US Promises to Punish Those Responsible for Gruesome Iraq Attacks

The top U.S. official in Iraq says Wednesday's gruesome attacks on four American civilians whose burned bodies were put on display in the town of Fallujah will not go unpunished.

"It's going to be deliberate, it will be precise and it will be overwhelming," U.S. General Mark Kimmitt said, speaking to reporters in Baghdad. He warned insurgents in the town of Fallujah to be prepared for U.S. forces to strike back following Wednesday's killing of four American contractors by a frenzied mob that dragged their charred bodies through the streets.

Televised footage of the act has provoked outrage from Americans in the United States and led U.S. administrator in Baghdad Paul Bremer to issue a warning.

"Their deaths will not go unpunished," he promised.

The White House blamed the attacks on supporters of Saddam Hussein. The remains of the four were to be turned over to the U.S. military.

A day after the attack, three American soldiers were injured in another attack near Fallujah, this time when their Humvee struck a roadside bomb.

I hope to God we do not exchange any one of the Mujahideen Khalq we hold. al-Zarqawi is no one to be exchanged for. He is a terrorist wanted in the US and Jordan for overt terrorist acts of pre-meditated murder. If the Iranians want to hold him hostage for the release of other terrorists ... well, for us to play such an idiotic game is ludicrous.

Then again we will have to wait and see how our State Department weighs in on this. Remember, according to the reports of late January they made the deal with Iran a day or so after the reported capture of OBL inside their territory.

We have reports that the assassination of their official envoy to the al-Sadr negotiations was done with our "assistance" in An-Najaf. The message of that assassination was direct and implied for future reference at the same time.

This offer, if legit, is more games from them imho.

Although it's not a media event, Madonna will be at Madison Square Garden on June 23, 2004. She symbolizes what the enemy abhors in American culture.

WABC's radio's Bachelor & John Loftis (sp) reporting Syria gave Iraq's chemical WMD to AlQaeda. Captured trucks in Jordan with chemicals with Vx attack would have killed 20,000.

'End of America' will be soon, al-Qaida convert warns

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - The conversation over tea in the lobby of a downtown hotel was clipped and direct and chilling. The heavyset Saudi with the thick black beard wore the short robe of a religious puritan, but spoke of war - war between al-Qaida and the United States.

"It will end by the end of America, and it's going to be soon," said the man calling himself Abu Muhammad Saleh, a nom de guerre for a spokesman for the Saudi wing of al-Qaida.

WASHINGTON - In a veiled swipe at the Clinton administration, Attorney General John Ashcroft testified Tuesday that the nation was stunned by the Sept. 11 attacks because "for nearly a decade our government had blinded itself to our enemies."
