And God bless any Special Ops guy that may have used his rifle butt to take fisnish the job.
The Ass. Press interviewed an insurgent claiming to be a "witness" and are just passing his propaganda on to their comrades living in America so it can be used against the troops and President Bush.
Oops. I forgot the part about removing his eyelids permanently as well. That is very important.
" The American military team then pulled the man from the ambulance"
That ambulance sure got there in a hurry. Pure BS!
Yup. I know there are people who might say "Hey...isn't that pretty extreme? He is dead, isn't that enough?"
And I say, "No. Did you watch the way they removed poor Nick Berg's head with a dull knife while he screamed in terror? I made myself watch it, and that I why I have moral clarity about why we are in Iraq."
It could be a partial truth. Giving CPR to someone can look to the uneducated like a beating. Sometimes modern medical interventions can be a little disconcerting to witness. It's not like it is on TV.
My sentiments exactly.
In the video, supposedly from the scene immediately after the bombing, I can't see palm tree one, but the video of the house clearly shows it totally surrounded by them..although the footage of the bombing is grainy at best, I also failed to see another house anywhere in the video where this "witness" could have been living..
You left out the leftist apologists in this country. But all in all you sorta captured my thoughts.
For some reason the mental image of a 260lb Delta Operator dropping elbows Ultimate Fighter style onto al-Zarqawi doesn't exactly bring a tear to my eye.

Journalist for the Wall Street Journal, killed in Pakistan by Muslim extremists.
Pearl's captors made a video, titled The Slaughter of the Spy-Journalist, the Jew Daniel Pearl.
The video made its way to the Pakistani government and the U.S. government, and eventually it leaked onto the Internet through a Jihadist site. It consists of a Pearl monologue describing his Jewish upbringing, his family's involvement with the creation of the Israeli state, and his feelings regarding the current controversy. His monologue is presented in edited sound bites; at times he appears relaxed and his speech is natural, but during other parts he is tense and his speech sounds forced. Most of what he says is not terribly controversial, and notably he does not claim to be a spy for the U.S. or Israel.
According to published reports, when Daniel Pearl's throat was first slashed, a technical error caused it not to be captured on film. In the video Pearl's corpse is shown naked from the waist up, laying on a blanket; a man's arm is holding his head forward so that his cut neck cannot be seen. With the knife in his other hand, the man proceeds to cut deeper into Pearl's neck, from the back to the front. There is little blood. The man holding the knife is now strongly believed to have been Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, then the chief of military operations for al Qaeda.
The remaining 90 seconds of the video consist of a list of demands scrolling by, superimposed over a picture of Pearl's severed head being held by the hair. Among the list is a demand for delivery of American F-16's paid for but never received by the Pakistani government.
Transcript of the English text on the video:
NATIONAL MOVEMENT FOR THE RESTORATION OF PAKISTAN SOVEREIGNTY (NMRPS)
We still demand the following:
- The immediate release of U.S held prisoners in Guantinamo Bay [sic], Cuba. - The return of Pakistani prisoners to Pakistan. - The immediate end of U.S presence in Pakistan. - The delivery of F-16 planes that pakistan had paid for and never recieved [sic].
We asure [sic] Americans that they shall never be safe on the Muslim Land of Pakistan. And if our demands are not met this scene shall be repeated again and again....
Three suspects were caught after the Federal Bureau of Investigation traced emails announcing the kidnapping back to the laptop which sent them. The suspects were members of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a Pakistani terrorist group with ties to al Qaeda, whose membership is closely linked to both Khalid Shaikh and his nephew, Ramzi Yousef. The group is also linked to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian terrorist operating in Iraq who has since made the videotaped beheading his personal trademark. The Pearl killing was notable for kicking off an industry boom in terrorist snuff films that continues to this day.
Timeline 10 Oct 1963 Daniel Pearl born, Princeton NJ. 1985 B.A. Communications, Stanford University. 1990 Joins the staff of the Wall Street Journal. 1999 Marries journalist Mariane Van Neyenhoff. 23 Jan 2002 Kidnapped, Karachi Pakistan. 21 Feb 2002 Videotape received by Pakistani government indicating Pearl has been killed. On the tape: "Yes I am a Jew and my Father was a Jew." Then his throat is cut. 22 Apr 2002 Trial of Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, Salman Saqib, and Sheikh Mohammed Adeel begins. 16 May 2002 Daniel Pearl's body recovered in Karachi, Pakistan. 23 May 2002 The Federal Bureau of Investigation orders an ISP to remove the Daniel Pearl video from its servers, citing an obscenity law passed in 1996. Such behavior is an undisputable attempt at intimidation, as obscenity obviously does not apply to such a video. After some bad publicity, the FBI backed off its baseless claim.

I understood US MEDICS tried to save his ugly arse. If you have ever seen a trauma team work to save a critically injured patient, it just might look like a beating from a distance.
