#1 Their reports state that it was nearly impossible to distinguish between dead Americans and dead collaborators because both were wearing the same uniforms.

'Collaborators' are Iraqi soldiers, and 'Iraqi resistance fighters' are some jihadis from Sudan, Egypt, Syria, etc. etc.
I suppose this is what is called 'Muslim logic'.

#2 These guys are doing a great job of putting out propaganda. It must be supremely disillusioning to show up in Iraq and find out that the locals hate them, and that American troops are slaughtering guerrillas of every faction like sheep.

#3 Mike,
Can you add a caveat when posting Jihad Unspun propaganda? JU has as much connection with 21st century reality as Buck Rodgers does with 25th century reality.

From CNN:
An American military convoy was struck Monday morning by a roadside bomb on a crowded street in central Baghdad, wounding at least 15 Iraqi civilians, witnesses said. The witnesses said the five-vehicle convoy was passing through a bridge at the end of Haifa Street -- site of clashes between U.S. troops and insurgents -- when an improvised explosive device detonated. No U.S. casualties were reported.

#4 ed: Can you add a caveat when posting Jihad Unspun propaganda?

I think the Jihad Unspun tag speaks for itself.

#5 Posting JU without caveat or comment gives it implicit credibility as when posting AP, BBC, ArabNews articles. When Memri articles are posted there is most often the tanker load of salt caveat, but Memri at least has a shot of being correct, while JU's lies have the sole purpose to pump up the Arab's manhood.

#6 the sole purpose to pump up the Arab's manhood.

can't we just get their e-mail addresses and hook them up with devices that will do it for only $19.95?
