2 Yesterday, Iraki insurgents tried to ambush a Spanish patrol. Five bad guys were killed, seven captured for no losses on Spanish side.

Like said in a the "Poema del Mio Cid":

"Oh, how fine a vassal, if he had a good lord".

Unfortunately Spanish soldiers have a scoundrel as their lord.

4 Makes sense. They're going to need the troops at home.

6 Forgot to tell that the day before that very same patrol had been ambushed resulting in two scumbags dead for no Spanish losses.

7 Who you gonna call, Zappy, when the terrorists strike you again? You know they will, they've determined you are an easy mark to make headlines - and they care far more about than than whether or not you are a nice guy or not.

They want Spain in their global conquest - they only care if you intend to make it easy or hard for them. They won't spare you for being nice anymore than a hunter spares a bear who could have killed him but decided not to.

Won't be able to blame Uncle Sam, next time, it will be ALL YOU!!

8 Spanish left, but the Poles took up the slack. No more Polish jokes.

9 I haven't heard a Polish joke since the late 70's. I think they have fallen out of fashion, particularly due to recent events ... =)

10 What's black and blue and floats down the river on its back?

The next person to tell a Polish joke.

12 especially since the Poles essentially started the downfall of the Soviet Union, and took many casualties for the Solidarity cause. Bravery and Poles are no strangers
