Marines bomb Fallujah mosque
Herald Sun (AU) ^ | 07 Apr 04 | Staff

Posted on 04/07/2004 6:16:41 AM PDT by veronica

US marines pressing an offensive in this Iraqi town west of Baghdad bombed a mosque in the center of the town Wednesday and killed up to 40 insurgents inside, a marine officer said.

The attack came from a jet aircraft at a high angle to minimize the impact, the officer said.

"We wanted to kill the people inside," said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne.

Absolutely the right thing to do.

But we must be prepared for the Islamists to hit a Western church or temple. Perhaps a large and famous one. (Of course the Islamists have been planning to do this anyway, but now they will claim an eye-for-an-eye -- absurd as that is since we hide no terrorists or ammunition in our houses of worship).

Expect our media to play along with this idiotic notion and portray the Islamist bombing of a Western synogogue or church as a hit "in kind."

Now they can reconstruct a "church or synagogue" on that vacant lot.

Better idea...let's make Fallujah the capital of the new Palestinian State

"stacked like cordwood" gets many more hits on google. Much more commonly used is my conclusion

The President must be reading FR. It's about time we took out those scumbags. When islamonazis shoot from mosque, islamonazis take away its religious meaning and turn it into a combat zone. IMO, this action...finally...will save many American lives. Nowhere to hide now chumps!

I should add to my post 161 that the Islamists have already bombed to smithereens many beautiful and ancient treasures of Christianity in Kosovo.

we need 40 x 72 virgins, stat.

About those virgins... 72 is no problem. However....

Someone with a photo shop program should insert the 19 hijackers' likenesses into a picture like this and send it to the terrorists.

Speaking of CNN, did anyone watch Larry King try to fry Karen Hughes last night?

"In fact, after we bomb the rubble, dig 'em up and shoot them again. Kill 'em real good.

And then bury them with pig guts.

That's what war is all about.

I am having a terrible dilemma here,,who do I despise the most, the terrorists or the democrats? I just can't decide, it is so close.

I feel your pain, because both goups hate America. It is a close race between the two.

Oh God ... I saw part of that too. I never in my life. When Karen started talking about all the jobs created last month and then King interrupts and spews out ... well they were low paying jobs. It was disgusting. But Hughes is an excellent speaker and did well getting her message out.

Thanks, I was just being prissy about CNN.

LOL. No sweat. I can't handle watching those prune-faced pukes, and am greatful for the reports from those who have more fortitude than I do.

Not one single imam Muslim has come out and condemned these fools for their terroristic actions.
