Fallujah...Be Damned

Shake hands with Uday and Qusay when you meet them in Hell, okay?

[SunStar]

Well, the people of Fallujah never asked us to be there.

Go to hell, scumbag. Take a hike to a like minded forum where trolls like you are welcome, such as Barbara Streisand's message board.

I prayed for the families of the victims this morning. It was very difficult. Words were very hard to find. The most I can say is I hope that somehow, some way, God will strengthen and comfort them.

These Americans who had their lives taken were very brave. I am sure they were all excellent human beings, for those are the type of people who are willing to take risks, to be a part of an action that needs to be done.

My hearts go out to the families. I can in no way know their pain, but I would like them to know that many are mourning for their loved ones.

[Quix]

Am not you.

Am not in a similar position.

But I AM deeply sickened and outraged by the rabid dogs' actions.

I'm very inclined to scream for extremely harsh response. It seems to be the only thing the region understands.

I grieve with you. I grieve for you. I grieve for their families. I grieve for the idiots in our land traitorously destroying us from within by siding with such evil idiots abroad. And I greive for the results of their hideous actions.

May God somehow comfort you and the families and guide our President to order extremely dramatic, vivid and effective responses.

And May God protect us from the evil dogs within our land.

[Think free or die]

I'm very sorry for the loss you have suffered, and my heart aches for Scott's family. It is a terrible way to lose a loved one.

I am grateful to the many brave soldiers and civilians who are putting their lives on the line to make our world a safer and better place. I have no doubt that if we failed to fight these battles in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, we'd be fighting more of them right here at home.

The sacrifices of these front-line soldiers and workers are great, and many of their families are bearing a horrible burden of grief and anger. I pray that our leaders will bring their killers, desecrators, and any who cheered their deaths, to swift and sure justice. That is the least we can do. I also pray that we will succeed in building a foundation for a safe and free Iraq - a place where savagery has no place and such primitive, evil people find no sanctuary.

Okay, can we refrain from posting to the troll while the Mod cleans up? Rapunzel said she wanted to print this out for her friend.

You can pull my post too, in the interest of tidiness...

"Tear down the bridge, stop the food shipments, and tell women and children they have 36 hours to leave before our troops go in, in a big way."

Indeed!

Just like Sean Connery's character said in "The Untouchables", "If they send one of yours to the hospital, you send two of theirs to the morgue."

I'm sure Bush can use our prayers as I'm sure he is grieving with the appropriate response. I truly do believe, perhaps not in barbaric Fallujah, but in Iraq in general that most of the people want peace and freedom and just to live life like they've never lived it.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will pray for you and his family. I pray he did not suffer greatly. At times of sorrow and extreme danger like this, I always have to read Patton's prayer:

"Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen."

[commish]

Please pass on to Scott's family and friends that his death will not be forgotten. They are in my prayers. May god rest his loving hands upon thier shoulders and calm thier breaking hearts.

No one should have to suffer the indignity Scott did, but he died for a good cause, and his death will not be in vain. May god, grant our fine Marines the ability to bring these monsters to justice, and may that justice be handed out efficiently and painfully.

TIme to play hardball. Give the good people of Fallujah 24 hours to hand over the perps, then start dismantling the town by whatever means neccessary.

[ConservativeMan55]

Yes. If she's wanting to print this out for her friend I think it would be best if my comments to the troll were cleaned off as well.

[Rapunzel]

I'm logging out for the night but will check in again sometime tomorrow, as first thing in the morning I got to go check on his Grandma(she is kinda like my 2nd mom)

Thank you all for your kind words of comfort.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Sorry about my outburst to the troll. I got mad.

[Rapunzel]

You should have seen what I was typing in the box but had better notions to delete it before posting.

[ConservativeMan55]

Ping.

[WSGilcrest]

INCLINE Thine ear, O Lord, unto our prayers, wherein we humbly pray Thee to show Thy mercy upon the soul of Thy servant Scott, whom Thou hast commanded to pass out of this world, that Thou wouldst place him in the region of peace and light, and bid him be a partaker with Thy Saints. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

[Brad’s Gramma]
