If they aren’t wearing uniforms then they are criminals.

Mohammad had better hose those 72 virgins down - it will be a busy week at Martyr Reception.

I like the Virginians better, the jerks causing an issue over in Iraq and Afghanistan need a drubbing in the afterlife as well.

So there were 48 Iranians killed and one Iraqi killed in the raid (the one Iraqi of the group to make it an Iraqi Insurgency group)...

/sarcasm off

The reinforcements were ordered into Iraq earlier this year by Bush and have inflicted a heavy toll on militants on both sides of Iraq's sectarian divide. American commanders credit the troop buildup for a sharp drop in the number of attacks and deaths of U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians, particularly in the past two months.

The surge is a hugh success in spite of being opposed by traitorcrats.

No doubt. That is why victory is at hand

Care to provide an estimate in Friedman Units?

I hate that headline. We’re talking about terrorists, not special groups operatives.

It almost sounds as if some of our special group members could have been killed.

When I read the headline I thought this was bad news not good news.

Yeah. Less than one.

Special Groups is what the scumbucket Iranians call their vermin, lowlife, subterranian, worthless, oxygen-wasting operatives in Iraq.

Sorry about that. I just copied the headline from the article and didn’t pay much attention to it.

This is in spite of the RATS.

A .408 is lighter, faster and more accurate than a .50cal round. Some of the guns in that caliber also employ a suppressor, so there’s significantly less sound. You do hear a nice crack but it’s not like an explosion.
