Moderator: Just Announced Fox News. They said it was coming from Reuters via the Iraqi Defense Ministry
I heard that too. I don't know why any MSM, including FOX, keeps using these village idiots in any way?
I understand why we honor the rules of engagement but it damn well ticks me off right now. We may capture the vermin that did this or they may be killed in a firefight but at this point I'd like to see a little biblical justice. An eye for an eye.
Then as I was typing this I realized I really don't want that and for one reason only. I don't want our brave young men and women sinking to the level of the damned.
Privately thinking that these two deserved their fate for being part of an illegal occupying force.
They keep indicting ourtroops ..for killing these
Vermin?????????????????? We need a forceful and
devastating resposne to each and every errorist in
Iraq....shoot and ask questions later...trouble is..
our Libeeral frends want to investigate every time our
troops happen to kill a few that get in the way....
let us go..let the troops rip 'em...now..and again. Jake
I am sure that the Dem's will say that our soldiers deserved it for being over there! I hope that this totally hackes off our guys for some serious kick butt, take no prisoners, total whip out, to name a few cliche's. For the most part.... although I am a Christian, I hate them.
That would be the Rocky Mountain News. They won two well deserved Pulizer's for the story and photos (unlike the NYSlimes award for leaking NSA secrets). Have plenty of tissues handy.
What does this mean-headless?
No dice. A microcontroller running a stripped-down web server is not a GPS transmitter.
Look, I don't doubt that active locating devices exist, but they're not the size of the head of pin, match, or a fingernail.
That is bad. But even worse was this General's point #12 which said that there is a significant problem with our troops because they are very hostile/angry about the media.
You could almost make a poster:
Support Our Troops by getting a media person fired!
It was half in jest that I posted about sending the FBI/SWAT team into CNN to arrest the Al Queda operatives there.
I am not sure if there is as much jest in my comments anymore because of what the General said.
Our Troops have a significant problem with the media according to this General...
BTTT
The reality is we have lost tremendously little life (regarding U.S. casualties) in regard to all we have achieved in Iraq (and Stan).
Our casualty rate is very low - But without question every fallen warrior is tragic in and of itself -
What has been accomplished in the last 4 years is simply incredible - Since Sept 11th, 2001 our enemies have suffered one strategic defeat after another....we have not suffered one. The notion that certain soldiers may be alive if other tactics were used is the type of circling thinking that ties the hands of everyone and nothing would ever get accomplished. They reality is we have been incredibly successful in this WOT...and have done so with relatively few casualties on the whole.
Are JAGs and PC types at State and the Pentagon causing problems? Without question. But that is called the reality of the modern day world. As I said above are the pukes like Murtha, the DEM leadership and the MSM doing us harm?? Again Without out question they most certainly are...and purposely so at that!! They've foolishly staked their reputations on failure that isn't going to happen.
Best regards,

Baltimore killings usually just go on the "crime report" column on page three. One or two sentences per victim.

Report: Video Shows Burned U.S. Pilot Dragged By Enemy - April 5, 2006
The video, posted by a group calling itself the Shura Council of Mujahedeen, claimed that its military wing had shot down the craft, which the U.S. military said went down Saturday.
According to statements on Islamist Web sites, the Mujahedeen Shura Council was organized in January to consolidate al-Qaida in Iraq and other insurgent groups. The move was seen as an effort by Iraqi insurgents to lower the profile of al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian, whose mass attacks against Shiite civilians have tarnished the image of the insurgents among many Iraqis.
The footage in the video, which also was e-mailed to reporters, was blurry but the helicopter could be seen clearly. However, it was not possible to see if it had U.S. markings.
The video also clearly showed the bloody, burning body of a man being dragged through a field. The extremist group, in audio attached to the video, said he was a U.S. helicopter pilot.
Video apparently shows public beheadings - January 22, 2005
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A video posted on an Islamist Web site apparently shows two Iraqis being beheaded on a city sidewalk as pedestrians and vehicles pass by.
The video was posted on a Web site that previously has shown video verified as being produced by a group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. However, CNN has not confirmed the authenticity of this video.
In the video, the two men tell their kidnappers that they drove truckloads of food and supplies to an American base in the central Iraqi town of Ramadi.
The men said they lived in the Sadr City section of Baghdad and worked for a Lebanese company. While they admitted staying on a U.S. base for two weeks, the two said they were lured into the $150-a-month job not knowing they would be working for Americans.
The two men stood -- blindfolded with hands bound behind their backs -- in front of an Arabic banner bearing the name "al Qaeda in Iraq," a group linked to al-Zarqawi that has been responsible for numerous beheadings and other violence.
The last section of the 10-minute video shows the men beheaded by several hooded men as the victims lie on a sidewalk and onlookers cheer "Allah akbar" -- Arabic for "God is great."

Nice!
May I borrow it for the lefties on other boards that I battle with every day?
