#1 Hey! Thats King Whatzizbutwicz who defeated the Ottomans at Vienna.
Very appropriate. He's my hero, just goes to show you what the Poles can do when you piss em off.
I don't think they understand what lurks beneath the blonde hair and blue eyes of your average pole.....I bet they get their pound of flesh out of this one. I expect to see a news release about a bunch of these lions of Islam going toesup.

#3 This is the third? case where women and kids were mistakenly killed by coalition forces in the past week or so. Is it a pattern yet or still coincidence? Specifically, are AQI employing a new suicide 'strategy' where they purposely attack from positions with hidden human 'shields' so the predictable counterattack will cause casualties to offend American and European sensitivities?

#4 It's the sausages. It's all about the sausages. Isn't it?

#5 Glenmore, from what I'm gleaning yes, AQI are dashing into buildings or taking them over w/ civilian hostages and then launching attacks from there.

#6 That's not a new report on the civilians, but a repeat. MNF-I denies the story as reported. The other "attack" involved CLC's, not true civilians, and there is some indication that they were not entirely innocent.
