Amen. I, too, will never accept the cultural Marxism that is being thrust upon OUR country.

[Alouette]

Haven't seen many white Muslims.

Arab and Iranian Muslims are white Caucasians. They are not "black" any more than Italians and Greeks.

[Petronski]

We shall see. But this is SeeBS, so don't expect precision of language.

[sinkspur]

Many of our dedicated soldiers are black. Did you see the very tragic picture yesterday of the little boy clutching the picture of his handsome Daddy who died last week in that helicopter accident?

His father held up a picture of his son and said that George W. Bush killed him.

Grenade hurts 13 at 101st Airborne camp

Sunday, March 23, 2003 Posted: 0133 GMT ( 9:33 AM HKT)

CAMP PENNSYLVANIA, Kuwait (CNN) -- Intruders lobbed a hand grenade and fired small arms into a command tent of the U.S. Army's front-line 101st Airborne Division early Sunday, wounding 13 people, six seriously, military spokesmen said.

The incident targeting top officers gathered in the Tactical Operations Center of the legendary division's 1st Brigade was first reported by Time magazine correspondent Jim Lacey, who is accompanying the unit.

The camp spokesman said six of the wounded soldiers were evacuated to a field hospital at Camp Arifjan, also in the northern Kuwaiti desert.

Lacey, who was in a tent about 20 yards from the blast, helped move two of the wounded to an ambulance. "The carnage inside those tents was pretty severe," he said.

A major told Lacey he saw a grenade roll by him before the explosion.

Lacey said two people "ran off into the darkness" after the explosion. Two people were being held by the military but it was unclear whether they were suspects, he said.

A suspicious bag made of camouflage material was being checked by military investigators.

Lacey said the bag did not "look like any piece of military equipment" and said it had been moved to one side and people were being told to stay away from it.

"I don't know if they think it's a bomb, or they're just not taking any chances with it," Lacey said.

Lacey said a "full company" of soldiers was guarding the perimeter of the camp before the blast, but there had been traffic in and out, including "trucks, buses, and contractors. It's not a foolproof system."

About 2,100 soldiers are encamped at the post. Lacey said immediately after the blasts soldiers were assembled and deployed around the compound.

Fox news reported he wa a member of the engineers with the 327th.

"Your people" Arc?

I thought we were trying to move away from that. Perot got hammered when he referred to "your" people as "you" people when addressing a black audience once.

[dep]

nevermind. found it.

[dandelion]

Praying for you - a mom bump and a hug. You are not alone.

[MonroeDNA]

I am shocked.

Not.

[demnomo]

God, please don't let him be black...what a disgrace that would be for our people.

The only disgrace is to him, ArcLight. If this is true, regardless of his race, he will have proven that he is not an honorable American soldier, but a disgrace to his country, outfit and mankind--the civilized branch of mankind, not the branch that admires Osama, Saddamn and their ilk.

If anything, this soldiers treachery will totally disgrace any and all Muslims, be they black, white or whatever, who are currently serving in the military. Muslim soldiers will be watched closely after this, I guarantee it. Sad. And evil.

[4.1O dana super trac pak]

Bump that.

[Petronski]

You are assuming that when SeeBS said 'black muslim' they meant 'a member of the Black Muslim movement' when it is entirely possible they were trying (artlessly) to say 'a black man who is a muslim.' They are NOT necessarily the same thing.

[MizSterious]

Is that the one whose sister said something about her brother being sacrificed for George Bush's oil? Whichever one that was, it made me ill.

[F16Fighter]

"Having a Muslim in the ranks makes as much sense as having a Nazi in the ranks in 1943"

No difference. Who'd want a Muslim "American" soldier covering their back?

[SauronOfMordor]

I'd just give him to the other soldiers for target practice or perhaps demonstration of napalm on human skin trials.

In certain Far Eastern locales, a method of execution was to take a length of bamboo long enough to reach from the person's foot to his navel. You sharpen one end, insert into rectum, place other end into hole in ground, attach subjects feet to stakes on either side.

You then see how long he can stand up.

[pipecorp]

Today he said he reacted in pain. No Apology given, but at least it was understandable.

[Diddle E. Squat]

For what it is worth, I saw a MSNBC report from Fort Campbell that said the military was taking up to 2 hours to notify families of casualties. I have no idea of the accuracy of that statement, but its been over 3 hours since the incident. Also has been reported that most of the 101st is operating in Iraq, and not in camp.

Hang in there, I'll pray for you and your son.
