Coalition battling Fedayeen and "MYSTERY" forces
Bob Arnot, MSNBC

Posted on 04/07/2003 11:46:52 PM PDT by GLDNGUN

Bob Arnot, currently reporting live on MSNBC says Coalition forces at his location are battling the Fedayeen and a group he said he WAS NOT ALLOWED TO IDENTIFY. Al Qaeda? Any other guesses? He did indicate that these are highly skilled fighters, especially in regards to sniping.

Forgot them.

Nahhhhhhh

They can't shoot straight--especially a gun.

All they can do is spit and whine and fart out the top very hot, stinky, useless, oxygen-less 'air.'

But they can sure undermine the Republic going and coming.

They're referencing the young "Brownshirts" Saddam has brainwashed into young terrorists.

Al Qaeda Rouge by John LeBoutillier

Excerpt:

But this 'recruiting and training technique' was not unique to Pol Pot. In Romania, Nicolai Ceauscescu ran what was seen by President Nixon as a 'moderate communist' regime. In fact, this bastard tuned out to be yet another of history's worst killers and torturers. After his well-deserved execution on Christmas Day 1989, the truth began to emerge. Orphaned boys had been recruited from orphanages and turned into members of a Secret Police force totally loyal to the dictator and his family - and no one else.

This force of thugs performed hideous acts of killing, torture and sadism throughout Romania. Torture chambers were even found in the president's basement!

During the Gulf War it was learned that Saddam Hussein has created a unique 'force' with total loyalty to him. Serving as bodyguards and 'special agents', this is a team of men - guess what? - recruited from orphaned boys at young ages and trained to have absolute loyalty to one and only one 'father' - Saddam Hussein.

These Saddam-fanatics carry out the brutal subjugation of the Iraqi people. Killings, torture, rape - indiscriminate killings - are all part of the plan.

If you carefully read enough about Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda organization, you will read that they regularly visited Afghan orphanages in Kabul and 'recruited' 10-year-old boys. These new 'recruits' were blindfolded and taken off to training camps up in the Afghan mountains and caves. There they were 'indoctrinated' - we would call it brainwashed - to "Hate America" - even though these boys had never even heard of it!

Through the course of months of harsh training, the boys were turned into killing machines or - to use the term of the day - terrorists.

Torture techniques were practiced, killing methods taught - and, all the while, the brains and souls of these 'recruits' were carefully and methodically 'turned' into fanatical killing machines who, under certain circumstances, were even willing to die for a cause they did not understand.

Pol Pot, Nicolai Ceauscescu, Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden all have used the same handbook on training sociopathic killers. And all have used these robotic minions to cause unspeakable misery to their people - and to others.

The deal is that Bush & Co. do not want to be known as killing "soldiers" ages 14 and under. Hence the cryptic reference here.

He mentioned they have seen Syrian, Saudi, Jordanian and Sudanese "volunteers" as well.

He also stopped a marine who was running in the middle of the battle to interview, which really ticked me off.

1. Mujahadeen al-Khalq (anti-Iranian govt. group).

2. Palestinian Liberation Front or other pallie group.

3. Some agglomeration of jihadis.

Don't know much about the history of the Foreign Legion, do we?

Run a search on "Camerone."

You are probably more right.

Though I'm not sure how many of them are great shots.
