It's very frustrating when I put three words in the body of the post and the forum software insists on excerpting it.

Sadar's thugs are going to be deeply saddened when they find out the virgins they promised are not waiting for them on the other side.

God bless our guys!

LOts of blam blam blammm going down in ol' Karbala tonight...

3 specific "houses" are being targeted, Bradleys and Abrams tanks involved , Puff AC-130 gunship overhead as well as attack helies.

Looks like it's time to void the franchise of Sadr's local admiration society in Karbala,, permanently.
