They will.

These animals understand one thing: brute, unmitigated force.

Only one thing will stop this. We have to make it perfectly clear what will happen to the perpetrators of this barbarism.

Come 3 November, (anything earlier might ruin our future) we need a major shift in our efforts in Iraq to focus maximum resources to finding Zarqawi - alive. Once found, as gruesome as it may be, he needs to be slowly and meticulously, with maximum prejudice, DRAWN AND QUARTERED - and have it videotaped and force-fed to every possible media outlet in the world - especially the Middle East.

Once it becomes painfully clear that we have removed the gloves - this will begin to cease. I know the mindset of these scum - it's my business to know it. I've seen, heard, and felt their deeply-rooted hatred FIRST-HAND.

Nothing short of turning their own actions against them will work - I can assure you all of this.

Let it be done.

I held out hope, but I knew it was not realistic.
Damn it.

[EX52D]

Very well put, my friend, I share your view 100%...prayers to the families...

[RAY]

I can't adequately express my anger and sadness. We can't live in a world with such cruel animals or those who support them.

May God bless and comfort the victim's family and loved ones.

[BJungNan]

Don't show the video. I'm still sick from watching the one of Armstrong. Those people are so sick!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

And sh!thead is in Florida talking health care. "I have a plan." He's a putz.

[EggsAckley]

Yeah, you're both right. (Good thing that I'm not in charge over there...heheh)

[SheLion]

Every mosque, aka. terrorist camp, in Atlanta should be burned to the ground.

This map is two years old and more Mosque's have sprung up across the U.S. since.

[Conservative4Ever]

Damn the terrorists. God bless this poor man. Prayers to his family.

I don't know about the rest of you...but I'm getting reeeeaaaal tired of this.

Zarqawi Group Says Kills U.S. Hostage in Iraq-TV

DUBAI (Reuters) - A militant group headed by al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has killed a second American captive in Iraq (news - web sites) after the lapse of a 24-hour deadline on Tuesday, Arabic television channel Al Jazeera said.

It said a statement announcing the killing of American Jack Hensley by the Tawhid and Jihad group was posted on the Internet. It gave no further details.

On an Islamist site, a contributor who has in the past posted messages in the name of Tawhid and Jihad said the group would soon post pictures of the "slaying."

Hensley's reported death comes a day after the group beheaded American Eugene Armstrong who was also kidnapped along with Hensley and Briton Kenneth Bigley last week.

There was no word on Bigley's fate.

In Washington, a State Department official said: "We take these reports seriously but I don't think we have a body yet."

Tawhid and Jihad had threatened to kill the hostages unless women prisoners were freed from Iraqi jails.

The U.S. military says no women are being held in the two prisons specified, but that two are in U.S. custody and are accused of working on ousted Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's weapons program.
