That's why Sharon might well be charged

You notice that Muslim Arabs don't really object to Saddam Hussein spraying Sunni Muslim Kurds with chemicals. No outcry from Arabs for a homeland for the Kurds. Thousands of them have been killed by their fellow Muslims.

Bump for later

If Robert Fisk says it, it must be true.

You're lucky. All I got was the old hourglass and frozen screen. And I'm on DSL!

I didn't think it was coming up at first (also DSL) and then it was there - when I saw a foot holding that man's held down and him crying/begging and something being placed on his neck (I guess to cut) - that was it - I stopped it got out of there. I'll have my spouse check it out of he wants to - he has a stronger stomach for these things than I do. I saw enough to despise those people more than ever. I am printing out the "link" to give to anyone who tells me Islam is a peaceful religion too.

[GussiedUp]

It's just human sacrifice. What's the big deal?

That is the most cold-hearted thing I believe I have ever seen written.

If someone will print Helen Thomas' email address here - I'll be glad to send her the link.

Unfortunately, it was in the best interests of the administration to embrace Islam as a peaceful religion. The alternative would be to declare war on all 1.4 billion around the globe. One thing I have noticed during the prosecution of the war is how quiet the Arab "street" has been since we released hell. It reminds me of Desert Storm when we turned Soviet armor (sold to Iraq) into scrap heaps and made quick work of their air defense - the Russians were awfully quiet then too.

That was horrible. No mercy for these f***ers.

[NC_Libertarian]

I really wish I hadn't seen that either.

[FITZ]

same Robert Fisk who said he could sympathize with the mob of Afgans who nearly kicked his brains out recently

Maybe next time they'll cut off his head. Then we'll see how he feels about them.

Killing is killing. Pain is pain. It is not less gruesome for the victim, just because the killer doesn't have to see it.

First and foremost our soldiers do not enjoy killing people, no matter what certain members of the press would have you believe. I was an American soldier both active and reserves, both at home and overseas, I know and you don't. We hate killing. We know verry well what consequences our actions have, but we will defend this country and it's people, even you, no matter what. For you to put any moral equivelancy between the actions of those animals and our soldiers is disgusting at best.

Second, and I can not stress this enough, WE DID NOT START THIS. It is not our fault our soldiers have been put into the position of having to kill these people. I know some in the press and certain other "activists" would have you believe that certain actions in our foreign policy have driven them to attack our innocent civians, but this is simply not true. It has been stated better before than I can possibly express here. We do not target civians. We did not start war. We do not kill for pleasure.

It has been the U.S. throught our history who protects the inocent. It is the U.S. who has rebuilt and protected even our vanquished foes. We free the oppresed, succle the starving. In every war the we have fought we have strived to act with compassion for our enemies, after we have defeated them, and we did not need any Geneva Convention to guide us.

They should nuke the whole country

There aren't enough nukes to do the job. What's Plan B?

[Musket]

Well said Sir. Thank you.

I hope copies of the tapes that have been taken from Tora Bora and elsewhere in Afghanistan are spread far and wide so that the apologists will SHUT THE F--- UP ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!!! It's one thing to hear about what goes on..... .but quite another to SEE it. That clip is the most disturbing thing I've ever seen-aside from 9-11.

There is no peace or goodness in Islam. It MUST be destroyed.

[Mr. K]

great post- the only thing I would add is that we also do NOT kill civilians on purpose and then thank God for it...!!!

[GussiedUp]

My God, that was horrific, I wish curiosity hadn't got the best of me

AFter reading your, and others posts, I am glad I stopped at the very beginning. My husband watched it (with me out of the room). He spent 23 years in the S.F. so he has seen stuff that prepared him I guess

[GussiedUp]

Well darn said my friend!!! Semper Fi!!

[Sgt_Schultze]

The amazing fact is that all the killing is done in the name of their god Allah. The murders are done to honor him. I'm sure my religion recognizes the same powerful being. One so capable and knowing that such destruction and depravity could only be done in his name. Of course I speak of the power of Satan, the only one so evil that such deeds would come to as honor. These muslims are no more than satan worshippers. The best thing that can be said of them is they will surely reap their just rewards for all eternity.
