Republican Guard asses. --But according to all extant reports, these aren't the dreaded RGs, much less the SRGs, but rather "irregulars," some of whom are described as clad in (I'm not making this up) "black pyjamas."

Hell, we can beat a bunch of wogs in black pyjamas, hey?

Also on today's news--the US general (?) giving the briefing, saying that the foe in today's engagements was given to striking and then "slipping away."

Ah, the wily VC elude our just reprisals again.

But I suspect that, notwithstanding all the shite we've been fed to the contrary, that our Forces of Peace and Enlightenment will find plenty of pissed-off locals to shoot at them. God knows Our Brave Boys haven't seen much in the way of flowers and parades today, eh?

cordially,
