It will be a nice housecleaning of sorts for our British Friends, in that they will have a few less scumbags mucking up the quality of life in the UK after this trash is reduced to a bit of red splatter on the desert landscape.

ABOUT 70 young Muslim men have left Britain to join the insurgents who are fighting coalition troops in Iraq, senior security sources have revealed.
At least three have been killed in combat, including one whose role in an Iraq suicide bombing in February was disclosed by police only last week.
The growing problem of militants from Britain travelling to Iraq has been highlighted by Eliza Manningham-Buller, director-general of MI5, in recent briefings to Tony Blair.
The MI5 boss warned the prime minister that would-be suicide bombers and other fighters who want to kill British and American troops were using “a number of routes” to get to Iraq from Britain. Most have travelled to Damascus in Syria before being smuggled over the border to meet rebel leaders.
Senior police sources say that they are trying to unravel a British-based network recruiting “martyrs” for the Islamic “holy war” in Iraq. The operation emerged following the arrest last week of a 40-year-old man who is alleged to have shared a house in Manchester with Idris Bazis, a 41-year-old French Algerian who blew himself up during a terrorist attack in Iraq four months ago.
Anti-terrorist detectives believe that Bazis travelled from Britain to Iraq in January after Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq, appealed for volunteers to carry out suicide attacks in a bid to undermine the election.
“We shouldn’t be surprised that there are people travelling from the UK to Iraq to fight or try to fight,” a security official said. “You’re looking at dozens of people in total coming from the UK since the war.”
The official said that the recruits were mainly young Muslim men in their twenties and thirties who had volunteered independently of each other. They ranged across the social classes.
Some, like Richard Reid, the shoe-bomber from Brixton, south London, converted to Islamic fundamentalism after a life of petty crime. Others, such as Saajid Badat, were from middle-class backgrounds. He was jailed in April for planning a similar attack.
Some have been recruited by radical imams in mosques. Others have been lured to the cause by appeals on extremist websites. They include Britons and nationals from other countries, including north Africa, who had settled in Britain. Although an estimated 70 had gone in the past two years, few had returned, the source said.
Larger numbers of terrorist recruits left Britain during the late 1990s to fight the “holy war” in Bosnia, Chechnya and Afghanistan. The number of Britons estimated to have travelled to terror training camps in Afghanistan before 2002 has been put as high as 3,000 by MI5.
According to a senior rebel commander in Iraq, at least two Britons have been killed in the fighting there in the past year. One was named as Abu Hareth, 22. He is said to have joined an Al-Qaeda unit, only to be killed during a battle with American troops in the town of Taji, 20 miles north of Baghdad.
The rebel commander, who used the name Abu Ahmad, said that another Briton, called Ammar and also 22, had been killed during clashes between Al-Qaeda and American troops around the time of the Falluja offensive in April last year. Ammar had travelled to Iraq with his brother Yassr, 18, shortly after the fall of Baghdad in March 2003. “They could not wait to go out and fight and kept on asking when they would go into battle,” the commander said.
He said that Al-Qaeda had “branches, supporters and financiers” in Britain as well as in France, Spain and Germany.

Sounds like our war on terrorists is working. We can't go to Britain, or other countries to round them up, and/or shoot them. so we attract them to Iraq, where we and the Iraqis can summarily remove them from the gene pool.
Good! They can get their heads blown off with the rest of the trash.
Well, let's give them a nice welcome.

Yes, see:
THE BUSINESS OF TERRORISM

I guess they got bored, what with sitting around being peaceful all day.
Terrorist = muslim; muslim = terrorist.
It's a simple equation backed by a preponderance of evidence that seems to be blowing right through most brains in the world without cognitive imprinting.

Kinda like dogs, huh....whenever there's a dog fight, every dog nearby wants to be part of it.
Bingo.
Of course, to some of the defeatists here, we're in a quagmire, we've lost, we should leave, Bush is a second term failure, yadda yadda.

Interesting that terrorists can openly recruit in Germany, radical mosques can openly operate, but anyone trying to buy or sell Nazi memeropilia over the internet can be arrested. Which is the greater threat? Leftovers from Nazi thuggery defeated 60 years ago or their modern Islamofasict counterparts, still carrying out attacks today.
Sounds like a good analysis to me.
Millions of these sons-of-bitches are plotting as we speak to destroy our country and our way of life any way they can.
Some of them are here among us now. They don't want to convert you and don't want to rule you. You are a vile infestation of Allah's paradise. They don't give a shit how "progressive" you are, how peace-loving you are, or how much you sympathize with their cause.
They want you dead, and think it is God's will for them to do it. And you think Bush and Ashcroft are your worst enemies?
Some think if we give them a hug or listen to them, then they'll like us... and if you agree, then you are a dumb ass!
If they manage to get their hands on a nuke, chemical agents, or even some anthrax -- you will wish to God we had hunted them down and killed THEM while we had the chance.
From an email that is covering the net right now. It says it pretty well I think.
click..click...click.... "Paging Senator Kennedy... you have a wake up call on line one"
Great pics! Bump! Night!
Thanks for the great photos, and every day thanks to our brave military men & women.
