At this moment, live on CNN, the camera is locked down on US Forward Operating Base Falcon. Something or someone has caused a fire to break out. FOB’s contain all kinds of bad things, including, but not limited to: Ammunition of various sizes. Mortar rounds. Missiles. Explosives. MRE’s and clean sox.
The various bad things are cooking off as we speak, huge black and white explosions lighting up the Baghdad skies like (sweeping away a tear of fond memories) the original Shock and Awe. Reports as to why things are blowing up are still spotty. Reports as to what kind of badness is there are also strangely missing.
One thing is known. Just before the fire started, someone heard a voice say "ﻥﻋ ‘ﻥﺍ ‘ﻩﮔ ‘ﻥﺩﻴﺭ."
I am reliably informed that is the equivalent of, in colloquial English, the expression "Shit!"
