First militant: “I don’t mean to sound pessimistic, Bakr, but I was under the impression that our righteous resistance would lead to a weakening of the Great Satan’s will. If anything, we seem to be making them angrier and more determined to crush us under their filthy, infidel boots.”*
Second militant:”A mirage, Ibrahim. The paper tigers are lashing out against us now precisely because their ill-considered offensive is in its death throes. Our ability to manipulate their media and herd the soft, small minds of their fat and decadent populace is proving too much for them. Even their Cowboy Chimp is making overtures about ending his brazen adventure into sacred lands.”*
First militant: “Sure, sure. But in the meantime, those demonic helicopter gunships are doing more than a little damage to the torsos of our brothers.”
Second militant: “Well, yes. But try to think of that as part of the Big Plan, with Allah simply doing some light pruning to the Great Flower of Islam. Because once you do that, it all begins making perfect sense…”*

I never do this, but it’s “populace”.
Clearly, I can’t write posts, read long pedantic attempts to deconstruct my positions—and respond to said pedantic attempts—and keep my homophones straight at the same time. My apologies.
Isn’t the phrase “homophones straight” an oxymoron?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I’d just like to take a minute to send a special Rosh Hashanah greeting to the boys in the Haditha bunker (and, really, to all the jihadis out there).
Because you know they just loooooove the Jewish holidays!
Let’s airlift in some pulled pork barbecue so that our Muslim Jihadi friends can kick off their Rosh Hashanah celebrations right!
BECAUSE OF THE JIHOCRISY!!
Marine Sniper:”See, the pathetic part about these targets is they wear freaking long white robes, which are pretty much like big walking bullseyes.”
Iraqi Sniper:”Most pathetic yes. They don’t seem to be able to run very fast in them either. May I take the next one?”
Marine Sniper:”Sure. Wanna use my M40A3?”
Iraqi Sniper:”Would I…..I believe Hoo-AH! is the term, yes?”
Too violent. What’s really important here is that those filthy infidel boots sound darling.
This ol’war does get nuanced don’t it? Why for a moment there I almost thought that we should give in. Nah…nuke em till they glow.
TW local: as in the problem seems to be getting more and more local. Jihad is a friend in need!
…and they’ll have fun, fun, fun, ‘til Daddy takes their Jihad away.
While in Iraq the righteous soldiers of Allah scamper from house to house trying not to present their rascally butts to the Infidel markspersons, there are other Jihadis lurking in the US of A, scheming to destroy all creation, and getting a lot of aid in their efforts from the American Left. Just a couple of weeks ago, SCORES of protesters flocked to Washington D.C. to add their voices to the hundreds of protesting videographers and photographers and other journalists who had been magnifying the vigil of Saint Cindy the Professionally Bereavedâ„¢.
I can imagine a conversation taking place somewhere in Boston or Brooklyn or Buffalo, wherever it is that freedom-fighting Jihadis dream of their waiting virgins between anti-personell bomb assembly sessions:
