Canines Get Drafted for Iraq Combat
LA Times ^ | 08/09/2005 | Borzou Daragahi

At a checkpoint leading to the U.S.-protected Green Zone, Gordy stands sentry. The affable Belgian Malinois has a nose finely tuned to detect the nitrates, plastic explosives, gunpowder and detonation cords that suicide bombers use to blow up people.

On a barren stretch of road in northern Iraq, a dog rigged with explosives approaches a group of Iraqi police officers. Detonated by remote control, the bomb tears the dog apart but doesn't harm the cops.

Reprehensible and sickening. Don't even have the guts to kill themselves, as evil as homicide bombing is, these sick demons find one more way to reach a new level of barbarism.

Muslims (pig poop be upon them) are scum!

The Belgian Malnoise is a GREAT dog. We had one as a drug dog on the police dept. in another life.

In case you deem this appropriate for the dog ping list.

And here's to all the U.S. forces and coalition dogs and their trainers and handlers.

It should soon become a known fact in Western society that Muslims are scum of the earth and that any civilized person should consider them as unclean. They've earned it.

The Muslims will consider anything that suits their immediate intent as "unclean" or some other such nonsense to gain an advantage over the infidel. It's nothing but a ruse. Western society has become so tolerant that we believe any BS these ragheads tell us is their religious tradition and we bow and scrape and ask for their forgiveness while they snicker at us underneath their towels and fan-belts. If we don't declare the Muslims as persona non grata et mundo, they're gonna do it to us. And we'll deserve it!

Surely a sign of the desperation of these insurgents. They have no method of delivering their bombs to targets, they are forced to use kamikazi attacks, and the liberal media remains ready to kowtow to them. Good thing we had stronger stuff back in the World War Two days. Heck, Hurst started a war!

Considering how they value their fellow citizens, their wives, etc.....this is no big surprise. I recommend we send PETA groups over to talk some sense into them.

"Abdel Salam Kubaisi, a spokesman for the Muslim Scholars Assn., a hard-line Sunni Arab clerical organization sympathetic to insurgents, called the practice un-Islamic. "Our religion does not permit us to hurt animals,"

Just what I wanted to know, how moral the Muslim religion is.

We can't hurt animals?

These guys are primitives with screwed up heads.

Second posting of this story here:

U.S. forces rely on dogs to detect bombs in Iraq. Insurgents rig them with explosives.

Proud and honest are the service dogs, despicable are those who would betray them.

Ping!

I just found the best (at least one of the best) humane society shelters in the United States. It is near Cashiers, NC and the people there work diligently with the dogs and cats and are very competent and able. If any of you posting or lurking have a chance, and you live anywhere near there, you really should visit the place and give them a donation. WARNING, they will present you will a wonderful pet and let the pet work you into absolute submission.
