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.

Dolls were not mine, but I did think about those dolls today that they were in a shipment 'covering' the true weapon

That was an incredible find Oorang. That County Commissioner has it so very right. The rest of the USA could learn how to deal with the illegal immigrant vexation from this guy. He obviously is using his brain (a politician worth his salt and worthy of acclaim)!

RE: Email threat against El PAso TX mosque
"Islamophobic rhetoric is unfortunately on the rise in our society, prompting a minority to act out their bigoted views through threats and violence," said CAIR executive director Nihad Awad. He called on political and religious leaders in Texas to speak out strongly against anti-Muslim hate. ISLAMO P H O B I C??? Give me a break.
