US marines pressing an offensive in this Iraqi town west of Baghdad bombed a mosque in the center of the town Wednesday and killed up to 40 insurgents inside, a marine officer said.
The attack came from a jet aircraft at a high angle to minimize the impact, the officer said.
"We wanted to kill the people inside," said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne.

"Earlier on Wednesday, all the city mosques called for a "jihad" (holy war) against occupation forces..."
They called a HOLY WAR... IMHO, mosques are fair game.
Take that!!!!!!!

Killing 40 Islamikazi scum in their Mosque where they thought we wouldn't reach out and touch them. They were wrong. You burn and desecrate Americans and you will die!
This hit on Jihadists holed up in the Mosque is the language the Muslim "street" understands. Iraqis can howl and complain but they know how mosques are used as military bases.

God will take care of that one on his own timetable. My guess is that one day the world will wake up and it will be gone. Just gone.

Only problem with this is that the Axis of Weasel and thier allies will prbably try to drag this before the ICC (War Crime to destroy a place of worship). I've heard a good explanation on this before as a result of collateral damage done to hospitals, etc. -- the side that uses these types of civilian structures as a type of military installation (or puts installations nearby civilian areas) is the side guilty of the war crimes.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but shouldn't the word be "firewood". Stacking up like cordwood implies order, to facilitate measurement of the cord. Otherwise it's just a pile of firewood. Anyway, I've always heard the expression as "stacking up like cordwood," FWIW.

"'We wanted to kill the people inside,' said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne." Always a nice thing for soldiers to want to do.
Suppose he said, "We wanted to reduce property values in the neighborhood, to make housing more affordable."
That would have been surprising...

That's not the reason we should quit honoring their mosques. The reason we shouldn't honor them is that they don't. Well, that and the fact that their religion is pure BS.

Actually there was a german resistance for several years after the end of WW2. It was eventually crushed by the germans themselves.
I suggest a search of the term "NAZI werewolves"

You are suggesting we engage in terrorism on our own turf? Against men, women and children engaged in prayer? That's crazy. And until you've met every muslim, you can't claim to know that there's no such thing as a moderate one. I've met moderate muslims as well as wacked out Christians. Tell you what: the day that terrorists with guns are hiding in an American mosque is the day I'll say "bomb that mosque". Otherwise, back to the thread: way to go marines!

Thanks, I was just being prissy about CNN. Guilty in that I am feeling very revengeful and desirous of seeing dead people stacked like firewood. So I deflect to criticizing the CNN to avoid people saying "cajungirl, you sure are blood thirsty today"

Thanks, hiahc; if our holy places are okay for them to take over, abuse, and defile, then theirs are fair game for destruction, particularly since theirs are used for armories and terror cell meeting places, as well as hotbeds of anti-American preaching. If American preachers did what they did, CAIR would be screaming from every street corner. Hehe, maybe it's time they do!
Cajungirl, sometimes I wonder if democrats aren't the same as our Moslem enemies.
