The Tree of Liberty is being watered once again by the blood of heroes.

"Asked why the coalition has not bombed Baghdad's television station, whereby the regime can communicate with its citizens, the defense secretary said Saddam has placed civilians around the facilities."

It's too bad they weren't blessed with cable. Time-Warner would have gone black days ago with the rumble of the first missile strike.

Paramilitary = fedayeen = Syrians, Egyptians, Saudis, Somalis, Sudanese and other assorted Muslim misfits.

As the war for Iraq is winding down, the conflict with miltant Islam is merely beginning.

WHY do they continue to refer to these murders as executions???? An execution is a punishment delivered by a recognized government after a trial in accordance with an establlished code of laws.

These heros were murdered in violation of the Geneva Convention. The only possible "Codes" their murderers were following were fundamentalist Islamic ones.
