He hailed the car carrying the feared leader of Al Qaeda in the neighborhood, a man known as the White Lion, on one of Amariyah’s main streets. “We want you to stop destroying our neighborhood,” he told the man.
“Do you know who you are talking to?” said the White Lion, getting out of his car. “I am Al Qaeda. I will destroy even your own houses!”
He pulled out his pistol and shot at Abul Abed. The gun jammed. He reloaded and fired again. Again, the gun jammed.
By this time, Abul Abed said, he had pulled his own gun. He fired once, killing the White Lion.
“I walked over to him, stepped on his hand and took his gun,” Abul Abed, which is a nom de guerre, said at his new, pink-painted headquarters in a renovated school in Amariyah, as an American Army captain seated in the corner nodded his head in affirmation of the account. “And then the fight started.”

I love it when God has an angel use his little pinky finger to jam the bad guy’s weapon. Twice. Enjoy your time in Hell, Mr. Lion.

Democracy rocks!

Two edged sword if ever there was one. This will either work out very well, as it has so far, or it will turn out very badly.
Double up and bet the rent money on black.
Might as well.

Kimba was cute when he was a cub but he went bad so like many other young stars.
BDavis on November 23, 2007 at 11:56 PM
agreed MB4, if it is handled right, it will go very well. the trick is not giving the various militias too much power. ultimately, federalization is the goal….

Infidel4life:LMAO,thought about the bad guy using the
mortar in the video a few months ago,an
Angel,conveniently,put it’s hand over the
top of the mortar.hehe.

Absolutely! I forgot about that one, LOL.
infidel4life on November 24, 2007 at 1:13 AM
I don’t think God had much to do with it. These idiots are notoriously bad at keeping their weapons clean. It’s one of the many faults which make them so easy to kill.

Hmmm…published in the Trib by a Trib foreign correspondent. The Sunni’s have had an “awakening”. Could this be the beginning of an “awakening” for the American People?

My quote of the year 2007… now that man has something to be dam proud of.

Man, a dozen comments and not one 80s hair rock reference?
jummy? you around?
Hannibal Smith on November 24, 2007 at 2:46 AM
Well, He did create some idiots.
Smart move on His part too.
If we didn’t have “idiots”, how would we know what “smart” is?

Marvelous! Magnifico! And the dude actually appreciates seeing a burka-less woman in tight jeans! They are learning my friends, they are learning.
I wonder what page the Chic-Trib hid this article on? Section D, pg. 7, next to the movie section?
SouthernPride on November 24, 2007 at 9:36 AM
Women in tight jeans? WOOO HOOO! FREEDOM WINS AGAIN!
Hannibal, I was thinkin’ the same thing – Somebody killed White Lion??? His last words were “Wait. Wait. I never had a chance to love you.”
Tony737 on November 24, 2007 at 9:52 AM
Dude calls himself “White Lion”. What a dork. This reminds me of a great line in “True Lies” …
“They call him the Sand Spider.”
“Why?”
“Probably because it sounds scary.”
Haha LOVE that movie!
Tony737 on November 24, 2007 at 9:58 AM
“Do you know who you are talking to?”
Ugh! That makes me wanna shoot him to! Yeah, I know who you are, b!tch, that’s why I brought this! BAM! Say hello to leeetle friend! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Tony737 on November 24, 2007 at 10:01 AM
Good for them! The Iraqi people deserve to have the freedom to come and go as they please. Of course it would be worse, they could live in DC :)
Outrage in England link
