about potential pill-popping by "insurgents," I just had to wonder a few things.
And speaking of courage, I know a thing or two about "liquid courage." Being a part of a people who pride themselves on drink, drink, and more drink, I would expect this sort of pill-popping crap from my brothers. But the "insurgents" are far more noble, being Holy Warriors of God, right? They follow strict rules in order to better themselves and obtain the favor of Allah. If these reports are true, I guess there must be a miscommunication between themselves and their Holy Book (and what would the odds be of that hypocracy ever happening in the Religion of Peace?):
"O you who believe, intoxicants, and gambling, and the altars of idols, and the games of chance are abominations of the devil; you shall avoid them, that you may succeed." Quran 5:90
Now I see! The reason we are kicking their asses is because the "insurgents" have gone astray! If only they avoided being meth-heads, they would succeed. If only they had faith, they could truly stand against American and British tanks and destroy them with fireballs from their eyes and bolts of lightning from their arses.
But since intoxicants are the work of the devil, and the United States is the Great Satan, then it follows that OUR government interjected the drugs into these peaceful societies. First the CIA introduces crack into urban communities and now this. Oh, it has all the markings of a KKKarl Rove operation. You magnificent bastard!

The source is the Mirror UK - I wouldn't give them any credibility. Today a story about insurgent drug use - tomarrow American soldiers abusing Iraqi children of something stupid like that. Its all sensationalist filler for a rag. They're just looking to cover all the bases.

Actually hondo, it has been known for a while now that the jihadotards are routinely high as a kite when caught or killed. Even arabs aren't generally stupid enough to stand their ground against US forces. Their drug of choice seems to be opiates.

Yes maxie - I know - opiates allow them the illusion of "medicinal" strength and courage - allows them to rationalise their use within islamic culture.
I just hate our using the Mirror UK as a suppportive source because their crap.

Yeah, I always have to wonder about the Mirror's validity, hence why I added the words "potential" and "if true," because I do remember some real whoppers served up in the past. If anything, I just find the idea interesting if only because I reflect on the stories of Mohammad Atta going to strip clubs and getting drunk regularly while in Florida... I guess jihadists can be very utilitarian "ends justify means" sort of people, when it comes to themselves that is. If only snoops.com could get to the bottom of this one.

As I posted before : 40 years ago one of the surest ways of identifying a FNG or a REMF was by how much respect they gave the enemy. Googling "drug use among insurgents in Iraq" didn't produce much, one item from nov 2004 in the second battle of fallujah where Marines found adrenaline and amphetamines. Under "opiate use in Iraq" many entries but all seem to be from the same source. with the exact same quotes. "fun fact ....." Of course opiates do have many beneficial medicinal qualities. Great for dysentery and helpful against shock .http://www.israellycool.com/blog/_archives/2005/1/17/251080.html http://www.washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20051121-093501-9601r.htm When deep in the woods I always take along something strong for pain. It will keep keep you going.

Agent Brown says that delusional and impaired thinking destroys military effectiveness. When delusional and impaired thinking afflicts the leadership of a massive military effort, the effort is doomed to failure.

a reoccuring post to follow ...
Agent Smith
Mort Sahl was a satirist and an ultra-liberal and was quite funny and good at it.
Al Franken is a satirist and an ultra-liberal and not funny at all - he's actually quite bad at it.
You wish to be a satirist (as opposed to a comedian - there is a difference) - and follow in the footsteps of lil' Al.
Well - those are tiny shoes to fill, and you are doing an adequate job of it.

Agent Brown believes that Hondo is projecting his desires to wear small shoes.

Winey, you're dead on. They've had to wire up their hostages and their suicide bombers with ketamine and meth to make 'em talk or make 'em fight. Sadr is running Afghan heroin and the Sunnis are running Syrian and Lebanese ganja. And Iran blames the US for all that heroin smuggling from Afghanistan while the mullahs probably have the concession to themselves.
Drinking societies are successful societies. Look at the British Empire.

Go to San Francisco and you will find that the biggest drug dealers and now the muslim dogs. Irony here, that they claim not to use drugs. Maybe they just sell them? Perhaps the stupid koran allows that.
Received a E-mail from some dope head muslim freak who says and an ignorant for not reading the koran. Now, I wonder who is the most ignorant. Those who don't read the koran or those stupid enough to believe in such bullshit.
?
I used to believe muslims were just backward dumbasses. Now I believe muslims are stupid backward dumbasses.
