Bump for congressmen advertising on site that expresses support for murder of Americans in Fallujah.

"Scott Helvenston, from Florida was one of the four men in the despicable attack. And yes his body was hung over the Eurphrates River. A 12 year Navy Seal veteran and a wonderful person."

Scott personified every living American. His blood will not be shed in vain. Vengence must be swift, devastating, and will surely be sweet.

Scorched Earth comes to mind.

Thank you very much for sharing.

I am so sorry. Please, please, please send my sympathy to his family. My heart is just broken over this. I cannot imagine the horror for the families.

Fallujah...be damned

Exactly. I am so sorry for your friend and his family.

I posted much of the following on another thread

Top US military spokesman Mark Kimmitt said "we will respond. It is going to be deliberate and precise and it will be overwhelming"

So it appears Fallujah will soon be indeed damned. The how is the question.

Getting down to brass tacks, there is not going to be any nuclear bombs, MOAB's, public executions, etc. No more than there was in Afganistan when we went in.

Plain and simple, what I think is going to happen is that the military will move in, troops, tanks, C-170's, A-!0's, Apache's and all, and there is going to be one big shootout. Sort of like there was in the battles in Afganistan. With all those terrorist fighters taking their guns to town, and those already in town, they won't be able to not shoot at our guys. Then all hell breaks loose.

That will be the overwhelming part. This won't be one hummer with four guys, or a lone convoy, but a mass movement into town. And no backing down. A irresistable force moving through town, with the tanks and air supports that Mogidishu did not have when the Blackhawk Down incident occurred. The tanks had been there a month earlier, but Clinton had them withdrawn (see Ralph Zumbro's -a.k.a. "zippo" - Tank Aces for a nice supplement to Mark Bowden's book). Withdrawing the tanks won't be the case now.

Every terrorist/homicide bomber in town gets his day (?more like nanosecond) in the cross hairs. Picking out faces from pictures of the earlier celebrations will be more a question of identifying bodies - what's left of them. The rest might get turned in when it's over, but I kinda think they'll all fight to the bitter end. Even if we don't find all the perps, 10 to 1 payback won't be all bad.

This way too, there aren't the difficult questions of who to kill. Just shoot the ones who shoot at you. End of screening process.

I'm so sorry for your friends [and your] loss. Words can't express how we feel.

Please ask your friends to accept our condolences. May God watch over the Halverson family and the families of all those who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan for us. Let God be with the Marines who will extract the justice from the hides of those responsible for this heinous act, and with President Bush, a truly good man.

I have been so enraged by the stories about this. I can't imagine what I would feel if I knew one of the victims.
