Not shocked at all that they would use this illegal tactic to appeal to the Arab street.

SOBs, they'll probably commit all kinds of atrocities to get the arabs all stirred up.

That's all Tobin said, and he only had that much because he was handed a press release after he was already on the air. Might be a little while until we get any more details.

I swear, if we need to test an EMP device, just aim the little bugger at Al-Jazeera's HQ. That would do more to help us win the propaganda war than a million troops ever could.

Although I don't really understand why we care what they think. They're going to resent us anyway, war or no war.

The Iraqis booted Al Jihadi out of Baghad yesterday. They will probably not be back on the air out of there until the coalition marches in. How ironic is that?

We'll have contingency plans. Lies will be countered with facts, and the national leaders will get the picture.

Whatever happens, the arab-street guys will scowl, howl, shake their fists and look real angry, with their five o'clock shadows. A few will blow themselves up. They can't go to Afghanistan, as before.

Nobody said this epoch series of battles (in WWIV) will be easy, or pretty, or quick. We will prevail.

It doesn't take much to "get the Arabs stirred up".

They sit around waiting for reasons to be "stirred up".

Let 'em be "stirred up". They're going to be "stirred up" no matter what we do.

Might as well take on all of 'em while were at it, and while we have the army there to fight these barbarians in filthy nightshirts.

I say we deal with all our problems at the same time, right there, right now. Might as well. We're going to have to fight all these Islamokazi b@stards someday, might as well be now, before half their states have nukes.

I know, we should march right into syria after baghdad. You're right the arabs live stirred up, they are the most emotional and irrational people ever. You say day they say night-crazy.

There have been a lot of reports along these lines (oil wells, bridges, refineries, dams, WMD, massacres in Allied uniforms) none of which have successfully come to pass. So, I won't get too concerned over this latest one unless the Iraqis actually succeed at pulling this off.

Had to do a double take. I thought for a minute y'all were talking about Leftists with their hair-trigger bladders.

You say day they say night-crazy.

If Saddam had a third son, his name would be Yousayday and he would be crazy just like the other two. I'm really tired--better go to bed when I start making jokes that bad.

If I woke up tomorrow and Bush announced he was going to pull all our forces out, and then use nukes to completely annihilate Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, I wouldn't even bat an eye.

I'd yawn, have my coffee, scratch my head a little, and then turn on the T.V. to watch the light show.

Wouldn't bother me a bit.

The people are immersed in a demonic religion that preaches horrendous violence against anyone who refuses to follow the 7th century, barbaric, moon-god-worshipping, death cult that they call a "religion".

Their violence is typically at homicidal levels, and they are almost pathologically cruel, vicious and barbaric. Their religion not only encourages all forms of barbarism, but actively instigates them to go out and spread their violence and mayhem amongst every other culture. Their religion and their culture is anathema to western democracy. It's like matter and anti-matter - they cannot exist in the same space.

Whether anyone wants to admit it, or not, right now, this is going to eventually come down to us vs. the Islamic world. It's gonna happen. There's no avoiding it.

Might as well be now, while our troops are there.
