ARABIAN NIGHTMARES Iraq's Butchers Exploit Our Morality
New York Post ^ | Ralph Peters

Posted on 11/15/2006 12:44:36 PM PST by MaineVoter2002

YESTERDAY, 80 terrorists in police uniforms raided an Iraqi research institute in Baghdad, rounded up 100-plus male students, loaded them into vehicles in broad daylight and drove away.

They couldn't have pulled it off without the complicity of key elements within the Iraqi security services and the government: "our guys."...

And he is encouraged by the Democrats' support of him...

Just like the VC. A shame.

Yes they do. If they're Peshmerga, they can be trusted.

"Insurgents" caught planting bombs, carrying bombs, making bombs, financing bombing, plotting bombings and any activities related to mass murder should be tried and summarily executed by the Iraqi authorities. Anything else, besides gathering intel, is a waste of time and sends the wrong message to the enemy.

"...the mass kidnapping also highlights the feebleness of our attempts to overcome ruthless enemies with generosity and good manners."

We can't teach the savage how to be a gentleman if he won't listen. And even their religious leaders aren't helping with the transition to gentlemen.

So what's left for us?

Good question.

We need to test this assumption:

In the end, the future of Iraq will be determined by its people

Let's nuke Iran into a parking lot and see if the reduction in money, munitions and manpower for the "insurgents" makes a difference. At least the situation in Iraq might then be "determined by its people".

As in the Vietnam War, the Malaise party does not want us to identify and fight our real enemy. As then, the Democrats want us to lose.

Did the detonations over Hiroshima and Nagasaki discriminate?

That was my point. It's easy for you to advocate nukes...from the comfort of our home of office back in the U.S.

That's why I'm glad you're not calling the shots. I'm pretty sure I speak on behalf of the vast numbers of us Americans who are in Iraq.

I'm of the opinion that we redeploy our forces, and those of our allies, Eastward, to an area bounded by Al Kut to Iran, and South to Al Basra, and possibly Al Buayyah and to Umm Qasr to Kuwait.

Secure that area, and build our USAF Bases, US Army Bases, and US Naval Bases, that we have earned in Iraq with our Armed Forces wonderful and Heroic efforts!

Let Iraq have their Civil War - who cares - we'll be in place for the next round - Iran!

Most of the materials, equipment, and manpower, are already in Iraq, so why not use them to secure our own, USA-owned facilities there? We can lease them from Iraq after islamania is destroyed, not unlike Guantanamo is leased from Cuba.

Stay well armed and safe..............FRegards

"...It rests in the hands of the POTUS. I wish I knew what his thoughts on the matter are..."

I agree that it truly is in President Bushs' hands. He's on an Asian tour now, stopping for a quick meeting in Russia, then on to several other Countries to take-care-of-business, then back home.

There have been several seemingly innocuous events over the past few months, and they made me notice, so speculation was inevitable. Today, for example, THIS ITEM caught my eye. A few days ago, I posted THIS THREAD, a possible outcome of several events that had happenned. I'm still gathering data, and this time, I'm double-copying my reference bookmarks.

Stay well armed and safe.................FRegards

Somehow I doubt that a general extermination order will be forthcoming. Sorry. These are U.S soldiers, not the Einsatzgruppen.

Perhaps not that far, but maybe a Phoenix Program ?

Good to see you too, McGavin999! Us 'olders' are kinda lost in a sea of FReepers anymore, but that's a good thing. Lotsa different ideas and viewpoints, and this site has become the best news source ever!

Stay well armed and safe - there's a lotta mosques in the USA..............FRegards

A week ago a mob of media slugs, masquerading as decent american citizens, rounded up millions of voters and herded them into election polls to vote for things for which they had no understanding.

To master Iraq now - if it could be done - we'd have to fight every faction except the Kurds. Are we willing to do that? Are we willing to kill mass murderers and cold-blooded executioners on the spot?

At last, someone who knows how to win, but we wont be allowed to do it before we leave.

It will be difficult as long as we have liberals supporting the enemy on national and international discussion boards on USENET
