultural inferiority (which, for any libs out there reading this, is not an opinion but rather an objective and demonstable fact).

#9 Didn't the head of the assassins consider himself to be the Mahdi?

#10 The only time those raghead pussies come out from behind their women is to throw acid in their face.

#11 RC> you might be right. I'd have to google it but I think the assassins put up a few good fights as a quasi-militia or army group.

#12 Fred, Jarhead,
Well this makes sense...I suppose thats what they do when they suicide bomb. Alot of the jihadis do have strange glazed looking eyes.
I thought it was just the brainwashing and/or evil.
So Bin Laden aint nothing but a damn pimp then.
Arafat too..he's like the OG of jihad pimps.
Cept they deal in death.
Crazy.

#13 How about Outkast's "Bombs Over Baghdad?" Jennifer Capriati used this as her warmup music at a tournament around the time the war started. I never liked her before that, but I do now.

#14 That's on a religious take, right? (Since Bush nearly called your assumption racist ...)

Not to mention there're plenty of pro-American, fully Western bloggers ...

#15 One more, Jarhead - Sabbath's 'Electric Funeral'. I was cleaning my bike chain with gas one time and decided to light the remnant gas on fire with that blasting in the background. I think the neighbors 1) thought I was fucked (no argument here) and / or 2) thought I was doing a satanic ritual.

To paraphrase John McClane, "The only thing better than being a psycho is making everybody think you are!"

#16 I like the way Lieutenant Colonel Byrne talks.

#17 GW I: we played Appetite for Destruction Guns-n-Roses -Welcome To The Jungle blasting out. That and Van Halen, etc. Armored Cav and Tankers, what did ya expect?

You remember what the first song on AFN Saudi was?

Rock the Casbah by the Clash.

Laughed our asses off on that one.

#18 I recommend bagpipes and bass drums, giant ones you can hear 10 miles away.

Islamo-fascists are genetically predisposed to shit themselves at the sound of these instruments. It is a matter of practical evolution. In former times, those jihadis who failed to flee at the first notes often found themselves on the sharp end of British steel before they had a chance to breed.

#19 Maybe we can bring some Orange bands in from Northern Ireland. It would keep the peace in the north as they would not be marching through Catholic neighborhoods, and the booming bass drum would give the jihadis a thrill. Do it on the 12th of July and you have a happening, with the marchers shouting "No Surrender!" Just a thought...

#20 Editors, some bozo is commenting on a post that is three days old - and its not NMM.

#21 Little Sheet Heads on Dope!! Cool, some of the ganster rap makes me crazy. I wonder if we can get the "Hero's of the Hood", to create some wonderful Hip Hop tunes about Allah!!

#22 As for the music, 6 words: Wesly Willis: "Rock saddam husseins ass", as for the stoned jihadis running out to the marines with RPG's: "Come on Mahmoud, I got the munchies lets run to the store and get some Dorito's pronto"
