#1 Two reactions:

1. Question for Michael Moore: were the guys who got offed the "true patriots and Minutemen," or their executioners? Which group should we root for?

2. Something for the Fallujah "insurgents" to consider: what if some of your "fighters" are really infiltrators from the U.S. Special Forces, the CIA, the Mossad, or their equivalents in Allawi's army? Mahmoud over there in the foxhole next to yours could be a double agent. If he acts suspiciously, maybe you should shoot him first, before he shoots you.

#3 Why, they're just like our Founding Fathers. Everybody know the story of how Gen. Washington popped a cap in the azz of any troop who didn't give him his propers.

#4 hehe , uplifting and budget saving news all in one ..

Just a shame their fucktard 'leader' Abu Musab al-Zarqawi isnt anywhere to be seen . no doubt left the area at the first hint of trouble . Anyway he's too busy rounding up defenceless civ's to worry about a proper gunfight .

#6 It's at least possible that these executions are the work of Iraqi troops or police, who are in no mood to show any mercy after the repeated slaughter of captured security personnel by Zarqawi's thugs.

#7 Here's the link to the WP story:
In the industrial area on Fallujah's south side, residents said Thursday that the bodies of 20 foreign fighters had been found outside a truck repair shop, many killed by a single shot to the head. Insurgents native to Fallujah said the foreigners were executed for deserting their positions when the U.S.-led assault on the city began Monday night.

That's very Stalin of them.

But residents said strains between the local insurgents and the foreigners quickly turned into a deep schism under the intense pressure of the U.S.-led offensive. When a senior Zarqawi commander was found dead of a bullet to the head during the battle, debate ensued over whether he was killed from a distance by a U.S. sniper or at close range by an Iraqi insurgent, residents said. Residents said everyone in the city, including the insurgents, was stunned by the firepower the Americans brought to the battle. Guerrillas counted 40 armored vehicles approaching their positions as night fell Monday.

Betcha laundries were busy washing all the soiled clothing. I can well imagine being on the unfriendly end of a Marine rifle company. Not pleasant.

#11 The reality of our offensive has to be a cold slap in the face for a lot of these guys. They live in a fantasy world in which fault always lies elsewhere and Allah will magically save them from harm.

Well when you torture people, cut off heads, blow them up and force your Wahabism down their throats you are a fool not to expect some sort of retribution. But I guess they just don't understand that. Give em hell Marines! Give em hell soldiers! Give em hell Airmen!

#13 "Splitters!!!!"

"Now Brian, I just want you to know that there isn't one of us here who wouldn't die for the cause."

"I wouldn't!"

"Oh, right, there is one..."

#14 When a senior Zarqawi commander was found dead of a bullet to the head during the battle, many interpreted his death as the result of an insurgent execution.

"Insurgent" execution?

Err--Seems common sense to me. Most folks don't want self-appointed foreign nitwits telling them what's important...
