Herald Sun (AU) ^ | 07 Apr 04 | Staff

US marines pressing an offensive in this Iraqi town west of Baghdad bombed a mosque in the center of the town Wednesday and killed up to 40 insurgents inside, a marine officer said.

The attack came from a jet aircraft at a high angle to minimize the impact, the officer said.

"We wanted to kill the people inside," said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne.

Time to cue the "virgins".

LOL. After post #104, the first time I read that I thought it said 'cure' instead of 'cue'.

FALLUJAH, Iraq (AP) - Witnesses in Fallujah say as many as 40 people are dead after U.S. forces apparently struck a mosque filled with people enemy combatants shooting at US troops in battle.

Dear AP--You don't have to thank me for the correction.

Sounds like a new R.O.E. has been put in place. If so, and if it holds against determined assault by RATS and the western media, then the long-standing tactics of radical Islam (using our own weakness against us) may not serve them so well in the future.

Karen held her own against his interruptions and his continual videos of Clarke/Kerry putdowns. He lost his cool; she did not. I've never seen him show his true colors (of the Dem jackass) so blatantly.

I am having a terrible dilemma here,,who do I despise the most, the terrorists or the democrats? I just can't decide, it is so close.

I don't have any problem, they're pretty much one and the same to me. Only their tactics are different.

Mosque hit by bomb, as many as 40 worshippers killed.

Who said they were worshippers? The article said they were insurgents.

That's some "religion of peace"...one that hides its warriors in mosques. Even if Islam has been hijacked...I hear no complaints from any Muslims, anywhere. Their true colors are shining through.

Huge compliments to the people that gave the go ahead to take out the mosque. They will be skewered here and abroad. Screw 'em.

They have burning Orthodox churches in Kosovo like a California wildfire...churches are burned by Moslems worldwide.It is just a matter of time till they hit American churches.

Absolutely right, as I said in post 166.

Islamists have already destroyed great treasures of Christianity in Kosovo. They have already bombed an ancient synagogue in Tunisia, and another in Turkey. There will be more bombings of Western churches and temples, whether we hit their terrorist-filled mosques or not.

Thanks for the ping ...

We bombed Monte Cassino to destroy the Germans using it as a refuge and redoubt. The arab and leftist press will play this up as an attack against Islam. We need to destroy the enemy regardless. Maybe the bad guys will stop using the mosques as safe houses once they find out that they can be attacked.

Wouldn't it be great to put a synagogue there in particular - and have it sponsored by Israel - that oughta get the Moslems and the liberals in a twist.

I wonder if King was as confrontational with Clarke and Kennedy as he was with Karen Hughes.(I jest)

He played clips of their accusations and Kerry's,then ask why we attacked Clarke and were so critical of Clarke..I am accustomed to King lobbing softballs or just letting a guest talk.He stopped short of accusing Karen of mass murder.

Despise them both at the same time; it's more balanced and it gives me the warm fuzzies all day long.
