They were jubilant we were there to save them.
It was a bad excerpting job on my part.

I can’t be sure this is just an Arab urban legend. After all, these people are told Jews make Matzoh out of the blood of Arab children, and many of them believe it.

That said, Al Quada is so barbaric I have no problem believing they love to think up new tortures.

No real surprise, except that it’s being reported. There’s worse, I’m sure.

Too bad they didn’t invite joe wilson for tea and yellow cake.

Just YESTERDAY, jaz, I had a conversation that burst out of nowhere. One of those, where the antennae stick up. I rushes back to me now, looking at and reading about these kids.

A woman, in a store, just started talking about how her mother died when she was young, and then, all their pictures burned in a fire.

The thrust of her point was that she is obsessed with photography now (and these were her words)

because it captures a moment and that moment can live forever.

I get bent at all the armchair quarterbacks, even on FReep questioning details of things going on over there. Yon has been one of the few consistently on the ground with our fighting men in the tough places.

Yeah these people lie worse than BillyJeff Klintoon, but the website referenced has photos of a lot of kids beheaded and crazy stuff happens over there every day, so it is definitely plausible.

Thanks for your service, sorry you didn’t get your chance at the show.

Some from FR and the Dems want to run from this????

This is a must read. Ask yourself, if MSM reported the real news would retreat be in our vocabulary? We should be ashamed, but alas, we are not.

If you have the stomach for what should be REAL Front Page Photos, check out these pics. They are for the Tough ONLY. I am very serious about that. Read the post below for the author and photographer.

I agree that the baked-boy story sounds......mythological.

That line from The Godfather comes to mind, the one about something being "an infamia" -- Mediterranean and Middle Eastern societies have their infamias, things that even Al Q'aeda wouldn't touch. Child murder and cannibalism would seem -- from a distance -- far enough over the line, that not even our worst enemies would go there.

But we know Beslan was true. They would kill children, we know that.

And it wouldn't be past one of the locals to tell that LT a big story? Or maybe a true story, but dolled up some more and therefore no longer true?

The British SAS who were among the first into Afghanistan found the Afghani men were rushing home, putting on women's clothing and makeup, and coming out to offer the Brits their services. So some guys would offer their services, and another wouldn't offer a story?

Like I said in my post above, the story is over there and I'm over here, but still.......

The latest dispatch from the great Micheal Yon. It is a very good, detailed read. Also it has a link the his previous dispatch, “Bless the Children and the Beasts� which is also a MUST read. Warning, if you have not seen/read that dispatch, those pictures are tough to see but necessary. Too bad The New York Times refuses to report about the Al Qaeda atrocities occurring every day in Iraq. They should be on the front page.

Meanwhile the UK prefers not to name the enemy. Thank you for posting this. The MSM is evil, not to report these stories.

No chance. AQ saws off the head of an old man. The US’s fault. blow up a market full of wimmin & chillen, our fault.

I still say the editors in the MSM should be hanged for treason.

And you know I have plenty of video and pics.
