Overheard inside a Ramadi bunker, Thursday, Feb 24

First militant:  “May I ask you something, Hassan…?”

Second militant:  “What is it now, brother?  Can you not hear the American military aircraft screaming overhead?  We are at war, Tamir.  You must concentrate.”

First militant:  “Well, that’s what I was going to ask you about.  When the Jews and dogs in the American media report that the Great Satan is targeting ‘insurgent strongholds’ with 500 lb. bombs, does this mean our little ramshackle building is a target, too?”

Second militant:  “I’m afraid so, yes. But Allah willing, we shall survive the infidel’s attacks and by force of arms inflict much pain upon the invaders and their libertine allies.”

First militant: “I see.  And there’s no way we can do those things with, say, a very sternly-worded op-ed in the New York Times, instead…?”

Second Militant::  “Clearly your father didn’t strike you enough as a child, Tamir.”

    I hate to see a post without any comments attached.

    Ward Churchill Calling on the Sat Phone:”Just remember my brothers, YOU are the ones who have taken the fight where it belongs. We here in the US are behind you in taking it to the man. Maybe one day we will be able to join forces and finally strike the killing blow against this Evil Imperial Kleptocracy…”

    Second Militant:”Perhaps you’d like to join us now Infidel Churchill. Oho! We could certainly use a man of your courage at this hour.”

    Ward Churchill Calling on the Sat Phone:”I would, but the rethuglicanazis have revoked my Amex corporate card from UC Boulder, and I’m a little, er, short. But I am with you in spirit brothers!!”

    First militant: “I’ll be right back. I need to … er … feed my goat.”

    Second militant: (Two hours later) “Hey! Tamir traded away his goat for an xBox!”

    Hey, how come these guys are speaking English? Something’s not right here.

    They’re not, BigB.

    Jeff has a special HTML tag that does the translation from Arabic to English out of pure consideration for his readers and commenters.

    Because that’s just the kind of caring blog he runs here. Caring, giving, considerate…that’s Jeff.

    My father struck me plenty as a child and I turned out to not be a terrorist. Teenage insurgent, sure, but that’s normal.
