A video posted Monday on a Web site showed the beheading of a man identified as American construction contractor Eugene Armstrong, a killing purportedly carried out personally by key terror suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

The fact of the matter is, we on FR said "Nuke Mecca" or "Nuke Fallujah" when the very first of this nonsense started about a year ago.
Fact is, unfortunately, this is only one of the first few of what will be hundreds and hundreds of beheadings of Westerners in Iraq and the middle east, before the US government can do anything about it, handcuffed by political correctness that agitates against leveling a town or village in response. Yes, there will be many more beheadings by Islamofascists, and many more threads of outrage on FR for the next months and years to come. Sad.
Well, two well placed bombs in 1945 sure brought the Japanese to their senses real fast.
I would evacuate the citizens first then level Falujah.
We're not fighting the people of Iraq.
No, thanks. We weren't allowed to evacuate our citizens from the World Trade Center before it was flattened by terrorists.
what about going in to every muslim country; taking out the govt and setting up a military state .
then converting as many of them as possible to christianity.
filthy savages could use some bible lessons
correction: you wouldn't be foolish enough to do what you advocate here. You'd find a better way.
"No, thanks. We weren't allowed to evacuate our citizens from the World Trade Center before it was flattened by terrorists."
I was just about to post the exact same thing, you read my mind.
Nagasaki. Hiroshima. Dresden.
There's no other way to win this than to be more brutal than the enemy. Sorry, your kerry-esque 'lets play nice' BS isn't going to cut it.
I am one of the people who feels bad about hiroshima. IT was sad that the japanese would not take "back off" for an answer. It truly was. they were idiots to tangle with the US.
Bataan Death March. Rape of Nanking.
You can not do that, too many innocents in Iraq, but you can take out Fallujah, there are NO innocents there. Many Freepers were besides themselves wqhen the Marines were ordered to retreat Fallujah and predicted exactly what we now see. A city that stands defiant to the USA and a haven for terrorists. Of course the kool-aid drinkers will never admit how wrong they were in supporting appeasing terrorists by withdrawing the Marines and letting Fallujah "police" Fallujah.
USA was taking bad press in the assault on Fallujah now the terrorists are taking bad press so I guess the PC crowd is happy. I'm not, I don't like seeing Americans (or Italians, or Britons, or Poles, or Russians) beheaded at no cost what so ever to the terrorists.
What in the WORLD would that achieve? Cripes. Are buildings our enemy? Are roads and schools and utility plants beheading infidels?
A tiny percentage of the "residents" of Fallujah, of Iraq, of the Muslim world are Islamist butchers. It's a brand new enemy dynamic.
It boggles my mind that Freepers can't understand the unique nature of our enemy, the subtelty of our war, and our progressively successful strategy. Irks me mightily.
Thanks, but no thanks. I've watched all of the other videos, and that's enough. I'll have my husband watch it if he wants to. Everytime that I hear of another sawed off head innocent victim, my heart races, I shake, and I feel my blood pressure go up. That's the truth.
I get so mad when I watch all the videos, and I watch them all!! I yell at the screen...
Perhaps but we certainly are fighting the people of Fallajah.
I was having a good day today.
