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.

This islamonazi must be referring to Muslims when he talks of bigots, and acting it out with threats and violence.

And we are giving this mosque extra protection. Protecting the enemy. Gotta love it.

Thought I'd check the web. Amazing what you can find. The range for this is 30 nautical miles or about 55 km.

Here's a link, hope it works. There's a lot of information out there on it. Radar-guided with high-explosive warheads, doesn't say anthing about nuclear that I could find.

Funny how people were laughed at for thinking a missile could hit flight 800...seems pretty likely after reading about this type of weapon.

Not kidding...they pulled it. I haven't been able to find it since. And I DID see it on an AP news site [Newsday in the AP headlines]. I neglected the link because I only took the 1st sentence. Wonder what they are trying to hide.

At least on the news tonight on Greta's show the terrorism chief in New Jersey said they were concerned because AQ has expressed interest in trucks of all kinds which he thought would get them through security. He mentioned school buses and other trucks stolen. The TP gasoline tanker seems to be a high priority with them this time. I haven't heard any of this "it's not terrorism related"

By the way, I just went out for a walk with the dog and that crescent moon is back and Venus is bright as ever.
Goodnight All...prayers for everyone.

Could be it was pulled. We've seen that happen before.

Are you sure of the date? the only story I could find was the one that happend back at the end of March, they searched four Northwest airliners arriving in Detroit from some of the same origination points.

Keep an eye on the news from Iraq today. Check this thread:

Alabama trio flees Iraq amid assualt warning

Alabama trio flees Iraq amid assualt warning

04/21/04 TOM GORDON News staff writer

Three Alabama businessmen have decided to leave Baghdad for a while because they've received word that militias loyal to a controversial Muslim cleric will try to take over the Iraqi capital on Thursday.

"Things are getting hot in Baghdad!" Winton Blount IV wrote in a Sunday e-mail from Amman, Jordan. Blount and his partners, Andy Furr and Danny Campbell, flew to Amman on Saturday after having basically remained in their apartment for 12 consecutive days to stay out of harm's way.

Tensions have been running high in Baghdad because of a recent upsurge in fighting between U.S. and coalition forces and Iraqi insurgents in parts of Iraq, and the growing hostility between the coalition and militias loyal to Shiite leader Muqtada al-Sadr.

While the Alabamians waited for tensions to subside, Blount said, American, British and Iraqi sources told them that "Baghdad will ignite" on Thursday and that "all shops MUST close and militia will try to take over." Then they saw a senior American military commander, Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt, say in a televised press conference that U.S. forces would be waiting for al-Sadr's militia if they made a move on Baghdad

Comming to our local community center soon: Christians Threatened With Being Shot if they do not Convert to Islam

Being shot is only one of many painfully versatile methods by which Islamic extremists obtain converts. Pray we never are forced to choose death at their hands or submission to "conversion" because ultimately that is all they are after.
