Time to send in Delta Force. This man should be killed.
Yes, and in such a manner that it would be a real message to these rabid dune baboons..
He earned a hard death.
Why bother with Delta when a JDAM will do just fine?
This is a cave by Germany to the terrorists. Merkel isn't worth a damn either.
Any way you want it just needs to be done and fast. It is time that we start to send a message to these people. If they want terror then we should give it to them.
I am sure President Bush will make sure this thug does not see the New Year.
With any luck, he'll find the New Lebanon too "hot" for his liking. Maybe he'll meet up with some of those US Navy guys whose unit is named the same as a marine mammal.
And his head should be delivered in a box to Merkel by the U.S. Ambassador to Germany.
Germany proves as resilient as France and Spain. Not even the strength of wet toilet paper.
Where is the outrage in our government? Where is the demands that he should have been sent here? Where is the indignation at Germany bowing and scraping to terrorists?
Dead silence from the media and our own government.....
How about John McCain, has he mentioned the torture Robert Stetham went through before he was murdered?
Bastard McCain.
What should happen is that Congress should issue letters of Marque and Reprisal against this POS. Here's a link as to what this is exactly: ( http://www.progress.org/archive/fold232.htm ). Needless to say, the likelihood of such action being taken is about the same as that of a snowstorm in hell.
Anyone here care to guess the odds of the collection of jelly-spined cowards in the Capitol (located in Washington, District of Criminals) would actually take such an action? These stinking cowards disgrace the memory of Lt. Stetham with their craven PC cowardice. Kofi might get upset, after all.
So much for this new woman in Germany. The suspicion is she made the trade for their hostage in Iraq (that was released this week) but the mystery: Why someone involved with Hamas, we haven't really been fighting Hamas in Iraq.
Time for O'Reilly to start a boycott against Germany.
The Honor should go to the Navy. It was a Navy man that this pig dog killed. In fact the Navy named a Destroyer after Robert Dean Stethem. I say we station the USS Stethem (DDG 63) off the coast of a Lebanon, possibly with a SEAL team embarked. She's got a helicopter pad to provide a landing spot for one possible mode of transportation. OTOH, she's also equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles. Or maybe just a smart bomb from a USN F/A-18 Hornet. Let the aforementioned pig dog worry about just which US Navy assets are coming for his ASSets.
Did Germany release the murderer of US Navy Diver Robert Dean Stethem in order to gain the release of German Susanne Osthoff, who had been held hostage by terrorists in Iraq since November 25?
Credible sources in the Egyptian government, who were involved in the negotiations, have confirmed that this is the case.
Earlier today (Tuesday), it was announced that Mohamed Ali Hammadi had been released by the German government. Hammadi had been convicted and sentenced to life without parole by a German court for his role in the hijacking of TWA flight 847.
Robert Dean Stethem was a 23 year old steelworker and diver with the US Navy when he boarded a flight from Athens to Rome on June 14, 1985, at the conclusion of his assignment in the Middle East.
But ten minutes after takeoff, events took a fatal turn for Stethem. Two men, Hizbullah terrorists, stormed the cockpit with guns. One pulled a pin to a hand grenade, and forced the pilot to divert to Beirut.
The terrorists quickly learned that Stethem was in the US Navy, and was severely beaten. He was finally shot in the head, and his body dumped onto the tarmac in Beirut.
It would be 17 days before the remaining hostages were released.
Hammadi, the brother of Hizbullah leader Abdul Hadi Hammadi, was arrested two years after the event by German authorities. Three others implicated in the hijacking remain on the FBI Most Wanted Terrorist list: Imad Mugniyah, Ali Atwa, and Hassan Izz-Al-Din.
Mugniyah has been tied to kidnappings and bombings throughout the world over the past two decades, including the following:
* April 18, 1983 bombing of the United States embassy in Beirut, which killed 63 people including 17 Americans
* October 23, 1983 simultaneous truck bombings against the French paratroopers and US Marine killing 58 French soldiers and 241 Marines.
* September 20, 1984, he attacked the US embassy annex building.
* Linked to the numerous kidnappings of Westerners in Beirut through the 1980s – some were killed, some by beheading, and a few were eventually released
* March 17, 1992 bombings of the Israeli embassy in Buenos Aires Argentina, which killed 29
* July 1994 bombing of the AMIA cultural building in in Buenos Aires Argentina, killing 86 people
* Orchestrated the 2000 abductions of three Israeli soldiers in the southern part of Lebanon
* Abduction of Israeli Colonel Elchanan Tenenbaum.
There are striking similarities between terrorism of 20 years ago at the hands of Mugniyah, and the practices of the present-day terrorists in Iraq.
It is very likely that Mugniyah, who remains at large, is heavily involved in the leadership of the Iraqi “insurgency”.
It is not surprising, then, that attempts were made to force the release of Mugniyah’s compatriot and partner in crime Hammadi by kidnapping a German citizen in Iraq. Since Hammadi’s apprehension in 1987, there have been numerous attempts by Hizbullah and their allied groups to free Hammadi by exchanging him for German hostages in Lebanon in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s.
The release of Hammadi shortly after the release of German hostage Susanne Osthoff is more than coincidence.
Mugniyah and his murdering thugs have finally brokered the release of Hammadi.
Robert Stethem was not the first person murdered by Hammadi and company. He almost certainly will not be the last.
The man who murdered a US Navy diver in cold blood is free - free to kill again.
No wonder Germany gets so weak-kneed at our implementation of the death penalty. Hell, they let terrorist murderers go after twenty years. Just your run of the mill murderer probably gets two weeks house arrest, as part of a four week probation.
He was not an O-3 or even an O-2. He worked for a living. He was a Steelworker Second Class (DV) (Where DV stands for Diver).
