Fifty pickup truckloads of armed Bedouins, then 60-70 more gunmen vs. an unnamed group of peacekeepers, then 14 armed personnel carriers filled with Egyptians and only four wounded? Think about it: that sounds rather odd, don't you think? That is a LOT of guys shooting and whooping it up. Over 100 armed screaming and hollering Bedouins with automatic weapons and they only manage to wound FOUR defenders?
Perhaps Chuck Norris was leading the peacekeepers. I have personally seen rather short Chuck defeat an entire Vietnamese Army with only a rifle. Chuck is good. Perhaps he had a hand in writing the script for Newsmax.
I am assuming, perhaps incorrectly that anyone described as a "gunman" would actually have a gun, and most likely shoot it.
I am sorry anyone got hurt. I am sorry that Al Qaeda managed to put up their unstylish black flag. But this description seems to be rather a hoot if you think about it.
Or perhaps it is just a good testimony for body armor.
Al Qaeda apparently is unaware that black flags are associated mostly with insecticide and people who say Arrrrr! a lot in the West.
