#1 Another statement in the name of Hamil al-Rashash (Holder of the Rifle) struck a more desperate note. "Help, help! Support, support!" it said addressing the Islamic ummah, or community. "Assistance, assistance! Where is your money? And where are your men?

This reminds me of the last scene in Duck Soup with Groucho (as Rufus Firefly) saying "Send reinforcements! And if you can't send reinforcements, send two more women!"

#2 Maybe Hollywood and the MSM could put together a telethon to help raise funds.

#3 Send mullahs, guns and money
The shit has hit the fan

Hey AlQ guys, lighten up. When I'm worried about something I ask myself, "What's the worst that can happen?" OK, for you maybe that's not such a good idea, since the worst that can happen involves a couple of angry Kurdish guys with blowtorches, but you see where I'm going. And remember: after you're dead, the New York Times will print long articles about how you weren't really important after all. So try to keep things in perspective, and remember, statistically speaking it's unlikely that the guy next to you is the one who ratted out Zarkman. Although he certainly had the opportunity and the motive.

#6 I kidnapped a waitress
the way I always do.
How was I to know
she was with the Kurdish too?

I was fighting in Fallujah
I took a little risk.

Binny, get me out of this!

An innocent jihadi
Somehow I got stuck.
Oh, Iraq is a hard place
And I'm down on my luck
Yeah, I'm down on my luck.

Now I'm hiding in Haditha
I'm a desperate man!
