Reported on FOX -- video sent to al Jazeera. The group claims the hostages have 3 days, if demands (unknown) are not met.
Systemic to what organism. Amplify please.
Allahu Fubar BTTT
Please see the post no.17. Terrorism cannot be warded off by tactical defensive measures. The strategic offensive measures are needed. When liberals ask to address "the root causes", I agree with them (only the root causes that I have in mind are quite different from theirs)
You may just be on to something.
Sounds like a plan.
Violence continues because most Iraqis are ill educated and want to have something to feel good about...power over their neighbor, a gun, blaming their own poverty and ignorance on America because that's what Saddam taught them. A Jazeera fans the flames, funded by area evil axis tyrants, who also train and send in 'insurgent terrorists' to commit mass mayhem and murder. Iraqis have an emotional age of maybe ten or eleven. They want instant gratification and somebody needs to pay in blood and pain for what they've done to their own country, for what Arabs have done to themselves since the ninth century. See excellent earlier reply to a post today...A Winston Churchill quote concerning the nature of Arabs. Maybe someone will recall who posted it. Right on the money. Arabs haven't changed a bit in all these years except for possibly growing more venal.
Level a few towns where they dance in the streets at the sight of blood.
It's not my decision, however I hope the decision makers have a keen sense of what the definition of "enough" is.
What strategic measures do you have in mind that we haven't already used or would not use?
Can you think of anything tactical?
Towns in Iraq or someplace else? Maybe Fallujah with 300,000?
Agreed. The islamo-fascists have decreed publicly that American civilians are a target and they proved it on Sept. 11th. If that's how they want to play it, fine. Collateral damage hell.
As if it hasn't been a part of "WAR" in the past!
I know this is a bit off topic but was wondering if anyone knows whatever happened to those French hostages?
Eliminate the very reason they do it in the first place.
Group agrees to free French hostages
DUBAI (Reuters) - An Islamist Web site said on Saturday it had received a message purportedly from an Iraqi group holding two French journalists hostage saying it had conditionally agreed to free them. The Web site said it could not authenticate the message.
Islam Memo Web site quoted the message from the Islamic Army In Iraq as saying that kidnapped French journalists Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot had "willingly agreed" to work for it to inform the West about the realities of the U.S.-led war and the "truth" about the Iraqi resistance.
"The Islamic Army in Iraq...has ended the imprisonment of two French journalists," the site quoted the statement as saying.
"They are now conducting their work in agreement with the Islamic Army and it was agreed (that) they work for the army to cover battles and attacks...for a limited period which has not been announced," the message was quoted as saying.
In Paris, a government spokesman said France was studying the message. "It is premature to say whether or not this statement is authentic. We are analysing it," the spokesman said.
France's objection to "Allawi's agent army" was one of the reasons for the group to agree to free the hostages, the message said.

It appears to be about time to accept the collateral damage and let Ala do the sorting.
Amen, or AHmen, whatever. We need to send these terrorist scum to meet their maker!
You can't stop everything, but you can easily stop someone blowing up a car-bomb and killing and wounding scores at a time.
Why does this continue to occur.
Because we're being to damned NICE! There is nothing P.C. about war, especially when it is against terrorists!
