| EXECUTION: FOUR HELD |
|
The 26-year-old businessman's decapitated body was found 10 days ago in Baghdad.
His killing was shown around the world on the internet.
The poor quality website video showed Berg dressed in orange overalls kneeling on the floor with his hands tied back.
There were five masked men behind him. One read a statement urging Muslims to take revenge over the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by American soldiers.
The masked men then pushed the American contractor to the floor and shouted "God is greatest" above his screams.
His head was cut off with a knife and then held aloft.
The website said the execution was performed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a top ally of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
It is not known if he was among the four people arrested.
More...
Nicholas Berg's headless body was found May 9 in western Baghdad. Three days later, a videotape posted on an al-Qaeda-related website showed him being decapitated by hooded men.
Berg's captors said the killing was to avenge abuses of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison by US forces.
It almost seems coordinated. The bias. I'm not big on conspiracy theories but sometimes I have to wonder.
I know there are some media outlets that do it on purpose. They are blatantly trying to undermine everything in order to regain the White House. I just wish they would have the gonads to admit it. It's an insult to my intelligence when they pretend they are only telling it like it is. Because I KNOW that's not how it is. I've got my sources too.
We still do need to torture some prisoners, it's a military necessity.
If finding Zarqawi will result in stopping more car bombs and sarin bombs, torturing those four for fast information would be a highly moral act.
To put them in a comfy cell, their information intact in their heads, while car bombs blow up innocents, would be an act of moral cowardice.
"Maybe someone should ask Michael Berg what should happen to them.That should be very interesting."
That "someone" sure as hell won't be the media, and if by some miracle they did, it wouldn't be without a leading question that still fits into their HBA (Hate Bush Agenda).
It's difficult to blast the media for always portraying the negative side of things when folks here soak it up like it's Gospel.
Wonder if it is now possible to ask them politely if they were guilty?
We can hope in this case, if these are the guys that did the deed, justice is severed.....
I sometimes wonder if Soros has paid off well-placed media sources. It is just one thing after another!
I wouldn't put it past him. It's right in line with how he conducts business. Undermine and take advantage of the collapse.
In this case, "undermine" would be what the media is so gladly doing by hyping the "moral outrage" over the prison abuse fiasco and downplaying the beheading ON VIDEO of an American citizen.
"Taking advantage of the collapse" would be to get a Democrat elected President in the US. That way he can hedge (using foreign currency holdings) against the US economy slipping back into a recession which would be the result of Kerry's tax hike putting the brakes on the recovery.
It's what Soros does. I just wish people would wise up to it.
Hold everything!!!
Stop the world!!!!
Car chase just ended on FoxNews.
Remember this guy
Domination is universally understood, and in the ME, respected.
Me neither. That would be mean.

Thanks for soliciting my opinion. On the spot, here it is: since a lot of the "outrage" is focused on the pictures of "whatever" happened at that prison, NO PHOTOS.
Get whatever information is possible, and then finish them.
This will conflict with what I've said on another post, about treating them humanely (concerning their execution)...but once these people see the light of day, it's got to be done by the book.
So if they are that serious about ending the threat, and bringing these guys to justice, get to a private place, no pictures, no cameras, get the information, and finish them off.
If the world hating us is a constant, then the choice remains whether or not to let them live. Considering the crime, and the constant, the choice is clear: they die.
If terrorists start seeing and hearing about their fellow terrorist friends just dissappearing around them... They'll crap their pants.
No photos. No records. No witnesses.
That's what it's going to come down to.
Stay Safe !

Yup. And here's where we find out what people really believe. If they REALLY believe that death is honorable, and that they don't care about their lives, we get what info they can, and oblige them.
If they DO care about their lives, maybe we get more information. The end result is still the same: they die.
But we don't kill without reason. We don't blow up mosques just because they're there. If WMDs are found there, we get rid of the WMD's. If they fire on us from the mosque, then follow the ROE, and if they don't comply, both they and the mosque go bye-bye.
That's how I'd do it...at least, in theory. I told someone yesterday, if this thing is not totally put down by Election Day, and the President is re-elected, all hell is going to break loose the very next day.
"Our fast food society for the most part are desensitized as to the atrocity of 9-11..."
Not me. NEVER. I'll never forget.
"Do not be afraid to be powerful. Cold War-era gambits of proportionate response and dialog may have some utility in dealing with practical terrorists, but they are counter-productive in dealing with apocalyptic terrorists. Our great strengths are wealth and raw power. When we fail to bring those strengths to bear, we contribute to our own defeat. For a superpower to think small, which has been our habit across the last decade, at least, is self-defeating folly. Our responses to terrorist acts should make the world gasp!"
'Nuff said.
Bret Behr (sp) on FoxNews: If the sarin bomb had been exploded correctly, allowing the gas mixture to disperse, it could have killed thousands.
