Muslim terror tactics.

"If America doesn't lift its blockade of Falluja, their heads will be cut off."

Surely, there has been some misunderstanding here.

Onward Muslim Soldiers - ping.

"We swear to God, we are not afraid of death. We are going to heaven."

Won't he be surprised! Here's to hoping he gets wrapped in a pig skin before his journey to hell.

Reporters who are willing to go and get video footage of the hostages and not work with our forces to free the hostages and/or lead them to the hostages are scumbags.

We need to institute a new policy. Reporters who go and give free footage of what the terrorists do but don't bring a group of marines with them will be, up on returning to their hotel, SHOT!!!!.

10 minutes after they murder 30 hostages nuke Mecca and the Iran's nuke program. That's how you stop these rotten bastards. They go for broke, you up the ante.

[Rome2000]

These subhuman bastards have been doing the same thing for 1500 years.

These days,cutting peoples heads off is extremely bad PR.

Islamists and their Jihadist army is heade for the same trash heap of history as the Nazis and the Huns.

Amin Al Husseini seen inspecting his Hanzar Division made up exclusively of Muslims, mostly from the Crotia/Bosnia/Serbia region. They actively lead the genocide against Serbs, Serbian Jews and Gypsies.

Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe's Jews to the gas chamber. The Third Reich provided Amin Al Husseini with a salary and appointed him Head of the Hanzar SS Division. The Hanzar Division was made of Nazi Muslims and implemented the genocide of 250,000 Serbs, Gypsies and Jews during WWII.

Amin Al Husseini shown here on a Nazi poster recruiting fellow Muslims to join Hitler in the fight against the West and the Jews. His disciples today include Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein and the leaders of Hamas, Al Qeida and Islamic Jihad.

Amin Al Husseini, future President of the World Islamic Congress (1961) and founding father of the Arab League (1944) inspects his Muslim Nazi troops, the Hanzar Division. Amin Al Husseini making the traditional nazi salute.

Yasser Arafat became a disciple of Amin Al Husseini since the age of 17. Here: recent picture of Palestinian soldiers under the leadership of Arafat making the traditional Nazi salute.

"If America doesn't lift its blockade of Falluja, their heads will be cut off."

Change the "doesn't" to "does" and let Bremer and US Department of State for the Third World be warned!

[oolatec]

This is unfortunate, but we cannot give into their demands. That is exactly what they want.

[Happy2BMe]

Ping on #6.

[traumer]

Are they changing their demands ?
They asked Japan to pull out of Iraq...

[Happy2BMe]

Yes, but no.

At least we are able to garnish *some* intel out of their reports.

[TrueBeliever9]

We need to take the Iranian nuclear facility out ASAP!

[soozla]

You and "festus" ahead of you have, by far, THE BEST "NO B.S." SOLUTION to the miserable existence of these mental midgets I have heard all week!!!!

(From another recent report. On the highway between Baghdad and Fallujah.)

Suddenly, a large late model Toyota Saloon pulled up right in front of us.

(Audio of people speaking)

And three men, two of them masked, climbed out carrying assault rifles and insisted we look at the prize they had in the car.

(Audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: What's happened?

AMERICAN HOSTAGE: They attacked our convoy. That's all I'm going to say.

PETER CAVE: Okay.

(End audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: Their hostage, being held by two more masked men in the car, was wounded in the arm, his blue jeans covered in blood. He had blonde hair and a moustache and appeared more defiant than scared as they roughly yanked his head across so we could see his face.

(Audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: Do you want to give us your name?

AMERICAN HOSTAGE: Hamil (phonetic), Thomas.

(Audio of banging on car roof)

MASKED MAN: Go, go.

PETER CAVE: Okay, okay.

[Happy2BMe]

Please post the link for that if/when you get it.

[Travis McGee]

Pray for Thomas Hamil (sp?) and the other Western hostages in the hands of these animals.....

"hoping he gets wrapped in a pig skin before..."

You were faster than me :o)
My thoughts EXACTLY !!

Ceasefire In Iraq COLLAPSES

Ceasefire collapses, US hostage taken in Iraq

AM - Saturday, 10 April , 2004 08:00:58

Reporter: Peter Cave

TANYA NOLAN: It's the day after the 12-month anniversary of the toppling of Saddam's regime, and things appear bloodier than ever in Iraq.

The ceasefire called by US troops in Fallujah less than 24-hours ago seems to have already collapsed, with mortar rounds ringing out across the Sunni city where 450 Iraqis have died this week.

America has announced the death of six more of it's soldiers, taking the number of US troops killed since Shia unrest erupted on Sunday, to 39.

Meanwhile, insurgents are taking more foreign hostages, an alarming new strategy being used to try and drive coalition forces out of Iraq.

Our own ABC staff on the ground in Iraq have witnessed the taking of the latest hostage.

Hundreds of Sunni Mujahideen or Holy warriors armed with rocket propelled grenades, attacked a convoy of oil tankers taking fuel to US forces besieged in the town of Fallujah, destroying at least a dozen trucks and killing or wounding several drivers.

For hours, the Mujahideen ruled the main east-west highway in Iraq, where they took at least one American hostage.

Our Foreign Affairs Editor Peter Cave reports how he and his cameraman, Michael Cox, were taken by members of the Mujahideen to film the latest hostage, whose fate remains unknown.

PETER CAVE: It was a huge pall of thick black smoke billowing high into the air, west of the capital, that attracted our attention. As we drove closer we passed a burnt out oil tanker, a gaping hole in its side, then another and another.

(Audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: There appears to have been a major attack on oil facilities on the road just up ahead. There are three major fires burning up there with smoke going high into the sky, and just beside us here, an oil tanker is well on fire.

(End audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: But as we continued up the highway, it became clear it wasn't an oil facility, it was more oil tankers blazing furiously.

(Audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: On the road ahead, two oil tankers are burning. We've passed another half a dozen already on this road. There's been a major attack by Mujahideen. Just a short while ago, we spoke to an American who'd been taken prisoner by the Mujahideen.

(End audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: We'd been filming an oil tanker upside down in a ditch beside the road. Local people were braving the fierce heat trying to pull something from the cabin, most probably the driver, who was certainly dead.

(Audio of burning wreckage)

Suddenly, a large late model Toyota Saloon pulled up right in front of us.

(Audio of people speaking)

And three men, two of them masked, climbed out carrying assault rifles and insisted we look at the prize they had in the car.

(Audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: What's happened?

AMERICAN HOSTAGE: They attacked our convoy. That's all I'm going to say.

PETER CAVE: Okay.

PETER CAVE: Their hostage, being held by two more masked men in the car, was wounded in the arm, his blue jeans covered in blood. He had blonde hair and a moustache and appeared more defiant than scared as they roughly yanked his head across so we could see his face.

(Audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: Do you want to give us your name?

AMERICAN HOSTAGE: Hamil (phonetic), Thomas.

(Audio of banging on car roof)

MASKED MAN: Go, go.

PETER CAVE: Okay, okay.

(Audio of car driving off)

(End audio excerpt recorded on scene)

PETER CAVE: As they drove off, another car full of armed Mujahideen pulled up.

"I swear in the name of Allah", he says, "we don't care about death or life, we're going to heaven. Death is welcome."

We had to driver some kilometres back towards Baghdad before we found any coalition troops. Several tanks and two APCs guarding an overpass and watching the huge palls of smoke on the road totally under the control of the Mujahideen.

(Audio excerpt recorded on scene)

AMERICAN SOLDIER: Just past that first burning tanker?

PETER CAVE: We're the first people on…

(End audio excerpt recorded on scene)

We reported the fate of the American hostage but there was no immediate move to mount a rescue.

(Audio of crowd chanting)

Several more kilometres down the road and tens of thousands have gathered chanting "Jihad", or "holy war" in the huge Sunni mosque Saddam built on the western edge of Baghdad.

(Audio of speaker yelling through loudspeaker)

The speaker says, "we will say no with one voice. You Americans will not pass through here. There is no legitimacy in the new Iraq, except for those who fight."

This is Peter Cave in Baghdad, for Saturday AM.

[Kingasaurus]

Amazing how these "insurgents" behave just like "terrorists" when the battle starts turning against them. Forget about the media using the terms synonymously, however.
