Hearts and minds:

They recovered a ... and an anti-aircraft missile

Sure they were just keeping that missile around in case some anti-wahabbist was going to burgle the mosque:

Abdul Sattar, the mosque's imam, said the weapons were used by its guards. "They were there to protect ourselves,"

And, of course, the US soldiers naturally would swipe the collection and toss the Korans. Hell, even the al Jazeera audience probably figures that's BS. But the Guardian swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

These guys put themselves in the kitchen where it's hot and they're complaining about the heat.
