Attack on Americans Should Doom Palestinian Terrorists
The Detroit News ^ | October 16, 2003 | Staff Editorial

The three-year conflict between Israel and the Palestinians had previously killed 49 Americans, most with dual citizenship, and all in random attacks. Wednesday's bombing that killed three U.S. diplomats in Gaza was the first time Americans were intentionally targeted.

Until now, the most notable American death was that of Rachel Corrie, an activist killed March 16 when she placed herself in front of an Israeli bulldozer destroying the home of a terrorist in Gaza.

On Wednesday, however, they escalated their campaign and invited their destruction.

Let's just keep on spending $95 billions+ to get those mooslims to like us and stop blowin us up.

Meantime, our "arch-friend" the Chinese are spending their billions to colonize the planets and build fancy weapons that shoot down our shuttle without a clue.

Boy are we in deep doo doo.

This editorial's writers are clueless. US diplomats have been murdered by Islaminazi terrorists several times in the past couple of decades, with minimal consequences to their handlers.

On the other hand, with the current administration, they may finally have to pay a price. One can hope, anyway...
so, clueless or not, the encourgagement from these usually spineless journalists is welcome.

Did you hear Col Hunt on FOX this morning saying that the US should let the Israeli's take the gloves off?

I agree with you about the Chinese, especially after reading Bill Gertz's book about them.

However, I think the money is also well spent fighting terrorism. WMD in their hands would be disastrous and considering that 9/11 cost our economy a minimum of $500 billion, that money to rebuild Afghanistan and Iraq is peanuts.

It will be interesting to see our reaction to yesterday's bombing. They certainly don't seem to understand just who they're fooling with.

Wow! I didn't know the Chinese had a foam insulation gun capable of knocking tiles off the shuttle.
They must have used Great Wall of China Mart profits to build it.

I didn't hear that and certainly wish we'd let the Israelis take the gloves off.

Just finished reading one of my first fictional books in a while - Vince Flynn's Executive Power. It details our relationship with Israel and how we give them so much money to boost their sagging economy that they pretty much do as we say with regard to the Palestinian problem. Don't know the truth of what's in the book - but it's an interesting read.

killed 49 Americans, most with dual citizenship,

That is a totally fabricated "fact". I follow this stuff closely, and nowhere at any time have I seen a tabulation of the actual citizenship status of the murdered Americans. Many of them, I know for a fact, were simply American Jews visiting Israel. The number of dual citizens is actually tiny.

Why fabricate this?

Col Hunt is a smart man. I think our government should take his advice.

Attacking diplomats ANYWHERE on the planet is an act of war. Let's treat it like that.

Question: What's the smallest thing in the universe?

Answer: Arafart's a$$hole after some of his loose cannons killed three U.S. diplomats.

I can just hear him on his cell phone... "Hello, Allah be praised, ...Yes?...Give me your report... uh-huh...yes...ok... WAIT!...you did WHAT??? Oh Allah help us now... bend over and kiss it goodbye."

But not linked to Palestinians. The writer is correct; this should be a turning point. The nutsoids crossed the line.
