I wonder if Cindy Sheehan and her friends want to keep calling these vicious animals freedom fighters and to continue to see the US as the bad guy.
Why are the insurgents trying to increase the body count with tactics like this?? Thank people like Cindy Sheehan who tell the insurgents through their divisive and partisan actions that if they stack up enough US bodies, we'll all be demoralized and demand our government retreat from Iraq and leave it to the terrorists. Thanks Cindy!!
The practice of bombing school children and then bombing the crowd and rescuers that respond to the first blast is a tactic Cindy Sheehan approves, as well.
They could be common rat poisons and insecticides. Ive read that palestinian suicide bombers often pack the projectiles used in bomb vests with chemicals.
It can make a relatively minor wound into a serious wound if enough chemical enters the body with the projectile.
A fanatic who straps a bomb to his chest and walks into a market crowded with women and children, then detonates a bomb that is sometimes laced with rat poison to hamper blood coagulation, is properly called a "mass murderer." There is nothing good to say about mass murderers, nor is there anything good to say about a person who encourages these murders.
These people are the "freedom fighters" that Michael Moore loves to talk about.
The MSM seems to have forgotten that chemical weapons ARE weapons of mass destruction.
It seems Saddam's WMDs couldn't stay hidden forever.
Aren't these the same barbarians who dumped bodies of people who had died of the plague over the walls (during the Crusades, was it?)on their (Western Civ) enemies? A fine bunch of heathens. Where are Amnesty International and the UN when you need them?
If crates filled with rat poison start to show up in Mosul, with postal stamps indicating they originated in Crawford Tx. USA, then we shall understand what the women who's son had to join the army to get away from her, is doing after the news cameras are turned off for the day.
Why don't they use the captured killers as point men in front of the military vehicles?
I'd say that they were "cooperating" with the troops and leave it at that.
Please note that this isn't about who’s morally the more superior being or who has the more objectively “advanced” society, it’s about what the people on both sides *believe* to be the case.
And since were the roles reversed I would expect that Americans would adopt many of the same tactics as the Iraqis, it seems to me that when considering our chances of victory in Iraq by the attrition of the insurgents/terrorists there we would do well to ask how effective the same tactics would be against us if *we* were the resistance - one thing I’m pretty sure of is that it would take a much larger force of Islamic occupation troops relative to our population than we currently have in Iraq relative to theirs and many, many years, to wear down such a resistance here – assuming, that is, that such an effort could succeed at all.
bttt
There is a fine line between what is described in this article, and WMDs.
Why of course. They're only fighting to get the big bad USA out of their beautiful free country, don't cha know? (sarc)
And the ironic thing is that if she went over to a muslim country (say Saudi Arabia, Iran, Yemen, etc...) with her state of mind, she would probably be executed. (And yes, for those of you in Palm Beach, even her denouncing of the U.S. and her CIC)
