If only I could be sure that I was made of such stuff.

This man looked the savage in the eye and beat him at his own game. The vermin got their cowardly kill, shooting a bound and defenseless man that was more a man than they could ever be. But they have in that act created a legend.

I've been to Italy a few times...Sicily.

I grew up in an Italian neighborhood and family in New York.

I also know that, normally, a brave man is the result of a strong, brave family.

Mr. Jihad, meet Mr. Vendetta.

This was the first I have read of this man's bravery. He is a credit to his country and its history.

The Valkyrior are singing with joy tonight...they have another true warrior, who died like a man, to love forever in Valhalla.

AND he's Italian.

I will hoist a drink to that man tonight, and recognize his courage and his character. And trust that the Marines will exact a grim justice for him.

Unfortunately, it looks like the cowardly killers of this hero will get exactly the same punishment those who killed our 4 heroes got: nothing.

Cowards HATE heroism. It's something they envy so they can't show this on their blasted T.V.. What they can and do show is cowards with masks and blurred faces doing hideous things to defenseless people. According to them WE are the cowards. May all these advarasiaries of freedom and decency and acvocates of evil, rot in hell asap.

The TRUCE redefined us marine style: "I intend to use AC 130 gunships every night," Byrne said. (and he has been)...

The truth appears to be that fallujah is about finished. "truce" like the one we have been using regarding fallujah is our new term for mop up operations.

close to 3000 casualties counting over 700 dead insurgents and apparently around 2200 incapacitated men of military age according to reports now floating around.

payback for our 4 heros... is being delivered.
by Lt. Col Byrne and the USMC... slow. cold. accurate as hell. from 1000 yards out. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1118436/posts

He Died as a MAN; Faced with Irrational Psychopaths, He MADE Them FACE Their own Irrationalty & Cruelty, & Physically Demonstrated to Them that HE was a BETTER HUMAN BEING than They.

His INEXCUSABLE DEATH PROVED that his "Murderers" were SUBHUMAN SCUM.

His Inhuman Death ALSO PROVED that there can be NO "Dealing With" these Islamic Psychopaths; They WANT "Death," They should be Freely Accomodated.

Their Behavior has been Pathologically Subhuman; we must ACCEPT Their chosen Path, & Treat them as they have Chosen--as "Pathological Subhumans!"

SO BE IT.

We are "At WAR" with a "Sub-Species of Humanity" Incapable of "Normal Human Interaction & Discourse."

It Is a "Fight-to-the-Finish!!"

WE (Western Civilization) are the "Good Guys!!"

A PART OF "ISLAM" are the "BAD GUYS!!"

EVERY "Stinking, Unorthodox, Illegal, Underhanded Trick 'In the Book'" has been used against us--BEFORE we were EVEN AWARE that we were "At War!!"

The "Mighty Warriors of Islam" have attempted to Hurt Us BEFORE they actually "Declared Jihad against Us."

The SAD PART IS, that America has NEVER DECLARED ANY aggressive attack on ANYONE.

SO "WHAT GIVES??"

Is It Possible that the "Islamic Jihardists" have UNILATERALLY Declared War "on the West??"

One Wonders, WHY a Group of "Islamicists" would attempt to Foment a WAR??

Perhaps we should Examine the "Motives" of these People before we "Reflexly React to Their Provocations."

They HAVE TO KNOW that there is NO WAY they can win a Military Confrontation, so WHAT is their "Game??"

HHmmmnnn

Doc

I have always loved traveling in Italy; the Italians are the best people, and the courage they are showing now is awe-inspiring.

I want each and every one of those thugs, including and especially that 12 year old humanoid, to be rounded up and fed feet first into a 8-foot disk sander. Their pulp should be mixed with scrapple and fed by force to the prisoners and/or citizens.(are we taking prisoners? Or are we letting them fade into the population as well?)

I heard today that they are not going to go after these cowards individually. This is an outrage.

I think we went after them as a group... about 3000 thus far. Lots dead. lots more MOSTLY DEAD. And it aint over. Pictures were supposedly checked on the way out.

I doubt little mohammet got away. Probably already worm food in the soccer field. Ce la vie. I understand your sander sentiments.

However hot blooded killing is something we need to avoid.
It's more useful to do it cold. Calculated. pop pop pop....

they killed four contractors. we killed 7-800 of their men and boyz. and permanently injured another 2200 or so.

retribution in the order of 200/1, counting injured and permanently deformed, blinded or crippled... 500/1.
And we did it humanely... pop pop pop.

and cold... no trial, no videos, no pleading. just pink paste and a trip to the soccer field.
Something very very appropriate about that.

Mr. Jihad, meet Mr. Vendetta.

You could be righter than you think.

Just curious, what take the legendarily feared Mafia will have on this matter. They are evil crooks, but they also have a consummate sense of honor. I wonder if we will also start to see a sharp rise in the number of Italians signing up for the Marines.

Their Game is, depending on how high they are in the echelons, either "72 Virgins" or "Let's see how many suckers I can recruit"

The insurgents kidnap a few civilians, force them to dig their own grave, bind them hand and foot, and then shoot them in the head. But a video of the murders released to impress and demoralize the Italian public does not have intended effect. They misjudged their audience: the Italians are not medieval Islamic fanatics, they are rather more sophisticated. It's too bad, but the video does show us what would impress and demoralize its makers; it's too bad because we're too sophisticated to put the lesson into practice.

Oh and by the way it's Italian olive oil for me for now on. No more of that Spanish stuff.
