Smartass liberal-biased comment about Fox News in 1,2,3...

Well, we can at least be thankful that the war ended a couple of months ago or else there'd be a lot more explosions and killing and stuff.

A U.S. military policeman at the scene told Reuters that it appeared a roadside bomb had been detonated but nobody was injured.


well..i hope you mean no one other than the jag off the set it off.

Avast there, ye swabs! Come about an blast their hides!
Yar!

I read an hour ago that it wasn't a bomb but an ammo accident. It looks like nobody was hurt though.

What a farking stupid tagline. Our troops getting attacked in Iraq, that's really farking hilarious. I bet if a few children had died you could've really come up with a zinger.

Dumbass conservative-biased comment about liberals in 3..2..oh wait.

Stories like this are rapidly becoming less "news" and more "business as usual." Wake me on a day when something doesn't explode in Iraq.

Its all Bush's administration fault, we have no good reasons to be in that country, quagmire comments in 5, 4, 3,...

And in other news: U.S. soldiers open fire on Italian diplomat, kill interperator...

(ahem)

It's all the Bush's administration's fault.

We have no good reasons to be in that country.

It's a quagmire.

Happy?

Arrr! Ye idiots from the port bow be smoking by the gun powder again

Dunanunanunanunanunanunanunanuna- QUAGMIRE!

shiver or sliver?

Yarr, me jibblies be not likin' slivers from me timbers when i'm ridin down a mizzen-mast amidst a good boardin' - but me ship be not likin' anything that causes them timbers to shiver neither.

A piece of eight to the mate who ends the debate.

how come there was nothing on fark about the 8 soldiers getting killed yesterday in iraq? or how they shot up an italian diplomats car today, killing the guy's aide?

I've left a few steaming craters after consuming Taco Bell burritos now and again.

Dammit, people, you're supposed to CALL THE GAS COMPANY before you start digging! Jeez.

Arrr, ye landlovers do not know a real quagmire. Hundreds more people die from scurvey each day than in Iraq. I fear ye liberals have barnacles for brains.

But alas cgs, there were no fatalities.. Thus the opportunity for a funny headline.

Question: Are more people dying per day than when Saddam was in power? Just wondering...

Last thing heard before explosion:
"Can you seriously light farts?"

Lets hope that no one was injurred and the terrorist was still in the car that exploded.

All I can say is my husband will be home soon out of that mess.

Thank God.

/sigh

What is it with FOX and Fark? Every news article comes from FOX!! Okay, not every. But the majority. How about a little "Fair and Balanced" linking, Fark?

And beyond that, this is very far from a news flash. What is going on with the admins/moderators/whoever? If you're going to put up news, make it news. Not this drivel. We already know how bad the situation is in Iraq. You could have of had a news flash yesterday when three more american soldiers were killed in a gun battle. Thank you.

That is a truly excellent question. Unfortunately, it's probably impossible to know the answer - despotic regimes don't tend to be very forthcoming about how many of their citizens have been disappeared.

Arr, it do be a bad day in the news for swabby Bush.

Bush related news

my apologies to phoxxy for bringing up yesterday's news.

My comment stands on its own as a general historical observation, and as such, I leave it as an exercise to the reader to draw applicability towards current-day events.

Were the Dixie Chicks harmed? I think thats what important here.

newmoonpuppyhead: 'tis okay... i know it's daily occurance over there. i just try not to think about it much.

Or just the all-purpose "Watch THIS!"

/followed by the lighting of farts. :D :D

celston Question: Are more people dying per day than when Saddam was in power? Just wondering...

I was going to respond to this in pirate talk, but it struck me as too serious to joke about.

U.N. sanctions caused by Saddam killed roughly 1 million children. That figure is up to debate, but 1 million is a somewhat conservative estimate. Some quick math shows that meant roughly 210 childrens deaths per day. (1 million / 13 years of sanctions / 365 days per year ~= 210)

Of course, 210 childrens deaths per day does not even equal how many combat deaths the coalition has had since the war began. From the Iraqi side, thousands died in the war, and the effect of old sanctions still lingers. Because of this, the total deaths from before the war and immediately after the war are probable the same. Fortunately, the situation in Iraq is improving, but it will be some months or years before the effects of sanctions are gone, and you wont have such massive daily death tolls.

Like I would believe anything from Faux News anyways. Jeebus Cripes, it sucks that Dubya got us into this quagmire.
