Wild boars overrun ISIS position, killing 3 wounding 5

Post by M-Quigley »

This is no joke or fake news, it's on a mainstream news source, and it's politically incorrect to ever question their accuracy on anything. :roll:

Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a chief of the local Ubaid tribe and supervisor of anti-ISIS forces, told The Times of London the militants were hiding on the edge of a field about 50 miles southwest of Kirkuk when the boars overwhelmed them Sunday. Five other militants were injured, al-Assi said. He said the group was poised to attack a band of local tribesmen who had fled to nearby mountains since militants seized the town of Hawija three years ago.

“It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields,” he said.

I'd pay to see that. But I'd want a copy too, so I could watch it over and over.

Someone her upon reading this story said, "Muslim extremists getting killed by pigs. How ironic." He laughed, but I didn't get it at first. :roll:

Let's hope we hear much more of it.

Maybe Gen. Mattis had something to do with it.

Isn't that how Saddam Hussein dies in the "South Park" movie?

Not having seen the movie, this is all I could find online.

http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/Saddam_Hussein" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, he is the secondary later true main antagonist. Hussein continues his romantic relationship with Satan as he plans to conquer the world by taking advantage of Satan's power as ruler. Also, in the film, it was stated at the start that he got killed by a pack of wild boars six weeks earlier. That was an error because boars never killed him in the show, as he died in "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus" due to a "mass fart".
While it would be nice if it were true, the whole idea of wild boars overrunning a position where ISIS terrorists are armed with a variety of weapons seems ridiculous.

Here is another source of information

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news ... h-10297374" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Sheikh Anwar al-Assi, a local tribal chief, told The Times that the militants had hidden among some dense reeds.

“It is likely their movement disturbed a herd of wild pigs, which inhabit the area as well as the nearby cornfields,” he said.
“The area is dense with reeds, which are good for hiding in.”

The pigs were later punished.

A source told Alsumaria News that: " Daesh (Islamic State) militants took revenge at the pigs who attacked the farmland,” but did not say how.

Maybe instead of trying to kill them off with warfarin based poison, the Texas Agriculture Commissioner can just start catching the wild hogs and airdropping them over in the sandbox.
