Black Muslim US soldier is a suspect! ("10 U.S. Soldiers Hurt In Grenade Attack")
CBS News website ^ | 3-22-03 | CBS

(CBS) Ten U.S. soldiers were injured, six or seven of them seriously, in a grenade and small arms attack at Camp Pennsylvania in northern Kuwait, reports CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann, who is traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division.

Strassmann said the grenades were rolled into two commanders' tents at the camp. When officers ran from the tents, they were hit by small arms fire.

"From our reports it appears that a terrorist penetrated Camp Pennsylvania, one or more terrorists threw two hand grenades into a tent," said George Heath, spokesman at Fort Campbell, home base of the 101st.

Strassman said three suspects were being held for questioning, two Kuwaitis who served a translators and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.

The injured soldiers were rushed to a field hospital but military officials had no word on their conditions, Lt. Cmdr. Charles Owens said from Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar.

The military did not identify the unit of the 101st that was in the camp but said it had been in Kuwait for about one week. Most of the division has entered southern Iraq.

Separately, Strassmann reported, an Iraqi rocket fired at U.S. forces in Kuwait was destroyed by Patriot missiles launched from nearby Camp New Jersey.

The terror and missile attack came as the U.S. assault on Iraq gained steam. American and British forces besieged the southern city of Basra and pounded Baghdad with impunity. But tough fighting loomed for coalition troops as they pressed deeper into Iraq.

C'mon, this will be underreported, understated, underestimated, buried, deep-sixed before you know it. The status quo train must go on, the Establishment Left and the Establishment Right agree.

I hope it's true. I don't want the religion accepted by our society. Look at the societies where Islam is the predominant faith, and you tell me, would you want to live in any of those places?

I totally believe it myself.

Think about how disruptive this could be though, right now.

We are in the middle of an effing War.

This could be a new version of "Suicide Bomber."

If this is true and I sure hope it is not, the fact that almost all of the House Democrat Black Caucaus voted Nay or Present on the resolution to support the president and our troops on Thursday just after a 99-0 vote for such support by the US Senate makes the position of the radical leftist black democrats more suspect. The House voted overwhelmingly to support but there were 33 who either voted Nay or Present. Democrats 32, Republican 1 and a weird one at that. Hopefully he will not be around after the next election.

MSNBC is saying a soldier is in custody. Didn't say whether he's a Muslim.

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

The fastest growing religion among convicted rapists and murderers in the US prison system has been dealt a huge blow. I hope Bush has the balls to quit making excuses for Islam, nobody buys it anymore.

It is now time to open the internment camps for all American citizens who are Muslim.

If they will not go peacefully we will use force.

If they will not renounce their evil religion they should be stripped of their citizenship and then repatriated with ALL of their family members to Saudia Arabia or Nigeria or any other country that practices Sharia law.

I have had it - they are all traitors and it is either us or them.

If he's Muslim it stands to reason it's a black Muslim. Haven't seen many white Muslims.

And we still wait to hear from the "Peaceful" Muslims.

The religion of pieces strikes again.

Then we at home will be their targets...and that would add fuel to the fire. This urgent task of verifying allegience must be handled with discretion and not with a blanket discharge. Some should be detained (not discharged) in both the civilian and the military for the protection of the innocent.

Set back? I've been waiting for it to come back in my estimation, but nothing Islam has done or said publicly has given me the opportunity.

"Didn't that nutjob John Mohammad (the D.C. sniper Daddy) do the same thing?"

Yes!

I am not a psychic but I all of a sudden I had a gut feeling and posted that possibility on another thread before we knew they suspected one of our own soldiers.

To: All; Peach "Two grenades - one or more terrorists penetrated and rolled grenades into tents."If I recall there was a story about the sniper John Allen Mohammad when he was in Desert Storm might have thrown a grenade in a tent.Lets hope we don't have another Mohammad type in with our Troops.

I don't see how 'black' is relevant in this situation. Muslim clearly is relevant, but I'm unclear why 'black' matters.

and an American soldier described as a black Muslim.
If true, every Muslim in the armed services should be shipped stateside and discharged.

have a son with the 101st I'm sure he would agree with you right now, I know I do

“I hasten to tell you that the precious lives that were lost in the World Trade Center was a cover, a cover for a war that had been planned to bring a pipeline through Afghanistan to bring oil from that region, oil owned by Unical of which Dick Cheney is a stock holder.”
