Takin' Out the Trash

The US Air Force (yes, the Air Force) personally escorted Abu Musab al Zarqawi to paradise last night. He is now enjoying the fruits of his labors and finding out first hand that the US isn't the great Satan after all. Sucks to be him.

I don't know the details of the afterlife but I do know the Truth. And the truth is that Zarqawi was a murderous psychopath who is now appropriately relegated to the dung heap of history. Good riddance.

Thanks to Black Five for the pic. I like it the best.

New Special Forces Technology

The London Daily Mail (hat tip drudge) has reported that British Special forces are testing new rigid strap-on wings to enable their troops to more stealthily drop into target areas. I've managed to get a picture of these wings in action. Expect them to become a standard part of airborne training in the next few years.
