.... and it could all be done so quietly.... Use indig, pay themn well, give them good medical care for themselves and family... but explain to them the personal cost of failure....

Not difficult.

Make no doubt about it. These creatures in this town can no longer be considered human and worth treating as such. Humans would not allow such animals to operate freely in their midst.

I can think of no response, from imprisoning the town to use of tactical nuclear weapons, that I would consider too harsh. I don't care what France or the Spanish socialists, or even the Shii'a in the south of Iraq think. All these Sunni dogs understand is force, and it's time to teach them a lesson.

No more Mr. Nice Guy, W. Revenge. Revenge.

"Hell, even if we caught OBL I wouldn't dance in the street on his corpse...I sometimes wonder why we are trying to improve the lives of barbarians."

I was thinking the same thing. If one of us killing Osama Bin Laden we may want to celebrate but not by mutilating his corpse and playing with it! These people are disgusting and they ALL seem to share their fondness of playing with dead things. A Sunni Muslim Arab child would rather play with a dismembered corpse than a soccer ball. Which of you guys on Free Republic would get so happy if you killed OBL that you couldn't resist to mutilate him with a shovel and drag him behind your car? That alone shows the difference between civilized people and Islamic Arab Ghouls.

I agree. What they did was callously murder civilians. It looks like there is plenty of footage that we can get faces and then names from. I want to see every person who so much as threw a pebble at the burning vehicle hanging from that bridge. It seems to be the only thing they understand.

[hellinahandcart]

Bet they got a real thrill out of burning a woman to death.

They are trying to pull a Somalia here, and it can't be allowed to work again. It is time to actually BE as repressive as everyone says we are.

My advice to non-combatants in Fallujah is to start packing right now for an extended "vacation" in another city.

"One of their convoys was ambushed. They came into a town and simply told the residents that every time a Frenchman (German) was killed, 10 locals would quietly disappear."

So you are saying that the US military should emulate the methods of the Waffen SS in Iraq? I thought they were supposed to be "liberators"? I'm more and more starting to think the whole Iraq war was a mistake.

[petercooper]

I don't believe I have ever been seething with more anger, than I have been right now looking at these pictures.

[Steve_Seattle]

The military should send a message that anyone celebrating at the site of a killing, or desecrating corpses, will be shot on sight.

[NCC-1701]

Perhaps the animals in this picture should be turned into charred corpses.

[pgyanke]

We ain't Spain.

I know.

I was referring to the lesson our enemies learned in Spain and the likelihood of more attacks leading up to our elections. Gotta look at the context of the converstation, not just the words...

I didn't think this would be hard to understand on this forum. High density area...

[Steve_Seattle]

"I'm more and more starting to think the whole Iraq war was a mistake."

And that's exactly what the people doing these killings want you to think.

No way can I look at those photos. However, I reminded of various protests by the left in San Francisco -- wherein they would hang effigies, and chant. They hung effigies of Pete Wilson, Newt Gingrich; racialists in the "Chicano" academic side of colleges hung an effigy of Ward Connerly.

Who is imitating who. If, our US lefties are imitating murderers, or, are the murderers imitating American leftists.

Lefties and terrorists operate in the "mirror" world of each other.

[Truthsayer20]

"These people don't behave like humans, they behave like animals."

So what the h*ll are we doing in Iraq then? Why would we want to take on the task of civilizing a bunch of animals? It's not worth the sacrifice.

Northeast of Baghdad, in the city of Baqouba on Wednesday, a suicide bomber blew up explosives in his car when he was near a convoy of government vehicles, wounding 14 Iraqis and killing himself, officials said.

Suicide Bomber Attacks, One Dead.

[ThermoNuclearWarrior]

There guys were more than just demonstrates. They are as guilty as the terrorist who actually killed them. We should find them and kill them. Every single one that's on that video tape should be killed. I would like for it to be done in view of the public to send a warning but we all know that won't happen. But at the very least I hope they track down the guys who mutilated these bodies and kill them no matter what. We shouldn't let scum like that go. They will never contribute one positive thing to Iraq or the world.

"No more Mr. Nice Guy, W."

Agreed. I'm not a nuke the whole town guy, but this type of behavior demands a HARSH response to show that it will not be tolerated. I'm sick of our troops and civilians being killed in and around Fallujah and Najaf.

Bush had best respond.

[oolatec]

Get rid of Fallujah, get rid of the problem.

Another photo of the same scene as post 42:

Iraqis mutilate the burnt body of a dead man believed to be a US citizen

[TeleStraightShooter]

The Iraqi terrorists and their civilian supporters, by putting on a similar display, think President Bush is made of the same stuff.

They are gravely mistaken.
If I was in a command/control position I'd have a hard time not overreacting.......

[af_vet_rr]

OMG...how can human beings celebrate like that (rhetorical question)....Hell, even if we caught OBL I wouldn't dance in the street on his corpse...I sometimes wonder why we are trying to improve the lives of barbarians.

Because this is a war. This is far from new, and is no different than Somalia, or our POWs being beaten and paraded through the streets of Hanoi, or what went on during the Korean War, and numerous wars before that.

I don't think we are trying to improve their lives, I think we removed a dictator and potential future threat. I hope and pray that this war doesn't turn into a nation-building mission or we'll be there for many years, and we'll continue to lose an American a day (or more). It looks like nation-building at times, but I hope that's just a preparation for turning the place over to an elected government.

Anytime anybody tells you the war was over last summer, just point them to this thread or this website : Those killed supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom
