"At Least They Didn't Eat The Dude"
That's what one of my friends said about the Syrian jihadists who beheaded the wrong guy.
From the NY Post, Natalie O'Neill writes:
A group of Al Qaeda-linked Syrian rebels beheaded a fighter then triumphantly waved his head in the air as a trophy -- only to discover the poor guy was actually one of their own, London's The Telegraph reports.Members of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham are shown in a graphic video clutching the head of a bearded victim while claiming he was a hated member of an Iraqi Shia group fighting for President Bashar al-Assad, the paper reports.
But the killers soon learned that the victim, Mohammed Fares, was actually an allied fighter for Ahrar al-Sham, a Sunni Islamist group that fights alongside their own group of Al Qaeda-linked thugs.
Thugs in the Youtube video are shown in the city of Aleppo holding the decapitated head in front of a crowd of people, some of whom are taking photos and video.
The rebel group apologized for the gruesome case of mistaken identity on Thursday , asking for "understanding and forgiveness."
We understand and we thank you -- for diminishing your ranks by one, barbarian losers.
I was laughing my head off while reading this . . .

I say let them kill each other. Let's give Iran nukes. They'll probably blow themselves up.

Go to Liveleaks.com and you can see this stuff all day. Syria has descended into complete insanity, much like Coppola created in Apocalypse Now.
The thing that I can't begin to comprehend is their level of joy and celebration as they execute prisoners, shouting "Alahu Akbar" as they riddle now dead bodies with machine guns. How could anyone worship a God that would encourage the killing of your own countymen, simply because they disagree on who should have taken over 1400 years ago?
But then again the Catholics and Protestants were behaving similarly just a few decades ago in Ireland.
It's also interesting how they are roving bands, no central leadership, but have access to highly sophisticated anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles. There's gotta be some blowback in that equation.

Why do you think Ambassador Stevens was meeting with Turkish Consul General Ali Sait Akin on September 11, 2012 in a city known be occupied by the Muslim Brotherhood fanatics?

"in a city known be occupied by the Muslim Brotherhood fanatics?"
Boston?

Those would be Red Sox fanatics. Can't you tell the difference between a baseball bat and a club? :-p

I was eating bacon with my breakfast while reading this and then had a good laugh when I realized the irony.
Forgive me if I can't find it in my heart to feel sorry for them or the person they killed.
In fact, I think I'll have some more bacon in celebration.
