Open Letter to Al-Qa'ida

Federalist Patriort Alert ^ | 6/30/04 | A Marine officer

[Homer_J_Simpson]

From a Marine officer on the Iraqi warfront with Jihadistan...

(This is an open letter to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, "Islamic Response," and the rest of the so-called al-Qa'ida "insurgents" in Iraq and elsewhere. We don't have an e-mail address for these swine -- though we are closing in on their snail-mail address, but we are forwarding this letter to Federalist Patriots around the world in the hope you good people will forward it to as many other Patriots as possible to rally prayer and support for our fellow Marine, Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun. Should these al-Qa'ida pigs spill his blood, we want them to rest assured that the contents of this letter will eventually be nailed to their foreheads. Thank you for your assistance.)

To al-Qa'ida terrorists in Iraq:

I see that you have captured a U.S. Marine, and that you plan to cut off his head if your demands are not met. Big mistake. Before you carry out your threat I suggest you read up on Marine Corps history. The Japanese tried the same thing on Makin Island and in a few other places during World War Two, and came to regret it. Go ahead and read about what then happened to the mighty Imperial Army on Tarawa, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. They paid full price for what they did, and you will too.

You look at America and you see a soft target, and to a large extent you are right. Our country is filled with a lot of spoiled children who drive BMWs, sip decaf lattes and watch ridiculous reality TV shows. They are for the most part decent, hard working citizens, but they are soft. When you cut off Nick Berg's head those people gasped, and you got the media coverage you sought, and then those people went back to their lives. This time it is different. We also have a warrior culture in this country, and they are called Marines. It is a brotherhood forged in the fire of many wars, and the bond between us is stronger than blood. While it is true that this country has produced nitwits like John Kerry, Michael Moore, Howard Dean and Jane Fonda who can be easily manipulated by your gruesome tactics, we have also produced men like Jason Dunham, Brian Chontosh and Joseph Perez. If you don't recognize those names you should. They are all Marines who distinguished themselves fighting to liberate Iraq, and there will be many more just like them coming for you.

Before the current politically correct climate enveloped our culture one of the recruiting slogans of our band of brothers was "The Marine Corps Builds Men." You will soon find out just how true that is. You, on the other hand, are nothing but a bunch of women. If you were men you would show your faces, and take us on in a fair fight. Instead, you are cowards who hide behind masks and decapitate helpless victims. If you truly represented the interest of the Iraqi people you would not be ambushing those who come to your country to repair your power plants, or sabotage the oil pipelines which fuel the Iraqi economy. Your agenda is hate, plain and simple.

When you raise that sword over your head I want you to remember one thing. Corporal Wassef Ali Hassoun is not alone as he kneels before you. Every Marine who has ever worn the uniform is there with him, and when you strike him you are striking all of us. If you think the Marines were tough on you when they were cleaning out Fallujah a few weeks ago you haven't seen anything yet. If you want to know what it feels like to have the Wrath of God called down upon you then go ahead and do it. We are not Turkish truck drivers, or Pakistani laborers, or independent contractors hoping to find work in your country. We are the United States Marines, and we will be coming for you.

I got this by email from Federalist.com. I assume it is legit.

I found it surprisingly moving. Let me just say I have no desire to acquire a BMW any time in the future.

BUMP!

I have a question about this letter in reference to a deserter - without mentioning the deserter status.

I would have believed this letter if it stated that the Marines would take revenge even against a misguided mulsim deserter.

Right now _ I neither believe nor disbelieve - just waiting for verification.

You [terrorists], on the other hand, are nothing but a bunch of women.

False characterization. Women - real ones, at least - are worthy of respect and even reverence. Islamists/terrorists are worthy of contempt and deserving of death.

Being retired navy, I have run across a many of them there "JarHeads"..! Yes I said it.. Not in a bad way, but yet in a way of respect! I for one will say... Those are a bunch of good people..!! Beer Drinkers..! Just all around good..!! BUT... Let you hurt one of them and Stand BY..!

OR... Disrespect them. OMG.. *duck*.. SO Yes, I honestly want to see the Force unleashed from the Marines!! I want to see them in action and defending their brother!

I had similar thoughts. A possibility is that the letter was sent out before the deserter factor came up. (BTW, has that information been confirmed? I heard on the radio news this morning that he was traumatized by witnessing the death of his sergeant and was high tailing it home to Lebanon. I give the benefit of the doubt to a marine over ABC news any day.) Also, The Federalist doesn't normally circulate unverified internet fantasies.

And God bless you for your service.

I think the deserter status is moot point, as he had a Marine ID card...that is enough for the Marines, they will not let their name be defiled by the terrorists.

I still do not think he was deserter, that status would have been placed on him when he could not be found, and if he had said any such nonsense about wanting to go home it could have been misconstrued when he turned up missing. We will have to wait and see the outcome of his status.

I believe we have more to find out about this case.
Prayers are continued for his life and the three turks. Prayers are continued for destruction of Al Quada terrorists.
