Fallujah, Iraq, Jun. 25 (UPI) -- Iraqis who live in Fallujah say foreign Muslim fighters have instituted a Taliban-like regime in the city, the Washington Times reported Friday.

Among the steps taken by the non-Iraqi mujahedin are bans on drinking and music, establishment of Islamic courts to enforce moral codes and the execution of more than a dozen people suspected of helping U.S. forces.

>> The law-abiding citizens have been disarmed. <<

We should re-arm them and quickly.

This is great news for the anti-war people, who preferred the Taliban in power, and so energetically campaigned against war in Iraq.

Picture sKerry and Kennedy locked arm-in-arm going in circles looking up in the sky saying "Praise Allah".

We should re-arm them and quickly.

Won't happen. Can't tell the good guys from the bad guys. They all look alike. Armed people are shot on sight.

I doubt if the double tatoo on that Islamokazi came from a normal rifleman. The guy shooting was a real pro.

[Grampa Dave]

We only hear the good news and see the photos of the masked Islamokazis.

It is time we spread the good news when these Islamokazis are put out of their misery on earth and sent to Muslim hell to be greeted by 72 hungry pigs.

Well, we all know what happened to the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.

We never should have backed down in Fallujah. Now it seems the terrorist scum have a firm foot hold now. Maybe the Marines should go back in. Probably not the best idea, but this situation should not be allowed to continue.

What do you think we should/could do? I'm out of ideas other than retaking the town.

Good shooting.

"Well, we all know what happened to the Taliban regime in Afghanistan."

My wife and I know a fellow whose son was a Marine Sniper and has been a Navy Seal for about 3 years.

He told us about:

1. As the Talibunnies rushed out of the mountains to rescue their buddies in the cities of Afghanistan, they went to Muslim hell rapidly as various spec ops took them out.

2. Then, last May through August the same thing happened in Iraq as the true Islamokazis from Syria, Iraq, Jordan and ? rushed into Iraq.

I'm sure that the same thing is happening now on a wide scale. Of course the left wing mediots will only show masked Islamokazis in their last fifteen minutes of fame.

Train Iraqis to go in there and wipe them out.

We are doing that. The first group of trainees are now leaders who are training the next group, who will do the same with the group following. A geometric progression. 10 train 100 train 1000 train 10,000, etc. Properly trained and equipped the Iraqis are fearsome fighters. Give them no training and no equipment and they run, which is the only logical thing to do under those circumstances.

Excellent point-

Either fight, or get the hell out and let the US clean-up crew disinfect the place. I believe the new and improved daisy cutter sanitizes nicely!
