#1 I understand AK-47 cost about $50 bucks in Iraq. A decent Romanian AK-47 costs about $350 bucks in the US. Do they ever wear the ski masks with the turban to make a high fashion statement? Plastic chairs are about $8 bucks anywhere.

#2 I shoulda checked with LH before making my smarmy comments. He's very concerned with the price of AKs in Peshawar and would know! ;-)

I do like the offsetting white scarf-thingy. This guy does know how to accessorize.

#3 How much do the official vests cost, I wonder?

In this photo it looks like one idiot sitting between each pair of doorways. So, are they resting or sitting guard over entrances to the alley?

#4 Are the Saudis still bankrolling all these weapons for their brother jihadists?

The ski masks are real cheap at Wal-Mart

Dar...I guess that explains the pink chair.

#7 Those ski masks must really nurture some world class acne cases. Think they go to bed with them on, too?

#8 Wonder what the temp in Gaza was yesterday?
"Yo, jihadi hero... Hot enough for ya!?"

#9 Green shirt? Brown pants? Black shoes? No, no, no. Oh, Mary. I'm thinking something in a mauve. It'll highlight that gaping hole a Hellfire is about to leave in your chest.
