All you have to do is to go about your business, and you will pass one or two semi trucks every day, each carrying some big payload wrapped in canvas. While the trucks are generic, the canvas isn’t.

From the looks of it, he’s not a very good fighter, and so one has to wonder how he managed to pull off so many successful attacks… Does he have good planning skills? Let’s call it a [...]

One was dragged through the streets, tied to the bumper of a car. The other burned corpse was beaten repeatedly with a metal rod by one Iraqi. Are these the people we [...]
