Well done, subby!

/The militants must have been a bit sulky.

If it's a Kabul police station, I'm not sure if it's foreign occupiers.

Also, did you just insinuate that Fark finds terrorists as heroes?

Afternoon_Delight is both an idiot and a troll. An idiot because he constantly espouses moronic ultraconservative efforts, a troll because looking at his profile reveals that he is not in fact ultraconservative.

Imagine Sunny Ray without the talent or any other redeeming qualities.

Did anyone else have to look up the word "hansom" to get that?

mmmBop?

The next attack will come from above.

Was the cart pulled by goats?

Militants being creative enough to use readily available items to cause massive damage is nothing that should be laughed at. Maybe they used wooden carts, but they did what they wanted to do.

If ya read Sherlock Holmes, it contains many interesting references to the types of horse-drawn carriages.

Afternoon_Delight: Yes.

Sky rockets in flight....

AcornMan: Did anyone else have to look up the word "hansom" to get that?

I looked it up because I'd always thought a "hansom" was a carriage for a driver and one passenger...And I was right.

Still, subby did pretty OK in my book.

Your troll detector is :(

That's a surrey attempt at humor from the fringe lunatics.

Proven idea!

Especially if they miss and kill innocent civilians.

I'm not saying I agree with their methods or anything, but it still stands true that groups who have the willingness to do these things shouldn't be laughed at or made out to be incompetent fools for using wooden carts. The most dangerous enemy isn't the one that uses multi-million dollar equipment, it's the one who can find a way to fight with nothing.

My wife was at a Kandahar police training facility last week. I don't think she's going back. Hopefully that's the "let's attack the police in Afghanistan" quota for the month done.

Sad that I'm so used to this sort of news over there now, that I'm only concerned about people I know.

Afternoon_Delight: Nudge: did you just insinuate that Fark finds terrorists as heroes?


Yes.

Maybe you shouldn't be on Fark after all we side with the terrorist

//and you have a TF account that means you finance them

Subby,

Bad, Bad, BAD!!!

You deserved to be punished for that one.

No, they should be constantly be pointed out as the fools they are. Giving these people legitimacy is the worst thing possible, as others will inevitably follow their lead.

Only in numbers, or if we pay no attention. Treat them like the dumbass hillbillies they are, not like some dangerous warrior.

Some of us have read Sherlock Holmes :) That man singlehandedly kept the cabbies of London in business. I always wondered about "growlers" - turns out they were four-wheeled cabs so named because they were noisy as hell on cobblestones.

Um, yeah.

Afternoon_Delight: From a better article: Moments earlier, a rocket was fired - apparently by remote control - toward the police station, but it instead landed in a crowd of civilians, said Najib Nekzad, a press officer for the Ministry of Interior.


Fark's heroes strike another blow against the illegal foreign occupiers...

OMG u r a stoopid neocon! Bush is a Nazi! If the Iraqis want a democratic government they will tell the insurgency to cut it out and they will! We have no rights to push basic civil liberties on populations with totalitarian leadership! Undermining Bush is more important than freeing the world.... NEOCON!

This was more interesting when I misread the headline as "Mutants"

Did anyone else think "CHARIOTS! They've got Chariots!"
