IRAQ: Part of me died when I saw this cruel killing

"Someone ought to grab Michael Moore by the neck and force him to read this article. "

I'll agree with the grab him by the neck part. Of course you'd have to have extremely large hands.

[SandRat]

hmmmm,.... wonder if we could somehow convince Michael Mooreon that he needs to go there, totally on his own and without any government's approval, to get an honest filming of the situation? Then a little web chatter,...... hmmmm.. Would sure solve a lot of problems,..... hmmmmm.........

[Buckhead]

The enemy's depravity has no end.

Your good question gives me another moment's emphathy for Pres. Bush.

AT THE SAME TIME, he is being criticized harshly BOTH for prosecuting this war single-handedly and bull-headedly, AND for not prosecuting it vigorously enough. IOW, he's BOTH too aggressive, and not aggressive enough. Cannot win.

That's part of his dilemma, I think. He's not a monarch. The country is split. He's doing a lot, regardless; but needs to do more -- yet without united support from the free citizenry?

I agree with your basic point. My answer is, "We're at war -- kinda."

I blame Bush some, I blame citizens and pols a lot.

[F.J. Mitchell]

This kind of depravity, has nothing to do with three years of war, as was alleged in the article. This demonic absence of any empathy at all toward a fellow human's pain, has always been a part of middle eastern culture (culture? tsk! tsk!) from the dawn of recorded history.

Calling the monsters who did this to a woman in particular, or to anyone at all; a man or a human, is an insult to all of civilized humanity. And we forfeit the right to call ourselves civilized, if we allow such sonovabitches to live!

[BibChr]

Yes, Ivan -- but you don't count! You're sane! (c:

My question is what is the opposition's PLAN and RATIONALE? Withdraw, because ______? And so that _______ can happen?

[JamesP81]

My preference is to crush them thoroughly.

What's sad, and the reason we may be in trouble over the longterm, is we are not willing to do this. We have the ability to absolutely crush almost anybody we want to, but we don't really have the cojones to do up and do it. We are too PC, and too 'nice', and too 'sensitive'.

There's an old saying about being able to sleep well at night because rough men are willing to do violence on our behalf. If only the pols would let them...

Some dogs NEED killing.

[Prost1]

"But the manner of her death testifies to the breakdown of law, order and justice that she so bravely highlighted..."

The manner of her death is the reason we should have annihilated about 100,000 as a lesson. We are not fighting "terrorists".
Our Rules of Engagement were wrong!
They should have been and should be: "Find the enemy, kill the enemy!"
We are fighting thugs, murders, islamofacists and jihadists.

A theatre-sized screen should be erected in Congress and this video played at the next State of the Union.

"According to a report that was circulating after Bahjat’s murder, she had enraged the Shi’ite militias during her coverage of the bombing of the Samarra shrine by filming the interior minister, Bayan Jabr, ordering police to release two Iranians they had arrested"

Good job.

RIP.

[Grampa Dave]

What is amazing is how the left wing maggots in your country and America love these sadistic bastards and call Tony Blair and President Bush killers and worse.

[nmh]

Yes, it is sickening.

If I were on that jury it wouldn't take me days and worn out misguided self righteousness to put him to death.

My beliefs tell me that hell is far worse than any prison on this earth, I say SEND HIM THERE! Let the evil pervert find out there are NO virgins waiting to service him.

I always wonder ... what's in it for the Muslim women?

I have been trying to convince people that burning down the barn to get rid of the rats is not a good idea. After reading this, I'm wondering if we don't need a new barn, anyway.

[Valin]

I seriously doubt he'd get it. His (and those that "think" like him) hatred for America and this President just blanks out everything else.

I've shown this to people I know on the left and they dismiss it as rightwing propaganda.

[wildcatf4f3]

Michael moore doesn't care...Hes gotten RICH and thats really all that matters to him. The Left doesn't care...they've defended mass murdering tyrants for a hundred years. There is no hoping they will see the light. For the war to be properly fought it would be neccesary to destroy the fifth column here at home first. It aint gonna happen, so just relax and enjoy the waning days of America because its over. The Left has won.

[Cannoneer No. 4]

The United States is at war. That you two are uncertain of that fact is the result of the information you have processed about this war. It is possible, with some effort on your part, to educate yourselves.
