VIDEO: DEATH TO PEACE ACTIVISTS IF DEMANDS NOT MET
Kidnappers Threaten to Kill Iraq Activists
Dec 02 3:52 PM US/Eastern
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Al-Jazeera television broadcast a videotape Friday in which kidnappers of four Christian peace activists threatened to kill their hostages unless all prisoners in U.S. and Iraqi detention centers are released. The kidnappers gave the two governments until Dec. 8 to meet their demands, Al-Jazeera quoted a statement delivered with the tape as saying.
The tape showed what the broadcaster said were two Canadian hostages. An American and a Briton are also being held. All four appeared frightened.
The Canadians were shown eating from plates of what appeared to be Arabic sweets. In a second clip, the British and American hostages were shown to talking to the camera but no audio was transmitted.
The two were calling on the U.S. and British governments to withdraw from Iraq, Al-Jazeera reported, quoting a statement from the kidnappers, who earlier identified themselves as the Swords of Righteousness Brigade
Bummer. Guess the peace-in idea did not work with the religon of peace.
They demand......A SHRUBBERY!
Swap them for Ramsey Clark.
I have to agree! I don't want them to die, however, it could serve the "greater good" for liberals to see what animals we are dealing with.
I've said before, I say again, the President of the US should halt this mantra of "bring these people to justice." They don't need to be captured, and tried in some courtroom. They need to be, as General Patton pointed out so clearly in WW II, to be killed as efficiently as possible, until the survivors decide to stop fighting.
That is the ONLY correct response to this barbaric behavior. As Lawrence of Arabia said as he was leading the assault on Damascus, in the movie of the same name, "No prisoners!"

Lay down your arms, infidel crusader armies! Accept the way of submission, abandon your satanic addictions; booze, naked women, and rock music! Bow down to Mecca five times a day and believe in your soul of souls that there is no God but Allah and Mohammed (peace be upon him) is his prophet! Re-establish the Caliphate and pledge your lives to extend its enlightened rule over the entire globe! Or, give us twenty million dollars; small bills, non-sequential if you please."
These "peace activists" are in about as much danger as Osama bin Laden.
I guess singing Kumbayah just didn't seem to cut it...
I feel sorry for the folks, but they chose to go there.
Better luck next time, peace activists.
It sucks, but you will be dead soon. Perhaps others will not be so hasty to run into danger.
I wonder if the terrorists will cut and run?
Bush let those peace activists in without any flowers to put in the end of rifles or one single really cool peace activists song to sing. Something like "all we are saying is give infidels a chance". Nope, not one peace activists song and I hear that even Rumsfield said that they were not given the proper tie dyed shirts. They had to buy their own because they could nt be silk screened fast enough.
I'm afraid that this will lead to us withdrawing our peace activists too early and that may put the whole contry in chaos.....
"DO NONE OF YOU CARE ABOUT THE POOR SHAD?!?"
Back in the mid 70's, the National Lampoon had a "Hate the Dutch" issue. It was hilarious of course, and I remember the following bit of doggerel:
Roses are Red
Tulips are Bad
I hope Prince Bernhardt
Chokes on a SHAD
The very fact that the quatrain has been deeply buried in my psyche all these years PROVES that I care about the shad!
"Team America" style?
Ah. Someone cares.
"These hostages are NOT infidels. Therefore, they shall NOT be harmed."
Hey PEACE with with them.
