VIDEO: DEATH TO PEACE ACTIVISTS IF DEMANDS NOT MET
Kidnappers Threaten to Kill Iraq Activists
Dec 02 3:52 PM US/Eastern
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Al-Jazeera television broadcast a videotape Friday in which kidnappers of four Christian peace activists threatened to kill their hostages unless all prisoners in U.S. and Iraqi detention centers are released. The kidnappers gave the two governments until Dec. 8 to meet their demands, Al-Jazeera quoted a statement delivered with the tape as saying.
The tape showed what the broadcaster said were two Canadian hostages. An American and a Briton are also being held. All four appeared frightened.
The Canadians were shown eating from plates of what appeared to be Arabic sweets. In a second clip, the British and American hostages were shown to talking to the camera but no audio was transmitted.
The two were calling on the U.S. and British governments to withdraw from Iraq, Al-Jazeera reported, quoting a statement from the kidnappers, who earlier identified themselves as the Swords of Righteousness Brigade
I saw it in the DVD bargain bin at Wal-Mart the other week.
Passed it up because I was in a hurry.
I may have to go back and look for it.
Harry Ellis (outisde with other peace activists): Hey babe, I negotiate million dollar deals for breakfast. I think I can handle these moslems.
Harry Ellis (meeting with moslems):Hey, business is business. You use a gun, I use a fountain pen, what's the difference? To put it in my terms, you're here on a hostile takeover and you grab us for some greenmail but you didn't expect a poison pill was gonna be running around Baghdad.
Harry Ellis(smiling): Mohammad, baby...I'm your white knight.
Mohammad: Cut this infidels head off!
And my response - who cares?
You bring up a good thought. This illconceived notion by these peace activist probably have resulted in activating the real heroes like Delta, or Seals, to attempt something daring if they get a location of these hostages, thus endangering their lives, moreso, and unnecessarily so, than they are already. These Delta guys don't have time for that kind of manufactured shit. Their plate is full.
Naivete and stupidity should not be a death sentence.
What's wrong with me is that what's her name (the Italian journalist) was an avowed anti-American, and IMHO was in cahoots with the terrorists in Iraq. She successfully set up a ruse to get them 5 million dollars. It's a shame a brave Italian special services man dies instead of her.
they wipe with the pages, well, at least when they remember to wipe.
That is the guy.
Yes, GWB "makes" these criminals kidnap people for ransom and sometimes murder them (including ordinary Iraqis), even the ones who are more or less on their side.
Leftie logic is a wonder to behold.
wow.... i forgot about that scene in die hard.
that describes the dems to a T!!!
If only we show them we mean them no harm! /s, sol, sos,
I submit they will be magically released for Christmas as a indication of the "great mercy of Islam".
A One Word Response - "NUTS!"
Are they cuter than peace activists?
I couldn't help it. Not all deaths should be mourned, especially if they might save lives of our soldiers.
"Sample didn't say their impending doom was delicious; just the irony. "
Funny thing about irony. It's so--ironic.
Very appropriate movie quote!
Christmas or the end of ramalamadingdong.
Promise?
