The carrier says it has 17,000 of those same batteries still in its network. Some photos of the equipment that was shredded in the blast are also available."

    Someone is going to actually believe you and mod you up for saying that, and they're going to congratulate themselves for being "courageous" while doing so.

    Fucking idiots.

    If anything, that such people can have any success at all in this country should be a shining beacon of hope for all life - move to the US and you too can live in a fantasy world and not only survive but be lauded for fighting imaginary enemies. Next thing you know, a monkey in a Che Guevera t-shirt will go hobnob with some leftist dictator to accolades from other monkeys.

    Oh, wait. Isn't that Cindy Sheehan?
