#1 the dead guy at the bottom looks like he has a semtex vest on - never got a chance to use it?
The top snuffie lost his mind......

#3 Not yer regular jihadi garb. Either way, missing half his head is hardly a big deal for the guy...not as if he was really putting to any use.

#5 It looks like a civilian version of the Russian LCE vest. They can be bought pretty cheaply in the parts of the world where the AK is king. And on ebay too...

#8 One of the Marines got a clean melon shot on the guy in the background. The Marines do not spray-and-pray, unlike the jiihadis. Good shooting, fellahs.

#10 Just off the top of your head, why do you think those nice muslim boys got into that business?

#11 I don't see any visible wounds on the lower one. Maybe the vest wasn't that helpful after all, except for concealing injuries.

#14 smokey, I think he just realized why the 72 ladies are still virgins....

Isn't it in the Koran that they (the virgins) do not menstrate and cannot ever be 'deflowered'. (meaning they aren't 'equipped' right...).

#17 I can't click the link 'cuz I'm at work. Sounds pretty bad though. Hope we can get more pictures like this up on the web to provide a nice counterpoint to the jihadi beheading videos.

#18 Oh sorry.
Some guy said he got it off an AP newswire feed.
I asked for more, but was unable to procure anymore.

Said the guy worked for a US newspaper, but I didn't find out if he was embedded westerner or arab contract photojournalist.

What really struck me is how NEW that vest looks.
Also, these guys actually have shoes and clothing in decent condition.

Also, I think that black thing is the jihadis balaclava and some US/Iraqi soldier removed it after he was shot. Notice the matter lying past the black cloth.

#22 It's payback time:

Sleeping on the job eh Mr. Jihadi?

(obscure reference, but some of you might know where it comes from)

#23 Looks like some one was playing UrT in their spare time. (if you got that obscure reference, quite ur camping)

#24 Perhaps I better explain. There was a photo of a dead American soldier on one of the Islamonazi sites (discovered via LGF), with a comment that said "sleeping on the job?". I've been waiting for payback, and two jihadis in one shot is more than I could have hoped for. More please. And faster.
