Geneva Convention? What's that?

That's the agreement that such tactics are punishable by being shot to death on the spot. No trial, no attorneys, etc. Those who conduct operations wearing fake uniforms of their enemy or in civilian clothes can be immediately shot as spies. This was considered an automatic assumption under the rules of war at the time of the American Revolution, at the time of the War Between the States, during WWI and WWII, and during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. It should be no different today. We should find and kill the perpetrators of this act of terrorism. There should be no attempt to capture or interrogate them. Just find them and shoot them on the spot.

I don't know what "sarasota" stands for, but I do know what Saratoga stands for....obviously, you do not.

A little "war-weary" are we? What a comfort it must be to the enemy to know that a few more dead GIs will be all it takes for people like you to scream for capitulation. Too bad our troops don't realize who the real enemy is.

Now every time a US soldier encounters a uniformed Iraqi he will have to wonder " Who is he REALLY working for?"

You're right. He also has to wonder that when he encounters a reporter or a member of the US House or Senate. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, its easier to answer the question regarding the reporter or the politian.

[Why should I? FR seems to have all the info I need.]
 
To effectively control rats, termites, and the problems they create, one must understand how they think and observe them where they live.  This may require leaving one's comfort zone and crawling into the attic or under the floorboards.
 
Pretending they do not exist will not solve the problems they create.
 
I get the impression that maybe FR and the mainstream media have all the info you WANT to see.
 
You've never seen the behavior - therefore it does not exist.  The Ostrich cartoon is an appropriate illustration of such an attitude.

Please get all the impressions you want, correct or incorrect. You have no idea who I am, just as I have no idea who you are...you should not make assumptions about someone you have no knowledge of.

I'm not assuming anything.  I'm drawing a conclusion based upon your own words, written here on the forum. 
 
Are these your words?

Yes or no?

"Embellishing stories is a favorite regional passtime."

That may be: my point is not that all Arab reporters are trustworthy, but simply that they are often our only choice when it comes to news on the ground in Iraq.

I think you overreacted to my having a bad day which, by the way, was also an overreaction. I'm back on course, but I've found that the more helpful replies are the ones that put forth encouragement instead of sarcasm.

[Yes,]
 
Yes they are your words, and so are these:
 
"I haven't ever witnessed any glee over our men being killed, from anyone, anywhere."

In re the computer stolen: It wasn't a high-level security computer.

I was at the Free Republic gathering on Saturday to protest the jane fonda, islamofascist crowd. They do not like us.

Thank you for being there to make a stand.

In re the so-called anti-war crowd who was there. If a celebrity or liberal politician cried out for a war on oranges, the same people would show up to protest oranges.

I learned, over the decades of years in San Francisco, first hand the origin of the phrase "deja vu again" -- you see the same people! BUT! Take these same people back to the places they live in, and they war and brawl with their own "members". So, they have to attend these things -- it unites them into some kind of purpose. As I am saying: It's a lifestyle therapy for these people.

Thank you for twanging some heads by your mere presence in DC! :)
