Russians storm theater Captors were 'liquidated,' officials say By John Daniszewski and David Holley By John Daniszewski and David Holley Los Angeles Times
MOSCOW -- Police commandos armed with sleeping gas and blazing guns stormed a theater here early today and overcame Chechen separatists holding about 700 hostages. Authorities said they were forced to launch the rescue after rebels began to kill captives. The leader of the hostage-takers and around 30 of his companions were "liquidated," officials said. There was still no official word about the toll among the hostages. An Australian diplomat was told that the number was no more than 10, and that none of the estimated 75 foreigners were among the dead. But a police officers said he saw "a lot of corpses."

"...Oil is a blessing. This resource has fueled prosperity, health and enlightenment. Oil is a good thing. That's why it's so popular...Inshallah, baby....

Ah, wonderful.
More grand conspiracy theories, but no concrete examples on how YOU PERSONALLY have removed yourself from "life on the plantation" or why YOUR "little hiney" is NOT "sticking up in the air right next to John Muhammed's".
Come on, tell us! HOW can we free ourselves from the "oillah"? What are YOU doing to reduce your dependence on the oil-based economy?
I thought by now you'd at least have been imaginative enough to tell me that you were running your [petroleum based] computer using a bicycle-powered generator.

But not everybody that calls themselves Christians follow that rule.
And your point is?
What other "religion" than Islam teaches to kill others to spreads it's word? What "religion" other than Islam would not have had it's clerics outside that theatre last night in Russia screaming to those fools not to kill people?

....soldiers penetrated into the hall through special crawlways and shot the sleeping terrorists point-blank. Right at the temple. I agree that its cruel, but when you see a man with two kilograms of plastid strapped to the body, there is no other way to neutralize him. This wouldn't pass muster with the American P.C. Police but you have to admit that the guy has a valid point.
Trying to make prisoners out of suicidal fanatics left some Americans and many more Afghan allies dead in Afghanistan.

I have no idea if this "Sebastian" is a reliable source, but I pulled this off the same moscow news forum on which the, so far. reliable "Sergei Roy" has
reported.
.....Off course I am very releaved the crisis is over, and my heart goes out to everyone
involved.
The facts: This morning the russian government filled the theatre with a nerve gas or
substance to knock out everybody inside, instantly killing about 60 hostages and some
hostage takers. In the minutes following this attack, special forces killed the rest of the
hostage takers and freed the remaining hostages, of whom 75% are now hospitalized,
suffering from the effects of the attack, some in critical condition. The whereabouts of miss
Natasja Sjirov are still unknown, but Dimitri Sjirov, her 14 year old sun, is in hospital nr. 38.
Dutch TV is showing pictures of the search of mister Alex Sjirov for his wife and a doctor
explaining 350 patients are suffering from the effects of nerve gas. The number of
casualties among the hostages is 70 but rising.

You are right about what environazis are doing to our agriculture ... and they are useful idiots. I do not agree that the oil companies per sey have funded them. They are being funded through NGO's from the UN and through very rich socio-marxists/fascists amongst us, some of whom may well be investors or otherwose involved in those and other corporations.
If we did what I proposed on the oil ... particularly exploiting our own, developing the alternatives and taing k the oil from those nations who attack us or abett and harbor those who do ... you would see western Europe following suite and you would see the Japanese and other Asian powers looking to us and elsewhere themselves.
I believe the ROW can stiff the Arabs ... and should. Why if we alone did it, those Arab nations would get the picture and come to us and others on bended knee. We then dictate the terms to them ... which include ridding them of their fundemantal/radical propblem. The choice for them at that point is simple ... either do so or :
1) Go Bankrupt>
2) Be defeated if you side with your radical/fundamental influences and attack us in any way or abett anyone who deos.

"... When is the World going to get its head out of it's tailpipe..." Death to the oillah-based economy!!!
Very interesting metaphor Mind...Both integral to terrorist discussion... Political Correctness, dancing around the issue of the Islamo-fascist dogma *is suicide* and dumping $$ into those regimes which in turn augments the islamonazi philosophy is a lose-lose situation.

"...I do not agree that the oil companies per sey have funded them. They are being funded through NGO's from the UN and through very rich socio-marxists/fascists amongst us..Ah yes, but from whom are the darling "NGO's" getting their spending money?
We have congressional investigations into the practices of Publisher's Clearing House; into the practices of cigarrette manufacuturers; into the sexual habit of whales and African women. But somehow we never quite get around to really following the money.
Odd, isn't it, for this Great Bastion of Capitalist Freedom?

I read on Lenta.ru in the wee hours that hundreds were hospitalized from the effects of the gas used.
Thanks for your post.

So grateful for the the minimal loss of life; indeed, everyone had feared many more innocent lives cut off. May the free governments always combat terrorists in a swift and powerful manner like the Russians did this time.

The history of "NGO" involvement in the destruction of Yugoslavia and the rise of mohammedan mini-states out of the rubble would be a very interesting tale indeed. Do you think it will ever be written? I don't.

They'd gang rape Ms. Sarandon first. And they wouldn't waste so many bullets on her when they could apply the "personal" touch with a knife or fists. But she's one of Lenin's "useful idiots", so she'll never learn.

The problem at it's root is the nature of Arab culture/history/language. Islam is an Arab religion and it carried Arab concepts into the other cultures it conquered or converted. Arab culture at it's base is about self-delusion and facades. The language itself is dominated by gross exaggerations even in every day communications. And that language is the big requirement of becoming a Muslim. So it spreads the flaws of Arab culture into every new believer -- be it Turk, Mongol, Slav, African, Indian, Indonesian, or Westerner.
Arab culture is incapable of true self improvement or learning. It is still a parasitical culture of desert raiders at it's core. And that attitude infects most non-Arab followers.
Add in the vision of Islam as the highest possible human society (shades of Marxism) and we find that Muslims are incapable, as a group, of ever learning from events or other cultures. In the end, they are only barbarians looting, raping and pillaging others -- others who are total mysteries to the barbarians.

Imagine, writing polite, earnest letters to these figureheads.....Therein lies the problem, obviously nice polite letters are getting no results. Nasty, "I'm really, really POed now and not going to take anymore" letters are what is needed to get their attention coupled with loud, raucous mobs outside of statehouses and various government agencies and most of all cutting of the money with more nasty letters explainig why.

Doctors who have examined the bodies of dead terrorists are saying that there are numerous syringe punctures on their bodies. Drug addicts, most of them.or maybe some kind Ebola, smallpox, or other viral innoculation, Muscovites to start dropping like flies within a week.
