Updated: I Met Him At The Candy Store

A jihadist group in Iraq is denying the report. Who knows? The song is still good, so shut up!

I always did find the ending rather touching! Vroom! Vroom! Old Shangri-Las video below.

As he drove away on that rainy night
I begged him to go slow
But whether he heard, I'll never know

Look out! Look out! Look out! Look out!
The leader of Iraq - now he's gone

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The leader of al Qaeda in Iraq was killed on Tuesday in a fight between insurgents north of Baghdad, the Interior Ministry spokesman said, but the U.S. military said it could not confirm the report.

There has been growing friction between Sunni Islamist al Qaeda and other Sunni Arab insurgent groups over al Qaeda's indiscriminate killing of civilians and its imposition of an austere brand of Islam in the areas where it holds sway.

Think about that for a minute: 'Growing friction' between groups over indiscriminate killings.

That's like eavesdropping on a conversation inside a Salvador Dali painting.

Wait until the Lib commenters come by and point to al-qaeda's non-discrimination policy as proof of how much more moral they are than Bush.

[Fred Beloit]

Seems like it is still unconfirmed. Won't open the champaign just yet.

BREAKING: Report FALSE!! You didn't really expect competence, did you?

[southdakotaboy]

Hey it is alright if its false. If we get these rumors flying around those paranoid twits will turn on each other anyway. That is the inherent trouble with these gangster like terrorist cells. In order to survive they have to function with a high level of paranoia, because there are real enemies out to get them. But when they are under such constant stress they begin to make mistakes. If we can keep the pressure on them to the point that they begin to jump at shadows the whole house of cards will come crumbling down on them. When it happens it should start to come undone very fast.

[Hard Right]

No confirmation on the story. It would be nice tho.

[Capitalist Infidel]

Another hero of the left bites the dust

[southdakotaboy]

This would be a good time to start to give some of the locals visas and money to come to the US if they would appear on TV saying they turned in or even killed some insurgents. Show them with the dead bodies really play it up. You know have a host wth a couple of good looking girls handing Abdul a great big check. Turn it into a weekly event or even a nightly 10 pm just befor the news kind of thing.
It would be like throwing blood into a pool of piranhas. HE HE HE HE (evil laugh)

haha.... SDB .. "The Turncoat Turns". God, what a great show.

Contestant #1 - "Here I am with my bomb. Bomb goes off... poooph. 27 dead."

[Audience cheers wildly as "Scar Spangled Banner" plays Iraq's national anthem.

Contestant #2 - "Here I am tearing off Abdullah's veil. oh. Wrong video. Show killing video, please!"

Good grief - blood into a pool of piranhas????

[Phoenix]

I feel so helpless, what can I dooo ?
I see my Danny driving off in his new Bel-Air
A Big Gulp jammed up next to his pair
Now they all laugh without a care...
And tell me he was just a dog...
All he cared about was playing on his blog.

Look out! Look out! Look out!
A storm's coming to knock out the cable...
Heh.... I guess I'll just lean over his table...

Vroom, vroom, vroom......... oooooh yeah.
The Leader of the hacks, the leader of the hacks...

[southdakotaboy]

Sorry Phoenix, I forgot to add " right before you throw the victim in" Cue evil laughter!

[Phoenix]

How about "Iraqi Idol" ?

Give ten contestants a bunch of weapons and their personal camera man. They have one week to kill as many terrorists as they can.

Hmm....that sounds more like "Iraqi Survivor".

How about something totally new. Tuesday nights on FOX: "Creative Killers in Iraq". Filmed for a week, we get to see how inventive an Iraqi mercenary can get in his killing methods. You know.... like, maybe one serves a terrorist some pork BBQ and tells the guy after he eats it....then he kills him and hollers: "NO virgins for you, Terrorist!"

:)

[southdakotaboy]

Speaking of pork. Did you know that large groups of pigs that are used to people feeding them will attack and kill people who enter their pens without food. That has some interesting possiblities don't you think? We could call it " Ultimate Pig Fighting " and it could be pay per view. We could clear out Gitmo in a hurry.

[Hard Right]

Pig bombs. We wire up pigs with explosives and send them into houses where terrorists are hiding-kabooooom! No paradise for you!

The great battle of 'Pork Chop Kill'.

Seriously, I don't know why we don't take some of those half-starved porkers SDB is talking about.... all gnarlyed-up for their next feeding, and do a B52 drop over Baghdad. Drop several thousand of the squealers.

Just think...we could do a bunch of Fox News Alerts to let the country know MIDDLE AMERICA won the war on terror for us!

In a midnight raid, 200,000 porkers with porkachutes on were dropped over Baghdad. As the virgin-seekers tore out across the desert, Black Hawks picked them off like sitting ducks. The troops are delighted and the smell of BBQ is wafting up from the city as the victory celebrations begin.
