Looks like a pretty good conclusion

[Diddle E. Squat]

Still finding unexploded bombs in and around the building.

I'm thinkin' they never saw Allah.....didn't pass go....didn't collect $200 or virgins....

[Cold Heat]

I don't see that the Ruskies had any choice in the matter. I would say that the mission was a success. I feel for the innocent families. I hope this might help change the Russian tone at the U.N.

[Diddle E. Squat]

I agree.

[MJY1288]

I agree with you. To most... this is as clear as a bell, so clear, that even Ray Charles could see what is going on here. We have at least 40 reports this year alone of some kind of horrific act carried out by these Radical Islamic terrorists and still we see the lamestream media running from the simple truth that we are at WAR with a radical form of religion that needs to be removed and eliminated from the face of the Earth

Agreed

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Your today's winner for sure.

It seems like in every major event one Freeper (at least) nails the situation dead on. It may be simply law of averages: We pretty much cover every possible angle of an event on our threads, so one of us has to be right.

But I'd hope it was more Stonewall Jackson and less U.S. Grant ;}

I thinking I've still 3 or 4 years. Job scene interesting here when the econ is good. ALso waiting for the wife to get through NYU B school.

I could be wrong about the 3 to 4 years though.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Virginless in Hell.

Oh, the horror of it all.

[mikegi]

According to news reports the hostages started trying to escape before the rescue so the terrorists had time to spray them with bullets. Considering the viciousness of the terrorists I think an 86% survival rate is a success.

[Cold Heat]

I don't know enough about their tactics. Low velocity hollows(as you said) would be effective in the torso kill zone and would not go thru and thru. The collateral damage would be prevented that way.

[fooman]

pc kills.

[MarMema]

Lenta.ru says still strong smell of gas in theatre and lots of hostages had to be carried out because of the gas...

My quote of the day --- from BBC/Russian

"Some insurgents managed to be taken alive"

[ET(end tyranny)]

Considering the viciousness of the terrorists I think an 86% survival rate is a success.

Agreed. Considering how things stood yesterday, this crisis, turned out a lot more favorable than most of us thought it would.

[fooman]

Yeah that my thinking too. They are counting the terrorists as part of the 130.

"I could be wrong about the 3 to 4 years though."

I have a fatalistic friend that says if its your time to go...its your time to go.

I dont necessarily agree...

For me though...I'll never visit New York City again. Or New England...upwind.

"I could be wrong about the 3 to 4 years though."

Good luck to you and yours. If it gets to bad, come down here and help me man this compound.

[ladyinred]

Great news!

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thanks for starting this thread. And thanks to ALL who have been praying for this to end. And thank God that it ended better than we all thought.

Good night, all!!!!!

[fire and forget]

Thanks for the heads up. If true, this bunch of muslims was comprised of more cowardly sorts than I first guessed. Trust Russian justice to give them the end they really deserve. :)
