HAND OF ALLAH COMES FOR ARKAN HASNAWI

Remember the uproar a few weeks ago about a missile strike in a residential neighborhood of Sadr City? Next to a hospital of all places, the left shrieked. Well it turns out some high level Mahdi leaders received their virgins in that building. Animals like Mahdi Army commander Arkan Hasnawi were rendered room temp. The Dirty Liberal Media had a mini fit about this a few weeks ago because the Army had the nerve to use the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) in a "residential" neighborhood. Well, once again turns out it was for good reason. Oh and by the way, the terrorists in Iraq have come to call the GMLRS the "Hand of Allah" as it seems to come from nowhere. Tee hee!

Oh, there is some serious ownage going on there. They seem a little down about it too:

The US military estimates more than 700 Mahdi Army fighters were killed. "It is pretty safe to say that we have killed the equivalent of a U.S. battalion," Colonel John Hort, the commander of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division told The New York Times.
A Mahdi Army commander put the number closer to 1,000 killed over the past six weeks. "A thousand martyrs, what did they die for?" the commander said.

Awww! Sniff, sniff! What did they die for? You tell us, pig-dog!
