May 12, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - A young American contractor in Iraq was mercilessly beheaded by Islamic terrorists on a horrifying videotape released yesterday as so-called revenge for the abuse of Iraqi prisoners. The sickening video, posted on an al Qaeda-linked Web site, shows a killer identified as terror boss Abu Musab Zarqawi sawing off the head of a screaming Nick Berg.

Agreed. Or would we have been hit by a OBL clone ? There's no shortage of volunteers to stage terrorist attacks on Western soil these days.

"All I can say, is that it is time for 'W' to forego his procalmation of 'It's a religion of Peace' bullshit, and proclaim the neccesary procalmation that it is now time to declare 'THE NEW CRUSADES HAVE BEGUN!' My God! What needs to be shown to the American public??? Islam is a false religion! It is time to either NUKE the infidels, set an example, or get the f#ck out!"

Yup. I've always said that Bush's biggest mistake was his soft-soaping islam by calling it a "religion of peace," and by saying our war was not against islam but against terrorism. Sorry, but they very much appear to be one and the same. Bush should have at LEAST said our war was against RADICAL islam. But giving islam in general a pass on this was a HUGE mistake.

This is all so much for me to take. I don't know very much about Mr. Berg. But I imagine what it must have been like to be sitting there, bound, and knowing that a horrific death is moments away. Or what it must have been like to be one of the people in the room or even to be the one committing the act- I can't even type it out. These people have so much hatred inside of them. It is hard to comprehend. I think the madness of this world is finally getting to me. My heart is so heavy. I pray for a day when we can all live in peace. But I don't see that day coming any time soon.

"I pray to God Pres. Bush does not take the bait. He should stay the course and administer justice as it is it is deserved. Anything else will end up being a disaster."

Not winning is the disaster. We ARE headed for a holy war; the mohammedans know it, but we don't, to our detriment.

It must be a politically correct target so as not to offend anyone however.

Beheading is a moslem hobby and plesant diversion. Bosnia produced lots of pictures of moslems walking around carrying the heads of Serbs, men and women. Indonesia has produced such pictures. There are pix from Afghanistan and Pakistan and I remember great numbers of them from Algeria during the French war there.

If Bush does not authorize our forces to really drop the hammer on these people, these things will continue.

"leave us with Syrian or Iranian military sites."

That ain't gonna happen. It's the same sentiment as attacking Saudi Arabia for the 9/11 atrocity or Pakistan for Daniel Pearl. The same as for all those who want MOABs dropped on Iraqi cities. It ain't gonna happen guys!

Our military needs to reflect our outrage.

Believe me, when it's my unit's turn to go, we will...

There will be no military retaliation against any nation state due to this murder. The enemy is Al Q it is stateless since Enduring Freedom.

I notice that the start of the animals' diatribe starts out with "Nation of Islam." Could this be a coded messages to their NOI cohorts in the United States to begin their campaign?

I saw that same thing, with the same reaction. Makes me wonder...

Perhaps it was when they began wailing to their god, or when they knocked him over onto the floor, or perhaps when the cold blade first touched his skin, or even a split second thereafter... at some point, he figured it out, and stark reality set in.

I can't believe someone actually took pictures of the family as they received this news.

This photographer needs to be slugged until the lesson sinks in.

Nation of Islam. Is there any excuse left to sit idly by?

Is that a reference to calypso Louie?

Sura 8:12

Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."

The brilliant folks over a DU are claiming he was held by our forces and purposely beheaded by the FBI for Bush's benefit.
