Terrorists? What nonsense!! These were merely depressed suicidal college students who didn't have a bus-stop bench handy so had to sit in a car instead.

They're going to have to change the number on the sign out front: "THIS WORKPLACE HAS BEEN INJURY-FREE FOR ( 0 ) CONSECUTIVE DAYS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK."

There are also reports on Iraqi sites that 'jihadis' are not volunteers, but that Al Queda holds their families hostage.
I would not doubt this for a minute. This is typical gang/thuggery tactics. Islamic radicalism not withstanding.

While we wasted valuable time at the corrupt UN, the well documented mass murderer and torturer Saddam Hussein was stockpiling ammo like these 122 mm projectile shells all around the country and training terrorists on how to use them as car and road bombs.
Which is a little fact that the media never analyze with their so-called "experts".
To: COEXERJ145
I'm eagerly awaiting the al-OSHA report.
