The officer said a Cobra helicopter gunship fired a Hell Fire missile at the mosque and then an aircraft dropped a laser-guided precision bomb.


Throw a rock at that,.....raghead!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is looking into a report that U.S. missiles hit a mosque in the restive Iraqi city of Falluja, killing about 40 people, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.

"We've seen those reports and are looking into it," a senior Bush administration official said of The Associated Press report, which quoted witnesses in the city.

At the Pentagon, defense officials said they had received no report on such an attack. But one of the officials, who asked not to be identified, said insurgents in Falluja had used mosques in the area to fire on U.S.-led troops and that the troops had at times returned the fire.

Any bets on how long before Kennedy, Kerry, and France condemn this action.

"Mosque hit by bomb, as many as 40 WORSHIPPERS killed."

I bet. (/sarcasm)

"Taking bets now on how long it will take for the first pious @$$ to show up and tell us how abominably wrong we were to do this..."


How about bets on what kind of a$$?

Probably an American liberal, 1st.

"We wanted to kill the people inside," said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne.

Good, these scumbags need to learn there is no place that they can go that we won't hunt them down and kill them.

I worked with a guy (my ex-boss, really), a muslim who doesn't pray 5 times a day but still didn't eat pork, who moved out of Pakistan because of all the "nuts". He goes to movies, pays his bills, shops, has picnics, goes sailing on the weekends. He's a moderate muslim. I suppose he could be secretly hiding his feelings, waiting for the right moment, but he's been here 20 years and that moment hasn't happened yet since he isn't dead or in jail. I recently was associated with a muslim lady, married, who drank wine and ate pork, and who didn't pray 5 times a day (not sure if its just for the men or not). She said that "Most Iranians are moderate, you see all the crazy people on TV". She thought it was kind of a big deal that she drank wine in front of her mother in law. She chattered a lot and was always buying flashy jewelry - I dunno man, I just can't imagine her with a grenade tucked away in her Coach handbag.

I was shocked. An email to Larry is in order. He has become a pimp for liberals and last night he simply lacked any sense of being polite. Liberals go on his show and get the velvet glove treatment. I'm signing off on this putz.

Yeah, that is very true and that is a good idea.

And another thing. You what really irks me ... being a Canadian and everything. Every time I watch the King show, he seems to have a disportionate number of calls from Canada. Like give me a friggin break. This is an American show and the last thing I need to hear is what I heard last night from some looser who lived in Toronto about not USA finding WMD. Of course Karen kicked his butt ... but my point is that there should be NO calls from Canada or anywhere else in the world when an American political heavyweight is on. People in the USA deserve the right to have the time to talk to their politians and no one else.

"CNN now reporting that the Marines in Fallujah are stacking Iraqis up "like cordwood"."

GOOD! As I heard someone say earlier today, it's "Chicago Rules" now. As Malone said to Elliot Ness:

Even better: Stronger and meaner than a tough Irish Chicago cop:

Interesting, as already mentioned, they have no qualms about overunning Christian churches and killing people during worship services. I suspect a major attack against one or many churches in Italy....then at some time in the future...stateside...

Yes, exactly, Islamists terrorists have murdered innocent Christian worshippers in Pakistan and the Philippines; have bombed ancient Christian churches in Kosovo to smithereens, ditto an ancient synogogue in Tunisia while it was crowded with Western tourists.

No qualms at all. But we already knew that. We must be ready.

I should call the local rock station and request a double play of "Hey Man, Nice Shot" and "Click Click Boom" in honor of this.

40 down, 39,960 to go. Get to it, Devil Dogs. We're behind you.

Im guessing it will be Annon, France, Kennedy, and Kerry in that order.
