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.

"Remember that alleged "snippet" of information being reported by a military jet, overheard by a ham radio operator?"

Boy that was a while back. I found it very intriging. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Good question Ma. Not trying to be a bummer, but I don't see this war ending anytime soon. Not in our lifetimes. This is a struggle that our children will be inheriting from us, so I hope we do the very best we can.

Our enemies will keep trying and eventually, they'll get it right again and more innocent people will die. Our government will not do what it takes to end this war soon because to end it, we'll need to wipe out an entire generation (including women and children). A generation that was/is raised to hate the west. A generation that believes that anything not islam must be destroyed. I'm referring to the PLO and Arafat here, but anywhere that teaches kids to hate anything not islam will perpetuate violence and terrorism in the future.

The killing of women and children is nothing less than barbaric and the mere thought of it is very repugnant to me, but to our enemies, it’s okay. We here reports of how these vermin hide behind women and children. It’s disgusting and it shows how truly evil these muslims really are.

As Americans, we hold ourselves to a higher standard of civilization. We don’t go around killing simply because others have different beliefs. We sure don’t go around killing women and children. Our muslim enemies have no qualms with killing women, children, or the elderly. That is making this war so much harder to fight and that’s why this war will not be over anytime soon.

Re- your feeling that we have "subtley shifted into Orange Alert mode over these last few days". I agree. I would suspect that around April 9-10, when city police departments were informed of imminent but nonspecific threats, the cities went to orange.

Hmmmm. About 10 days ago was when the city police departments were informed of imminent/nonspecific threats ( according to the ABC news article.)

HOW TO STOP ISLAMIC TERRORISM!

If it works and it has been proven to work, it should be implemented.

Four suspected terrorists were arrested yesterday in Stockholm and Malmoe. More arrests are expected.

The more the merrier. Suggest Stockholm and Malmoe receive a big pat on the back for the superb job they are doing. It only takes a few of them to create horror and grief for the other world citizens. Pre-emptive control of the situation is much better than post-operative attempts at capture.

For those who have not seen this series, it is a MUST READ!

MOTHER RUSSIA - THE ULTIMATE DOMINATRIX

Sometimes we forget Communism's ultimate goal is world domination. They may have made (failed) forays into democracy and free enterprise, but Russia has been Communist for scores of years. This leopard has not changed its red spots nor has it deviated from its original purpose. Philip Hoag, author of No Such Thing As Doomsday reminds us of a November 1987 speech Gorbachev made to the Politburo:

"Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and pere- stroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal change in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep."3

And we are entitled to defend ourselves and obligated to defend our allies.

(Determine when most people attend the mosques in all US cities. Surround them and seal them off. Remove the participants to temporary; secure shelter. Purge the mosques of weapons.) Right. Fantasyland.

Fra Angelico but it's mighty fine used in place of vanilla extract as well (double or triple the amount of course.)

FYI my chocolate chip cookies are always a favorite and that little (well almost little) nudge of Frangelica helps them taste a tad better.

Mubarak: Arabs Hate U.S. More Than Ever

Apr 20,

PARIS (Reuters) - Arabs in the Middle East hate the United States more than ever following the invasion of Iraq and Israel's assassination of two Hamas leaders, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said in comments published Tuesday.
Mubarak, who visited the United States last week, told French newspaper Le Monde that Washington's actions had caused despair, frustration and a sense of injustice in the Arab world.

"Today there is hatred of the Americans like never before in the region," he said in an interview given during a stay in France, where he met President Jacques Chirac Monday.

"we should be entitled to know when our lives are endangered"

(Maybe we all need to email Drudge and tell him that we are not sheeples- we are aware of what is going on- and urge him to start informing people of the dangers we face.)
