Good News From Jihadist Website: We're Dyin' Over Here

A rare admission that jihadists are dying by the dozen:

posting on an Islamic Web site Friday made a rare admission of significant casualties among insurgents fighting U.S. forces in Iraq (news - web sites), saying 24 guerrillas, most of them non-Iraqi Arabs, were killed in battles in Fallujah the day before.

The posting on a site known as a clearinghouse for militant Muslim statements said three hours of fighting in Fallujah on Thursday resulted in the "martyrdom" of 24 fighters from different Islamic factions, 19 of them from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Egypt, Syria and Jordan. The rest were said to be Iraqis.

Such postings often refer to large U.S. casualties. References to dead among the insurgents aren't unusual, but usually the numbers given are small.

Just curious: if these bastards are "insurgents," can we call the human-hunting madmen in New Orleans "insurgents" as well? Obviously they're unhappy about something, right?

They just need a website or something. And then the MSM will stop using judgmental terms about them like "depraved."

Thanks to Super Christmas News Elf GregS, who sadly informs me he's giving up informing for me for a while in order to pursue what he terms "my real life."

I'm thinking about closing up shop without GregS.

Hope you enjoy your "life," Greg, you traitor.
