Your response shows that you are unable to control your emotions and think rationally...

When you are able to.... ping me back.

In the meantime, I will thank God cooler heads will prevail in Washington.

I was instructed by Doug to put the images up at the NEIN site for the same reason - "people need to see what these murders did"

They are graphic and horrible. I think the still images are worse than a video personally.


Exactly, I still feel that there are a lot of people oblivious to what is going on. Hearing an account of it on TV is bad, don't get me wrong... The images though, they burn an image in your mind forever. People must know what we are fighting for and what we are trying to stop.

I appreciate the efforts of NEIN for trying to show everyone what we face.

It seems that we tend to do all the wrong things when dealing with Islamists... trying to be nice instead of making them pay the price.

I could not agree with you more. Many others have voiced similar views here today, but no one really seems to understand how to deal with these animals - excuse me, animal is far too elevated a description for what we are dealing with.

Let's give them 72 hours to get out of Mecca - then light up a mushroom cloud. Sorry about all you "peace loving" Moslems out there - but this is War.

The Saudi police can find the body within minutes but can't find a single terrorist.

Where we have failed most miserably is that we have not made it a national priority to find other sources of energy to support our way of life.

I would like to hear these words repeated by our leaders like a prayer at the beginning and ending of every legislative session, court session, press conference, investigative hearing, state funeral, town hall meeting, zoning board hearing etc., etc., etc. It's this cursed dependence on oil that has tied our hands in dealing with governments like Saudi Arabia, who are corrupt and repressive beyond redemption.

We can pay to wean ourselves off oil, or we can pay to control its sources militarily. I'd rather we could bring all Americans home from places like Saudi Arabia, and wish the Muslims happiness with their virgins, or raisins, or whatever in Paradise, because they weren't getting another penny from us. Because no matter how much we hate them for acts like this, they're still getting billions of dollars from us.

"Religion of Peace", Mr. President?

With respect, all these prayers we keep hearing over and over for the steady line of Americans that are being brutally butchered, are all nice and thoughtful and all.

However, I am just getting a little sick of seeing people sit around and saying prayers for butchered Americans, even though it's a thoughtful gesture.

My thoughts go back to Fallaha, when we pulled out, and allowed thousands of these terrorist animals live.

Does President Bush not think we are thinking about this?

At what point are we going to make a big statement, a statement that says, if you mess with us, or kill one more American, will kill *thousands* of you in retaliation? When are we going to send the message? Do we not need to show these people our anger through brutal strength?

Is this not the only thing they understand? Does President Bush not understand that many of us out here in the hinterlands have had a belly full of our people being butchered worse than animals?

How long are we expected to be compassionate and politically correct? What about the victims and their families?

In my opinion, America can not stand by and just continue to watch this without making a statement, and sending the message that needs to be sent.

Has the U.N. issued a "Strong Rebuke" yet?

The dating of the Islamic calendar begins when Mohamed and his followers fled Mecca for Medina - the flight is called the "Hijrah". It's currently the year 1425 AH (after the Hijrah) in the Islamic calendar.

It is a statement from AQ in Saudi Arabia, with 3 pictures of Paul Johnson after the beheading pasted on the bottom.

You're right. He's my only child and he was proud that he hung on until the police arrived while getting pounded on by a streetwise thug. I'm just glad that God blessed him and me so that he's alive to talk about it. I was holding onto my emotions until I heard that Paul Johnson was beheaded. Now I feel like a raging inferno ready to erupt with no place except FR to vent. I'M SO BLOODY ANGRY that if there were an islamic in front of me right now I could do some serious damage.

Everyone needs to see these. The media has a responsibility -- people need to see this so-called ROP for the absolute barbaric cult it is.

GWB will have lost my confidence if he does not avenge this death. It is so embarassing.

You think W is embarassing the US? Chris, what would Kerry do?

Now... the prisoners that they wanted in exchange for Mr. Johnson... their fellow Mujhadeen ... must forfeit their lives. Put them to death, today, publicly, SA. Or we will have more and more of headlines like this.
