File under: al-Qaeda in Iraq

#1 To all the Al Qaeda in Iraq, turn the light off when you slink away in the dark of the night.

#2 88 is a code word used by white supremacists to mean Heil Hitler. I hope it's a coincidence in this case.

#3 You "hope it's a coincidence"? What a terrible thing to imply. Surely you haven't the slightest doubt that it is purely coincidental?

#4 Gromky that is deeply insulting to the US military.

Task forces are numbered sequentially based on their composition. For instance, the combined joint task force that took on Afghanistan in 2001 was CJTF 180.

Task force 88 has been operational for years. It has been responsible for taking down the worst of the Ba'athists including Saddam himself.

You owe those servicemen and women a public apology.

#6 all these changing names...

The wife asked me the other day..."why are my muslim patients always changing their names? - It ruins our record keeping and makes the mandated lifetime mental health assessments a disaster."

I just had to tell her it goes with the religion and being truthful.

#7 3dc: are those people born into the religion or converts?

#8 #2 88 is a code word used by white supremacists to mean Heil Hitler. I hope it's a coincidence in this case.

And "number 2" is a code word used by young children to mean poop. Probably not a coincidence in this particular case.
