#1 Did he say why Zarkboy wasn't wearing the sucide vest he promised to wear when US troops were around?

Ya, know like Zarkboy lied and then died.

#3 No story coming out of Arabia would be complete without some totally insane, not to mention irrelevant, Arab shit layered on top.

#9 As expected as the sun setting in the west, the New York Times carries this lie...and one thought it hard to top Goebbels "Der Angriff"...

#12 I doubt any civilain was allowed within 1000 Yards of the site and anyone trying to get there would have been detained and questioned very vigorously. But stuff like this makes no sense to a "journalist"

#13 I wish this were true, and I wish I was there doing it.

#14 The overpressure would eventually kill him anyway. However, you'd have to understand what overpressure was and that is another example of the mind dead MSM. Feelings more important than facts.

#15 There's abolutely nothing verifiable in this story--it is pure Associated Press BS--a waste of space.

#16 My understanding is that this was a remote farmhouse in the middle of an orchard of some kind. If this guy got there before the Iraqi police, I'd be inclined to haul him off to Gitmo for some long, long discussions. And no, I don't care whether the Zman was finally terminated by 1,000 lbs of explosives or a beating with the debris. Sharia sanctions stoning for bad behavior anyway.

#18 Geez I would hope so. Beat him. Resuscitate him. Beat him. Resuscitate. Repeat ad nauseam.

#21 Speaking of AP shenanigans, our local fishwrap published an AP article about "500 deaths" in Afghanistan in the last month. Nowhere in the article does it explain that 400+ of those were Taliban. Lying by omission is still lying.

#22 They can always, always find an unnamed Arab to say anything outrageous. A society ruled by fantastic, loony rumor-mongering.

#24 Zarqawi was also in mid-goat rape but you don't see that reported. In repect of the relgion of puss of course.

#25 Even the Leftperts this weekend had to admit that Zark would at minima been severely wounded iff not blown to smithereenies/atomized, wid the latter more realistic given the substandard house that appears to had been the target - read, MORE BOOM-BOOM THAN SAFE BRICK.
