NBC News is whining about the fact that a Marine "apparently" shot an unarmed insurgent inside a mosque. This is apparently reason to suggest a trial and to start asking military law experts about the guilt of our obviously bloodthirsty and evil stormtroopers.

Message: I DON'T CARE.

So an Islamist was shot in Fallujah. So he might have been unarmed. So what?

I could absolutely care less about the supposed immorality of this Marine's actions; I'd much rather be giving the man a medal for heads-up thinking, especially against a suicidal enemy.

Bravo zulu to the unnamed Marine, curses to the NBC cameraman so eager to trip up our armed effort, and a 'hope you enjoy hell' to the dead Islamist.

The following text was recovered from the copy desk at al-Jazeera, the Arab world's premiere satellite news channel. Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

"Brothers! A great victory has been won for our cause! We have struck a great blow against the Western invaders, by killing the leader of an insidious Western logistics network. With the death of CARE worker Margaret Hassan, we strike another blow for the re-establishment of the Caliphate and the perpetual reign of Islam uber alles. Er, over all. The infidel woman's organization, CARE---which is not to be confused with our American propaganda arm, CAIR---was guilty of distributing aid and relief to the suffering peoples of Iraq, and for this her sentence was death.

Meanwhile, in lesser news, a meaningless American victory was temporarily achieved in the unimportant city of Fallujah. There are no Americans in Fallujah. Even now, they are committing suicide upon the walls of the city. That is, they would be committing suicide, if they were in the city in the first place, which they are not. We now return you to our regular programming, "The Deep Love of Mohammed for His Camel".

This publication, of course, is readily impressed with the martial prowess of the Base of Jihad group, and commends them for their daring victory against a dangerous enemy. After all, it's very hard to put a pistol against the head of a blindfolded captive; it's one of the most difficult shots in the Terrorist Executions for Dirtbags handbook. Also, I'd like to commend Base of Jihad for knowing its strengths. Soldiers and Marines in Fallujah were too much, so they scaled back their goals to something those camel-buggering dirtbags could handle, like an outnumbered and outgunned old woman.

Prayers for Margaret Hassan and her family, and damnation for the Islamists responsible.

From reports garnered off of CNN's live feed early yesterday morning, and subsequently verified here, over 500 of the enemy have been killed by our troops in Fallujah, while the bums have managed to kill 18 of ours. Our brave allies have sustained 5 dead, according to the aforementioned CNN report.

In any event, these numbers render a kill ratio of 22:1, rounded to the nearest whole number. This is a good start. I like seeing these sorts of numbers. Perhaps---although I am not hopeful---such statistics could be conveyed to the enemy in such a way that they would be convinced of the futility of resistance, and lay down their arms to contribute to the new Iraq. On the other hand, if they will not, then I wholly support running that number to somewhere north of 50:1. Ideally, the enemy would not have managed to kill any of our troops, but that is not the way war works, and I regret it.

Congratulations to our forces and those of our Iraqi allies. I'm proud of you; keep up the good work.

According to Jen Martinez, the Air Force is using the B-52 Stratofortress against targets in Fallujah. Since I'm a fan of the old Strategic Air Command and American jet bombers in general, this is grimly good news. Actually, I couldn't help but get the Evil Calvin Grin when I read about it.

I, in an obvious display of tactical air power genius not seen since Samuel Pierpont Langley, recommended the use of the B-52 in Fallujah a while back.¹ Admittedly, I'm no SAC/ACC planner, so I haven't the foggiest as to how they're being employed. The article quoted by Ms. Martinez does not suggest any sort of tactical employment, but I doubt they're doing the three-ship cell carpet bombing that I suggested. It has been, however, suggested that the B-52s are being used as on-call close air support. And how!

At any rate, I'd hate to be the Baathist in a bathrobe---or whatever it is these guys wear that looks like bedclothes---who had to duel with a Stratofortress' bomb load. After all, it's difficult to do anything with your 72 virgins if you've been reduced to component molecules.

I hear we've lost 11 soliders and Marines to the enemy; I'd like to thank those servicemen for their service & sacrifice, and thank their families for letting us have them. To our valiant forces, good luck and God bless; I pray for your safety and swift victory. more...
