BAGHDAD _U.S. authorities in Baghdad have received five severed fingers belonging to four Americans and an Austrian who were taken hostage more than a year ago in Iraq , U.S. officials said Wednesday.

The FBI is investigating the grisly development, and the families of the five kidnapped contractors have been notified, American officials said on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the case publicly.

"dropping live pigs."

The pigs should be euthanized first - otherwise we are no better than the Muslims.

More stuff like this and more Americans may just start agreeing.

Just the byproducts of pig butchering would do.

There will be more. Or if you wish, there will be blood. One thing about Muslims. They will not stop, even if they know it’s in their best interests to stop. They can’t. Eventually, they will inflame the world against them, and reap the whirlwind.

True. I've often thought that if we buried all the terrorists we killed with a pig (or parts of a pig) we could put a stop to a lot of this activity.

It’s a good idea.

When they’re killed, bury them immediately.

I wonder if it ever occurred to those hijackers who flew the planes into the Towers just how likely it was that there were pork products on those planes or in the cafeterias in the towers.

Someone had to have had sausage, bacon, or ham for breakfast.

McCain would rather have the prisoners loose their lives, one digit at a time, than to use a waterboard. I don’t know how I can vote for such ineptitude.

Ah the peacenik, the socialist pacifist that reside in the Dem Party. What fools they are and how they are useful dupes for the Islamofascists in their PR to convince the appeasers to cut and run.

Holy God,

You know where they are. Your eyes have never left them. Show them a way of escape, Lord, and bring down Your mighty hand of justice against those who have committed these acts of terror. Do not withhold Your anger from them, Lord. We ask You to grant strength to these captives and comfort for their families. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Amen.

Waterboarding is for wussies.

It is not anywhere near as tough as it SHOULD be.
If I were the relative of a parent, I’d demand one of the digits and ensure that the Dem and GOP candidate each got half. Then I’d ask them if they were prepared to play as rough as the terrorists.

Just pull the Obama lever, it's easy. I'm as conservative as the next guy, but we have to start thinking about survival now. McCain is all we have.

I watched some of his interview this evening at 9PM. He seems to be the toughest on terror, unless you speak about the dreaded water board.

President Bush has no courage?!!!!

Are you talking about the Man who went against the majority to invade Iraq once the ceasefire terms had been violated (and our planes were being shot at)?

Are you talking about the same Man who, when told over and over and over that we needed to reduce troop strength in Iraq instead successfully introduced the “surge”?

The same Man who sends out Christmas card greetings with actual scripture inside instead of the usual platitudes?

I may not always agree with the Man who is currently President of the United States of American, but I can’t stand idly by when his courage is questioned somewhat behind his back. I truly doubt that former President Saddam Hussein (from where he squirms in torment?) has quite the same disdain for him that you have.

From what I see, President George W. Bush is an honorable man.

Please, United we stand. Why squabble amongst ourselves when there is a WAR going on?

I *do* agree with your point about his Christmas cards, and his standing by his guns on the surge.

That being said...

"Religion of Peace" my ass.

Please read my post #65 where I give more details. President Bush is not going far enough, fast enough against Iran; and sending Condi Rice over to tell Israel to "just lie back and think of Palestine" is not helping either.

Full Disclosure: "Jobs that Americans won't do" my ass as well.

Cheers!
