I thought you guys were invincible?

Turns out that when not faced by an unarmed population but actually up against a real army the much vaunted forces of Islam aren't actually up to much, fighting-wise. Bouche : dix points, pantalons: nul points

So how come that, given that the British and American military is, with due respect to the Ethiopians, probably a bit better equipped and trained than the military of a cash strapped African nation, not able to give the insurgents in Iraq a damned good twatting?

Maybe perhaps because our governments won't let them becuase it might not look nice on TV?
