Insult to WWII heroes: Graves of British troops smashed and desecrated by Libyan Islamists...
The U.K. Daily Mail ^ | 02/25/2012 | Staff

A furious mob has desecrated dozens of Commonwealth War Graves in a Libyan cemetery amid continuing fury in the Middle East over the burning of the Koran by U.S. soldiers. Headstones commemorating British and Allied servicemen, killed during World War II campaigns in the Western Desert, lay smashed and strewn across Benghazi Military Cemetery. Protesters rampaged through site on Friday, despite efforts by America to calm tensions sparked when it emerged U.S. soldiers had burned Muslim holy books in a pile of rubbish at a military base in Afghanistan.

I've scanned the major alphabet LSM and not one has this story.

And still - they wonder why they've lost credibility with the public... Stunning. Does anyone outside the most extreme leftist - have faith in the MSM? Anyone?

The NYT has a story today about the Boko Haram in Nigeria. It praises them for taking up the cause of the poor against the government. You know, killing the one percent and their police. Not once does it mention that the primary target and most of the 900+ killed have been Christians attending church. They struck again this morning bombing a church and killing two. Just when you think press bias and outright lies cannot get any more open, the MSM surprises you.

I'm old enough to remember respecting the New York Times... and the press in general. For me, their bias is not only disgusting - it's sad. Thanks for sharing ... I would not have known the truth without your comments.

You sound like my brother. He thinks this summer is going to get nasty.

Our men and women are being attacked and the order should be: FIRE AT WILL!

That would resolve it pronto. Instead we are forced to watch the marxist muslim grovel and apologize. It is vomit inducing.

Due to PC the Brits seem to be as ham-strung as us. There is only one way to make this stop. Everyone who is a right thinking individual knows this to be the fact.

Why are we repeatedly called on to apologize and grovel about our insults to Islam, such as this Koran burning, but, Islam is never called upon to apologize for their insults and behavior towards the western world?

Maybe you should put on their thinking cap.

Libya is a completely scumbag outfit blessed for some unknowable reason with some of the finest crude in the world in inexhaustible supply.

The greatest failure of Italian Colonial policy was their inability to find that oil, which would have literally changed world history. As it is now, the only livable places in this ugly place are those areas which the Italians, who were nowhere near tough enough on these freaks, did develop.

We actually had AF Bases there when it was ruled by King Idris, who was overthrown by the Khaddafi nut case. If ever a place needed to be a colony, this piece of camel crap is it. Now, lemme tell you about people who live there ... well, they NEED to live there and please God, stay there. Maybe they could become a Albanian Colony.

"I think that if someone could invent a cheap, convenient sized spray can of aerosolized pig fat"

I'm thinking instead of a fuel-air bomb,maybe a pigfat-air bomb might get the message across.We could code-name it "desecrate and destroy"

Hell of a shame. Dick, I want a 24-hour guard put around this area. The damn Arabs will dig them up just to get their clothes. Yes, sir. Our graves aren't going to disappear like everybody else's who fought here. The Greeks, the Romans... the Carthaginians. (Patton,1970)

The over all opinion of the Libyans (Arabs) during WW II was thieves and cutthroats who could not be trusted, and that opinion was expressed on both the allied and axis sides.
