Arabs are cowards? wow, thats new to me!
If you dont respect your enemy then you wont beat him!
Arabs are such cowards that thousands of them stayed and fought in Falluja even though they knew that the US army, the most powerful in history, was going to batter the place down to bedrock. Arab suicide bombers have struck the most devastating blows in recent years, and if killing yourself for a cause you beleive in is cowardice then id hate to know what a definition of bravery is.
Dont dismiss terrorists as cowards, just dismiss them as scum
A shortage of common sense and a surplus of testosterone is no substitute for courage. If it were we'd think of LA gangs as being courageous. We don't.
Hiding in a mosque is not courageous. Hiding in schools is not courageous. Evicting Iraqis from their homes to provide places of refuge for terrorists to hide is not courageous. Dressing as civilians in order to avoid becomgin a target- and in the act making it increasingly likely a real civilian will be mistaken for an insurgent is not courageous- that's just using one culture's humanitarian nature against them. Setting bombs beside a road to kill Iraqi civilians is not courageous. Taking hostages is not courageous. Making videos of decapitations in order to recruit for testosterone filled idiot jihadis is not courageous. Lopping off the heads of female humanitarian aide workers is not courageous. Hunting down the families of Iraqi guardsmen to 'punish' them for working with Americans is not courageous. Hanging Iraqis who don't embrace foreign arabs invading their city to impose Talibanlike Sharia law is not courageous.
The Arab interlopers in Fallujah aren't courageous. They're ignorant. Stupid makes them do things a well-informed person would never do no matter how courageous that person is. Most don't grasp what it's like to be on the receiving end of US weapons until they get trapped in a city and can't leave it because their own terrorist buddies will shoot them in the back or slit their throats just like they did any Iraqis who didn't take up arms alongside them.
Most are first-time wannabe foreign jihadis whose "courage" is no greater than that of a cornered animal- indeed, can't be called courage so much as desperation. They either die fighting or they just die.
Dying to accomplish nothing isn't courage- it's just stupid. Welcome to the Arab world. They die for nothing all the time. They've never had anything noble to fight for until now, and the noble ones aren't those holed up in fallujah- instead the noble ones are those who in spite of the terrorist's threats against their families are joining up to help bring their country to the point where they can have free elections. Those are the ones who have something to fight for. The insurgents are just unemployed scumbags who have nowhere to go- going home offers them nothing, Afghanistan is no longer a safe haven for them, and the Iraqis don't like them in Iraq either. The Baathists can no longer rule in Iraq and even they now know there are plenty of Iraqis who would like nothing more than to hoist them on a lightpole, and they have nowhere to go since Syria really doesn'tr want to tick us off right now.
The hotheads among them have piddled in their own pools so long they've turned their countries into cesspits. They are without hope now and have nothing to live for so they die, like wild rabbits do when you try to keep them in a cage.
The jihadis have been fed crap by their mullahs and some of it did have some roots in the truth- namely, our leadership's act of cowardice in retreating from Somalia and leaving it to al Qaeda and the warlords. They were told and they accepted the idea that we wouldn't fight them man-to-man, that we'd run away if they can kill some of us in front of a camera. They didn't come to fight in Fallujah because they had courage- they came to fight in Fallujah because they didn't have anywhere else to go and thought they could pull off another Somalia. They were recruited thinking they could kill a US soldier or two and go home, job done. For a while there Kerry and his kind gave them some hope to keep on fighting, but now they are stuck in an Iraqi city whose residents want them to leave so they can get on with their lives.
You sound like Bill Maher praising the bravery of the ba$tards who flew the planes into the WTC. Arabs are so ignorant, full of hatred, and brainwashed - THAT is why they stayed and fought. Your idea of bravery is skewed indeed.
"Arabs are cowards? wow, thats new to me!"
Ahem...as someone who spent a year dealing with these cowards...let me assure you that they are exactly that.
Cowardly is using ambulances...corpses and innocents to carry bombs to blow up your enemy.
Cowardly is hiding a 155mm artillery shell packed with plastic explosives under trash or under a dead animal and waiting until a convoy comes by and exploding it safely away from where the soldiers moght find you and kill you for your actions.
Lobbing mortars from the back of a donkey cart in the middle of the night at a bunch of soft sided tents then scurrying away like a roach is COWARDLY.
Don't try to morally equovicate what these cowardly insurgents are doing. And don't try to feed me or anyone else this BS about "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" either.
Fact of the matter is...90% of the insurgents in fallujah bugged out for safer areas when the Marines and Army showed up at the city limits. It takes a whole lot of guts to send out a taped message to those who stayed encouraging them to fight on while you're tucked safely away somewhere AWAY from the fighting. Very VERY brave of al-Zarquawi to do that don't ya think?
And speaking of cowardly...how chicken sh*t is it to kidnap innocent men and women and lop their heads off? Oh yeah! Brave Arabs indeed.
Your "Brave Arabs" BS and 35 cents wouldn't buy me a cup of coffee at Dunkin Doughnuts.
