The power outage in Spain and Portugal wasn't caused by extreme weather, but by an over-reliance on wind and solar. If the UK continues on its headlong path to Net Zero, we can expect similar failures.

Why do we fail to deport those whom we should deport? It's due in the end, says Dr David McGrogan, to an excess of pity. We are pitying ourselves into disorder and social decay. We need to be willing not to be nice.

Musab Al-Zarqawi

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Saturday May 06, 2006 18:47author by Sly Stallone Report this post to the editors

He does his Rambo thing

Dressed in his black fatigues, webbing and ammo pouches and wielding a box fed M249 SAW light machine gun in front of a desert landscape Mr. Zarqawi sure looks the part!

Pity he doesn't know the difference between semi-automatic and full automatic selection.
He should think twice about mixing it up with a US Marine who knows better.

"Pity he doesn't know the difference between semi-automatic and full automatic selection."

Neither do you mate. He had a stoppage and the other guy came in and cleared it. As far as i know the M249 only fires automatic, doesn't have a selector switch.

I know im being picky, but thats also a chest rig, not webbing.

Yeah, and he sure knows how to bomb and kill indescriminitely, regardless of people who have played no part in the Iraq war.

no one can match the yanks for indiscriminate killing -- no one even comes close. We all luv geniuses who can't see past their stupid brainwashed noses.

I suggest enlisting for the front line and learning the hard way -- you stunningly stupid person!
