Overheard inside a Najaf bunker, Tuesday, August 9

First militant: “Do you feel that, Azhar?  That sense of foreboding that hangs like a ripe fig over the city?”

Second militant: “You worry too much, Qasim.  The paper tigers of the Great Satan fear the holy warriors of Allah too much to venture close enough to do us harm.  We are safe here, my brother—believe me.  Now, let us put concern out of our minds and build the IEDs that will cleanse the land of filthy infidels by unleashing the fires of Allah’s mighty wi –”

First militant: “– Shhh, wait!  Did you hear that, Azhar?  That cracking sound?”

Second militant:

First militant: “Azhar…?”

Second militant:

First militant: “Hmmm.  I don’t mean to sound alarmist, Azhar.  But you seem to be missing your head, my brother…”*

    I don’t know … I think a headless militant would be much scarier than one with a head.  I mean, imagine if he got up and started running around.  Then everyone would start shouting, “Shoot him in the head!!!!”.  But no one would know where it was.

    I mean, think of how scary Howard Dean would be without his head.  Then, think about how scary that head would be – lurking around out there, ready to attack ….

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

    Spam word: think.  I may be overthinking this, though.

    I don’t know if anyone saw the drone footage yesterday: amazing.  It located three jihadis loading up RPG launchers and followed them home, waited for them to go inside, them blew up the whole place.  Amazing.

    Yeah, the concept of a “Headless Hadji” is pretty impressive Jay.  I’d prefer to see the Disney animated version of it instead of the Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration.  Burton’s been running on fumes since “Edward Scissorhands”.

    And besides, with a Disney movie, you get choreographed dance numbers, which is always a plus.

    You get it?  Because a sniper blew it off!

    (See what I did there?  Comic genius!)
