Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough in todays Washington Times provide the perspective of Army Colonel H.R. McMaster, who is leading the campaign in Iraq to retake the border town of Tal Afar, on the Islamo-fascists he is confronting:
Col. McMaster appeared in the Pentagon this week via a video hookup to describe how his 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment, joined by 3rd Iraqi Army Division, routed most of the extremists.
But it was his description of how the enemy occupied their safe haven that got the most attention. Col. McMaster told of beheadings, gunshot killings, a booby-trapped dead child and kidnappings.
"This is the worst of the worst in terms of people in the world," he said. "To protect themselves here, what the enemy did is they waged the most brutal and murderous campaign against the people of Tal Afar. ... The enemy here did just the most horrible things you can imagine, in one case murdering a child, placing a booby trap within the child's body and waiting for the parent to come recover the body of their child and exploding it to kill the parents."
Col. McMaster said his men killed scores of the enemy in a series of firefights up and down the tight streets of the crossroads between Syria, where insurgents train, and the critical northern Iraqi city of Mosul.
Col. McMaster said soldiers captured some associates of lead terrorist Abu Musab Zarqawi. "They are some of the worst human beings on the face of the Earth," he said. "There is no really greater pleasure for us than to kill or capture these particular individuals."
...Well, Yes?...She's only been on the job (DoS) for what...15+ months.
Locality bias.
The world is a big place, it is full of barbarian scum, and reforming it all is a thankless and impossible task.
And why is Syria still in the game?
I know, I know, one war at a time. Maybe the UN should get on the case.
From the headline I thought this was going to be about liberal democrats.
A better question might be, is Condi a strong enough leader and sufficiently inspired to actually make a dent in the entrenched bureaucracy at the State Department? That bunch of critters has been pretty much anti-American for decades now.
Has anyone noticed a difference in what State is doing these days?. I haven't noticed anything at all, concerning Foggy Bottom.
"the bombing, starts in 5..4..3..2..1 seconds" I wish. :(
The State Department is full of Jewish anti-Jews. I just don't understand it.
A good friend of mine is in the 3rd ACR serving as part of Col. McMaster's personal security detachment. He says McMaster is the real deal, a true leader.
Yes, that particular demographic seems to be quite an enigma. With notable leadership positions in the Hollywood elite, the ACLU, the Communist Party, etc., they do not seem to be exclusively involved in Zionism and trying to put down the followers of Allah.
Amusing because a common term for Muslim Arabs is "the best of people" That is their supremacist attitude where the only true Muslim is an Arab and to understand the Koran it must be read in Arabic. Also an obvious reflection of Muslim supremacism where they are superior to all non-Muslims
LINK --Allah also said {You are the best of peoples} (3:100) and this ayat addresses primarily the first generation of Muslims, the Muhajirun and Ansar, who were Arabs except for very few. The ahadith that praise the Prophet's generation or century, "then the next, then the next" (Muslim) and Abu Bakr and `Umar as the best of mankind after him, confirm that verse although the number of non-Arabs increased.--
I agree. Some people compare these scum to "American Minutemen - Freedom Fighters".
These people are blind.
Such monsters do not deserve to be incarcerated in Gitmo getting catered meals, prayer rugs, clean clothing, etc. Exterminate them at the scene of their evil acts.
Use to be a capt writes this kind of book he would have been tossed from the US Army, but I see COS for this man.
And I understand that sometime the capture process can be a bit "vigorous" but the captive often survives. Sometimes days
"There is no really greater pleasure for us than to kill or capture these particular individuals." - Col. McMaster
These guys are modern day knights.
THE CODE:
Thou shalt respect the weak and constitute thyself the defender of them.
Thou shalt love the land to which thou hast sworn fealty.
Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy.
Thou shalt make war upon evil without cessation.
Thou shalt scrupulously perform thy noble duties be they not contrary to the laws of the land.
Thou shalt be generous and give freely to everyone.
Thou shalt never lie and shall always be faithful to thy word.
Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil.
THE MEASURE:
A Knight is sworn to Valor;
His heart must know only Virtue;
His Perfect blade must defend the helpless,
And his might shall uphold all weak.
His breath shall bring a word that speaks only truth.
His justly wrath shall undo the wicked.
He thinks these are the worse people on earth? He must not have heard of Jane Fonda, Michael Moore, or Cindy Sheenan.
The "liberal "guilt" doesn't allow them defend themselves. The only time that they are willing to attack anything is when it's President Bush. Then, the demSCUM are willing to use tactics that are the political equivalent of putting an explosive device inside a murdered baby.
For instance, using a natural disaster as a political club, using an attack on American soil that killed 3,000 of their countrymen/women as a political club, supporting and forwarding the idiotic comments of kooks like Moore, Sheehan (and the Moonbat Posse), or continuing to support the social campaigns of race whores like Sharpton, Hijackson, Farahkan, et al.
If there is a group that deserves to be wiped off the face of the policital landscape, it is any liberal group that continues to tear down America...from the inside. In some ways perhaps, they are actually worst, as they don't actually have the spine to acknowledge their own idiotic statements. They always feign ignorance, dodge questions, or immediately accuse those who question as "racist, bigoted, homophobes who are in a skillfully contrived conspiracy with Halliburton".
Spinless crap weasels to the 10th degree.
And these are Galloway's "Freedom Fighters!"
The POS is dispicable!
