Just breaking on FOX, via al Arabeya. Another hostage has been taken, terrorists threaten to behead him if prisoners are not freed.
I think it could be a ruse(?), try and make the world think they will do it, same make believe if they claim they did
that would give Pakistan a little wiggle room
i.e. "see, they are even attacking us because we are fighting them"
and I think that "we are fighting them" part to be nothing but BS
Just p*ssing everybody off...
There are quite a number of Pakistani Christians.
see post 55, interested?
"Didn't seem to slow down Saddam, or Assad, or any of the others."
others = terrorists. It's OK, you can say it. We have the proof now. :o)
They aims would be achieved if only they were putting underwear on the heads of hostages. Brokaw, Jennings, and Rather would be on that 24 hours a day. It would break our will to fight any longer.
This is remarkably stupid. Muslims killing muslims is not a way to win friends and influence people in the Islamic world. Pakistan isn't going to kvetch and cry and pull out their troops. Just the opposite. They will open a 40 oz. can of whupass.
Time to start beheading those in Guantanamo...
If it were Islamic terrorists doing the "pantying" instead of American troops then Brokaw, Jennings, and Rather would praise them for their "pantying" instead of their beheading.
Find out who these people are and execute anyone even remotely related to them.
Ah ... memories.
I hate to say it but it would seem that the last person (on our side) with any b@lls was Harry Truman when he ordered the Atomic Bombing of Japan.
After the 2nd one - the Japanese in power got the message.
What's good Crusading music?
The Pakistani is an employee of Halliburton. The Dims will say it was W/Cheney's fault. You know how they hate Halliburton.
And what a bluff Harry played. We only had enough material to make three bombs. It would be a year before we could get the materials to make a 4th one. The first of the three bombs was set off in Nevada... to prove that they worked. The other two were dropped on Japan.
Harry threatened to level Japan with a flury of atomic bombs. The Japs feared we would kill every Japanese. They did not surrender after the first one.. thinking that perhaps we only had one. But after the second they threw in the towell.
As a result the Japanese assumed we had lots of Atomic Bombs. They did not know until long after they surrendered that we had already dropped all of them we had.
When Harry was a Senator he used to go to Sam Rayburns office at the end of the day to drink whiskey and play poker. Harry did it more than a few times after he became president. He rarely lost.
They could not tell when Harry was bluffing and neither could the Japanese.
"And what a bluff Harry played. We only had enough material to make three bombs."
Yup! B@lls - Huevos - guts - attitude and all the rest.
"A most cruel and strange new weapon ..." - Wasn't that the Emperor's words?
Pink Cadillac.
I like "1,000 to 1" as a retribution ratio. I still want 18,000 dead Somali terrorists.
