First militant: “The House of Saud is demanding Syria pull its troops from Lebanon, Hassan. And Kuwait is cracking down on Saudi imams teaching Wahhabism –”
Second militant: “– Irrelevant, Tamir. Anomalous. A transitory setback to our righteous cause.”
First militant: Uh huh. Except that Syria now wants peace talks with the Zionist devil, and many of our Arab brothers in Iraq are chanting in the streets for an end to terrorism.”
Second militant: “So? Cowards, all of them! Cowards whose shortsightedness betrays a lack of historical perspective and a willingness to surrender their pusilanimous souls to the Great Satan and its alliance of filthy curs.”
First militant: “Well, sure. But soon enough, elections will be the rule in Egypt, and the UAE and the Saudis are each making noise about wishing to reform –”
Second militant: “– And Allah will punish them for their lack of faith, Tamir, you will see. Meantime, we must be doubly strong in their stead.”
First militant: “Yeah, I guess…”

Second militant:
First militant: “…So, famed domestic diva Martha Stewart was released from prison this morning –”
Second militant: “– Y’know, you are really starting to make me regret hooking up that satellite dish, Tamir…”

Turing Word: know
As in I know you’ll end up making Tamil & Hassan famous in a ‘Overheard in an Iraqi Bunker’ book.
Hey! Hassan’s lines look suspiciously like Ward Churchill’s lines from that speech of his… and Ward Churchill IS 1/64th Wahhabi on his mother’s side.. or so he leads people to believe.. I thought this was all an overheard dialogue from Iraq.. but I see what it really is.. a Metaphor for the plight of the fake American Indian under the boot of American oppression..
sneaky.. very sneaky Jeff..

Spambuster: business
As in: There’s NO business like SHOW business like NO business I know…. except Identity Studies.. thats like show business I guess.
Delightful! Keep these coming please….says the new reader.
Well-written scene. The only really difficult thing to get beyond in suspension of disbelief was the use of “pusilanimous.” C’mon, now. With at least 70% of Islamic jihadists functionally illterate, you want me to believe you’ve found one that can use “pusilanimous” in a conversation? How does one say pusilanimous ___ in conversational Arabic, anyway? “Dog-sucking, cowardly ____” (كلب؛ شخص تاÙÂه؛ ÙƒÙÂب؛ الكلب-المص؛ إمتصاص؛ رش٠جبان؛ خائÙÂ)? Or maybe just “أخ؛ شقيق؛ صديق ØÂميم؛ صديق؛ الصنومضارع “(خاصتي؛ ضمير المتكلم المضا٠اليه
(like my brother).
(Yeh, go ahead and point out the syntax and spelling errors. It’s all chicken-scratch, anyway.)
كلب؛ شخص تاÙÂه؛ ÙƒÙÂب؛ الكلب-المص؛ إمتصاص؛ رش٠جبان؛ خائÙÂ
You take that back!
“Libyan leader calls to fight terrorism” … sounds like a pretty good idea.
“Report: Syria expels terror leaders”
“Syria to begin troop redeployment Monday”
