God speed for his soul.

Open up the gates of Hell and let it rain down on these bastards heads.

[King Prout]

yes.
there was a special dispensation for all troops in Iraq, encouraging the growth of mustaches, supposedly for "cultural sensitivity" purposes - the same nonsense which modifies the dress of our servicewomen in Saudi.

I wouldn't, I would kill them by eating them if I had to.

[dila813]

Only if there is a medical reason. The id doesn't look legit.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

Anything that undermines our efforts will be all over the wire services this week.

Praying that we have the courage to stand fast in the face of their 24/7 provocation, and look beyond the enemy spin for the facts before responding.

Marine Missing, But Coalition Can't Confirm Hostage Reports

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, June 27, 2004 – Multinational Force Iraq officials in Baghdad today confirmed a U.S. Marine has been missing from his unit for a week, but said they can't confirm he's been taken hostage.

A news release from the Coalition Press Information Center said Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun, assigned to the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, has been missing from his unit since June 21.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service, however, cannot confirm news reports that the corporal – who is of Lebanese descent -- has been taken hostage, the news release said.

More information was promised as it becomes available.

They know they can't win, so desperation tactics like these are the best they have.

They have already lost, they just don't know it yet.

[wardaddy]

They must fear us...it's the only way. I fear we cannot kill them all...baring cataclysm.

[ezo4]

I believe if kerry wins, we will see exactly up close and personal a wmd with in a few years guaranteed. We will prolly see it any way. But at least we are killing bad guys. Like some other poster said on another thread about this. If that happens our economy is in the tank and America will be really hurting

[auggy]

That's not all that would be over.

As Alan Keyes just said, "We are Loosing our Republic".

It may be over as we sit here. I have a feeling the vote fraud is already fixed, and Bush will not have a chance.

2000 Presidential Election could be the last fair election, and it wasn't fair. This time these communists are NOT going to have to recount.

I hope to God I am wrong.

[just me]

It may be over as we sit here. I have a feeling the vote fraud is already fixed, and Bush will not have a chance.

I have had the same thoughts, and I am sure other people have too.

The things I hate most is they pull their fraud right under our nose. They let unregistered voters vote. They vote in black churches, or at least that is where they said they got a box of ballots for Gore in Florida when he started to lose the count.
They let non-citizens vote. Give homeless cigarettes to vote, like they have an address. They even let the dead vote. etc. etc. I really despise the Democratic Party and their followers.

This "one way" terrorism -- has gone too far..

Once the new Iraqi government "takes over" -- it would be a grand gesture on their part if they wished to behead their entire collection of convicted Islamist terrorists on TV --- Three each night would be nice....until they surrender the lunatics we were after in Fallujah...

It's an Arab Muslim "right of passage" we're being told..
Let the Free Iraqi government kill every swinging $ick they have the goods against.....BROADCAST IT throughout the Muslim world and lets see if they receive that with as much glee when it's their lunatic "heroes" heads falling under the swinging blades.......

This effort in the middle east will NOT end until 10s or 100s of thousands of these cowardly lunatics are destroyed..... THERE as well as here if they attempt their crap here....

I wonder if those clowns know how close they're getting to setting off a worldwide response to THEIR ethnic/religious war -- which they claimed was their objective --- do they have any clue of how THAT would go?

Once these bastards learned they were no match for armed American warriors -- they reverted to their cowardly tactics of killing from a distance with bombs against innocent Iraqi woman and children.... Once they learn that they can lose their heads QUICKLY and with no soul saving formality --- perhaps they will consider the consequences of their barbarous behavior....

The "theory" of the Geneva Conventions and the "rules of war" -- is that ALL would abide by the same standards of "humane warfare"....
Now folks, if you can't see the insanity in that concept -- given the lunatics we face today --- you're hopeless.

The ONLY way to conduct "humane warfare" is to fight in such a manner that it ends QUICKLY - with the enemy doing most if not all of the dying....

Semper Fi

"They have already lost, they just don't know it yet.

Now is the time to be most careful...
We were winning in Vietnam....
We were killing them in numbers that could not have been sustained for long...their corpses were emaciated and their packs of goods and ammo were nearly empty....they were running on fear and drugs...

THEN, the media -- Walter Cronkite in particular -- decided that we were losing and moaned and preached -- night after night --- until finally the America people demanded an end to our involvement...

We left our allies hanging -- and they indeed did lose..

To this date -- I hold the Democrats, Media, American cowards and leftist responsible for nearly 60,000 Americans killed and immeasureable Americans with physical and emotional wounds that they carry to this day....

The media, PC idiots, American leftists and America liars and cowards are STILL on the scene....They are still working to destroy our will.....They can lose this war if we don't keep a clear eye and a strong arm....

Semper Fi

[Imal]

A very good point. Hopefully we haven't already lost the war against the enemies within.

[aCookieMomster]

I agree!

[Michael Smith]

If they behead a US serviceman, we need to rachet this thing up and unleash Hell upon these savages.

[XBob]

you better get your gun and go over there and defend him. It's your 'booty' he was defending.

[auggy]

They do it all right under our noses, because they know, they can. Republicans allow them to,(most of the time)the media allows them to, and will not report on it.

I hate the fact, that I cannot convince any of the Democrats, the ones I know, that their party is corrupt and isn't the same party, as it was before the Clinton era. It was bad enough , before Clinton.
They will say, you can't believe anything off of the internet, or something similar.

They refuse to believe any thing bad against their party.

[Red6]

I wish him the best, because the US government will NOT respond to blackmail. Tactics used against Europeans like Spain will NOT bring results with the US. At best it will just piss a bunch of Marines off. The result will be more pain for the Iraqis. That's it.

I think you need some help or someone who you can argue with 24/7. I'm out of here.
