#2 I wonder if there is an IQ test to be in al Quaeda? Once upon a time, there was a story that the mental test for draftees into the South Vietnamese Army was to attempt to place a 6 inch diameter ring over their heads. If it fit, they were deemed to not have sufficient mental capacity for military service. Given the pinheads in al Quaeda, maybe they should consider something similar. Declaring war on the Turks is not smart.

#4 Hope they spring these guys safely -- but what an idiotic demand, even by islamo-nut standards. They want Turkish companies to leave Iraq. Yeah, right. Turkey's gonna surrender one of its best contiguous markets, uh huh. While it's true one doesn't mess with the Turks lightly, in Iraq they're hamstrung by the general (and in Kurdistan, intense) dislike for anything smacking of official as opposed to commercial Turkish meddling.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the Turkish press is going to be devoting a lot of column inches to "why do they hate us?" thumbsuckers ....

#5 Verlaine - whyever not? ;-)

How are the LLL going to excuse this one? Turks aren't "Westerners" or "crusaders" "meddling" in Middle Eastern Arabs' affairs.

Wonder how Al-Jiz will spin it when these murdering fucknozzles cut off the heads of fellow moslems?

Dan Blather, Mikey Moore, and John F'ing Kerry are already working together to find a way to blame America. Their answer in 5, 4, 3...

#6 Fucknozzles ? That's a new one. And a good one.

#7 Can't claim credit, Crikey - I think it came from Misha.

Also "murdering crapweasels."

Misha definitely has a way with words. :-p

#8 Barbara's right - if they behead these Turks as they are threatening to do it will show yet again that AlQuada doesn't care about anyone and will further tick off Muslims, the Turks, and others.
