Black Muslim US soldier is a suspect! ("10 U.S. Soldiers Hurt In Grenade Attack")
CBS News website ^ | 3-22-03 | CBS

(CBS) Ten U.S. soldiers were injured, six or seven of them seriously, in a grenade and small arms attack at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.

Strassmann said the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.

"From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent," said George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st.

Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.

The injured soldiers were rushed to a field hospital but military officials had no word on their conditions, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Owens said from Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.

The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week. Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.

Separately, Strassmann reported, an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was destroyed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.

The terror and missile attack came as the U.S. assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity. But tough fighting loomed for coalition troops as they pressed deeper into Iraq.

You don't Victoria?

Really?

It was directed at me, and it was not only a blatant lie, but designed to start a flame war.

I don't like people who post lies...what about you?

The guy has been fighting me on this issue for a long time. He defends Islam and attacks Christianity. It got so crazy that he started screaming that my sweet, elderly mother is a whore. Anyway, he is teacher's pet around here, so he can get posts pulled without reason or justification.

I'm continually amazed at stuff I see posted on here. Even during a war, people just cannot bring themselves to put aside their pettiness.

"If this is true, there will be profound implications."

It's been true and this is still another manifestation that leaders want to deny. It's just too gut wrenching for normal Americans to want to believe. Just like the swelling ranks of those falling under leftist influence who are making a full court press this weekend to undermine our President and our policies around the world.

The spastic convulsions from Daschele to Luddite/Commonists in the streets are working up such a "fit" of emotionalism it even has the VFW in the Bay Area polarized, for and against the President. (per KTVU's newscast from Oakland, tonight)

I had no idea. I didn't know it was directed at you, I didn't see your name or anything related to you, and I didn't know you were posting here, either.

Believe or not, I didn't notice it. I'm not here looking for fights. The war is more important than that.

These morons with the hate agenda have nothing better to do than attack others who do not agree with them.

For the record, I mentioned that his mother worked at the border, he was the one who revealed her occupation there.

But for this father, anger mixed with pain. Michael Waters-Bey believes his son, a staff sergeant specialist in helicopter maintenance, died needlessly in a war that does not make sense.

Holding up a photograph of his son, Michael Waters-Bey, who described himself as a "naturalized Muslim," said he wished he could speak directly to the dead Marine's commander-in-chief.

Asked what he would tell President Bush (news - web sites), he said: "This was not your son or daughter. That chair he sat in at Thanksgiving will be empty forever."

I'm curipois as to whether this soldier is Muslim, or Nation of Islam.

I wonder of they will actually reveal that information at all.

Peace.

I know for a fact that the leading Islamic clerics in the US issued a Fatwah for all Muslims in the US Armed Forces to follow the orders of their commanding officers, and fight.

Names? Dates? Links?

Who or what determines "the leading Islamic clerics in the US?"

There you go again with that impeccible high class of yours, but drenched with the cowardice of plausible deniability this time.
