1 They sank the TS Insh'Allah, ya say? Good-Oh!! Proving again that Archimedes' principles of bouyancy transcend all religions.

*TS = Taliban Ship

2 Well, if the US didn't sink the boat, there probably weren't any civilians (or puppies or fluffy bunnies).

Next time, have Ted Kennedy drive them across.

3 Hey, I just had a brilliant idea. Let's teach the Afghan poppy farmers to grow gum arabic! OK, so we'll have to heavily subsidize them for a while, but it'll be cheaper than hunting down the poppy smugglers.

*AND* it'll impoverish the Sudanese.

4 I'd guess overload. A boat that can safely transport 60 people with their stuff, and the crew, would be pretty big.

7 60 of the worthless bastards drowned (which is a pretty frightening, not-too-quick death)?

Awwwwwwwww - ain't that just too bad.

It's a start....

[Say, can we provide then some more sabotaged "naval troop transports"? On the QT, of course.... :-D]

11 Typical Muzzie incompetence.
No life jackets? No instructions?
Oh well "Allah will provide'. (Enough water for all.)

12 AirForce is damn good, Army is excellent, but don't never, never, ever, ever, ever fuck around with boats. The USN is like own you from day 1.
