Fallujah leaders condemn gruesome murders amid US threats of revenge

I think it's high time to bomb and destroy Al-Jazerra's studios and satellite offices.

[eureka!]

Well said, especially on the political cost to the area's 'leaders' with the upcoming transition. This area will be on the sh*tlist for the new administration. I was also surprised by the strength, make that foreboding sound, of the comments from the military and W on this. Methinks the malefactors will regret their day in the sun and seeming adoration and Mogadishu agitprop by the leftist press...

Thank you for sharing. I also have an opinion:

If you reward animalistic behavior because you are "above it" you can expect more of the same. There is a time and a place for everything.

I believe you are wrong.

[hgro]

The first priority of the Imams who have been preaching hate is to round up all of those participants in the killings and mutilations and hang them.

[Valin]

Who said anything about rewarding this act?

[Publius6961]

Who said anything about rewarding this act?

Let's parse words: You ridicule Tammy Bruce's suggestions, without presenting an alternative means to punish the barbarity. This might lead the reasonable person to conclude that doing nothing is your solution of choice.

Doing nothing is a form of reward.
See? It's not rocket science.

"Replaying scenes from Fallujah, US televisions noted the similarities with the abuse meted out to the corpses of American soldiers killed in Somalia in 1993..."

It wasn't our TV sets "noting" this. It was our Rat-voting defeatist media "noting" this. Zogby comes to mind immediately. It's the media that's hoping for a Tet offensive, not the TV.

Let's hear it for evasive anthropomorphism.

Notice fallujah city fathers decry the "way the corpses were defiled" and NOT the KILLING itself?

Iraqi officials condemned the killings... and the desecration.

fallujans know these perps.
heads or hydes by special delivery or we are coming in to get them. any mosque or citizen aiding or abetting the desecrators or killers.... will be shot on the spot.

AND their families, extended, AND their mosque, AND their imam and HIS family...

That should give us a body bag count of about.. 1500-2500...
end of THIS op... end of fallujah's "terror leadership".

First Marine Division is getting ready for cordon and search operations along the lines of the MOUT exercises at Quantico.

---

got a brief description of that kind of operation for us uninformed and ignorant ones?


M. O. U. T.?

[myself6]

If your PC can handle it, download "Americas Army" (developed and distributed by the US army) and play the MOUT Mckenna level. That should give you some idea what MOUT is all about.


You will need at least:

1 ghz CPU
256 M ram
good video card ( no less than 64M video ram) I use the radeon 9800 128M video card (it rocks!)
broadband connection is not necessary but recommended.

AS Major Bob said this morning, there must be Iraqi policeman (backed up by US forces) going house to house, interviewing the town leaders & tribal heads for the identities of the perps. He said they have to be area policeman, to make the point to the Fallujah people, that this will not be tolerated. (Unsaid, that these policeman would mete out their own form of barbaric punishment).
Major Bob also stated that if things are not handled this way, it would be the second largest mistake made in Iraq.

[GigaDittos]

Yes, they CONDEMNED the murders before they CHEERED for them. Fullujahians for Kerry.

[eureka!]

Absolutely. Work to end the "occupation" mentality. In time, self governance will take total hold...

[RightWhale]

Apparently the murders were okay, but the mutilation was not.

[Broadside Joe]

Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT).

[Robert_Paulson2]

thanks joe.
NOW it makes makes sense to me.

mout them out!
(like the old laundry DETERgent... Shout!)

[Robert_Paulson2]

get help RW....
you and I are thinking alike... see post 88.

rofl.
Since we know how THEY think.
I am concerned about staying sane.

[cmak9]

They leave us wondering whether there are ideas on earth which cannot claim the protection of tolerance and democratic space.

I don't wonder any more. Islam will have to go one day.

If there was a mistake made it was in not following the guidelines of Machiavelli's The Prince. Tyranny 101: if one is ruthless in the beginning, then one can become benevolent and be much loved. If one is benevolent in the beginning that won't be seen as benevolence but as weakness, and if one has to become ruthless after being benevolent one is seen as despotic.
