NON-GRIM MILESTONE REACHED

Notes Chuck Simmins:

Sometime on December 27, 2007, in a fierce gun battle in Al Kut, a milestone was reached.

The 20,000th AIF [Anti Iraqi Forces] terrorist was killed by our troops.

Good.

  5. Hi. I’m Ash. I’m here to serve the drinks.

     


    We can’t kill enough terrorists. Ever.

  6. This isn’t part of the 650,000 that Lancet claim were killed, right?

    As in, this figure is reached using actual maths, isn’t it?

  7. Ash, they used the standard mathematical formula, simply count the legs and divide by two.

  8. But the ultimate question is whether we Americans have the stomach for this fight, whether we can drop our sentimental “we are the world” multiculturalist fantasies and speak plainly about Islam and its dysfunctions, whether we can cast off the hair shirt of colonial and imperial guilt so eagerly donned by self-loathing Western elites.

  9. It is grim.  Way too low…

  10. #7 So not Lancet’s theory, count the legs and triple, surfie?

  11. Lancet use the tried and true:

    Death toll = number of arms and legs + 3.6 multiplied by your grandmothers age x 10.  Simple really.

  12. Ahhhh, ok Surfie, gotcha. I did wonder what their formula was.

  13. #8 The national socialists will insist we wear black sackcloth and ashes as sign of our guilt.

  14. Why didn’t we try to reason with these 20,000?

  15. A nice round figure.
    Please double it ASAP.

  16. Big deal.

    This week’s public enemy no 1 is
    climate change.

    Call the MSM when we a have setback please.

    We are supposed to be looking for “root causes”
    not kicking arse.

    Death toll = number of arms and legs + 3.6 multiplied by your grandmothers age x 10.  Simple really.

    And here’s me thinking that the Lancet formula is the old military (arsepluck V).

  18. Man, that is going to require about 1.44 million virgins - or raisins.  The Sunraysia district could help you with the latter, but I can’t think of anywhere in OZ that could supply the first! (Even if we try counting sheep! [no NZed jokes, please])

  19. Just watching Parkinson. Lurv this line from a (comedian) guest - don’t know his name.

    “Tony Blair is now the Middle East Peace Envoy - that’s like asking a mosquito to cure malaria”.

  20. Why didn’t we try to reason with these 20,000?

    We did, using “5.56mm logic”, sometimes varied with “7.62mm logic” or “20mm logic”.  Simple, really.

  22. The 20,000th AIF [Anti Iraqi Forces] terrorist was killed by our troops.
    Hmmm. Just let me run that line through my pirated copy of ENPS (ABC ver. 2.1)
    The 20,000th AIF [Authentic Iraqi Farmer] gentle Iraqi goat herder returning to his fields after celebrating his daughter’s wedding was slaughtered by our too ignorant to know better racist troops.
    Perfect.

  23. Great news!

    The 27th was my birthday.  Couldn’t have received a better present.  I’ll be a lot more demanding next year!

  24. Sorry it’s late, but Happy Birthday, yojimbo! Did you get shorted on presents when you were a child because it’s so close to Christmas? My mother & I both did - hers is Dec 11, so I kinda understand, but mine is November 8, fercrissakes!

    Back on topic…20,000, eh? Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of a—holes! Yay!

  26. Sad we had to hear this great stat here on a blog. Pity it isn’t the lead line on the front page of tomorrow’s Australian. That’s where this kind of issue needs to be featured.

    All credit to the superb young Americans pushing shit at the dirty end.

  27. I read somewhere once:

    “Before Pearl Harbour, Japan was a political problem. After, it was an engineering problem”

    Substitute event and enemy where necessary…
