British bodies lie in dust as mob exults

Memo to Iraqi apologists: if you think you will intimidate us into leaving Iraq with such images, you will fail. The blood of the slain screams for vengeance, and that vengeance will be fulfilled.

Memo to Al Jazeera: the rude version of "go forth and multiply". I hope Tornado jets take out your filthy television station, post haste.

Regards, Ivan

Bump!

[Neets]

Sincerest apologies from this American Ivan....

Your troops do your country proud...we are forever in your debt for this helping hand!!!

[Fzob]

May God bless them and their families. God bless the Brits.

[Arpege92]

I will say an extra prayer for the British families!

[RAT Patrol]

I'm so sorry, MadIvan.

Methinks the Desert Rats aren't the kind of gents these bastards wanna be pissing off.

Sickening actions by the peaceful Muslims once more. Their decisions will cause the world to see them for what they truly are: vermin who need to be eradicated. We are only too glad to help in the cause, and forever grateful to the
British for fighting side by side with us.

[Mister Magoo]

One has to wonder about the psyche of people who exult in the humilation of dead bodies. These are sick people whose self-image is so pitiful, that they must exult in the death of others.

Al-Jazeera News Reporters should be KICKED OUT of QATAR immediately.

At least KICK them out of the CENTCOM briefing, I heard Gen. Franks or the other General warn them in the news conference not to do that.

It was not long after those deeply disturbing images had been seen in America that the troops were brought home.

Thanks to the ever poll-conscious WJ Clintoon. That A-hole is more responsible for these images being broadcast than any single person.

But all will remember even more keenly the images from Somalia in 1993, when the corpses of US soldiers were dragged triumphantly through the streets of Mogadishu. It was not long after those deeply disturbing images had been seen in America that the troops were brought home.

Thats because it was Clintoon in the White House.

How long are we going to continue this absurdity? We keep fighting according to Olympic Boxing Rules, and the other guy is slamming us in the balls. We ought to turn Al Jazeera into the History Channel, and stop worrying about whether some sensibilities are rattled when we create some hardships for civilians in Iraq.

What would Roosevelt do?

Sorry to hear about your boys, Ivan.

Thank you Bill Clinton. Your cowardice and unwillingess to use force have encouraged our enemies to try the same tactic again. They believe that because it succeeded once with Bill Clinton, that these tactics will succeed agaisnt Bush and Blair and the coalition. If Clinton had acted with resove and force instead of worrying about the polls, there would be a chance POWs may he treated better if only because of fear we will retaliate in spades. That we now have a history of turning tail virtually guarantees that they will not be treated with respect.

It's time to make it obvious even to the Jazeera kool-aid drinkers that they won't win points by this sort of behavior.

MadIvan,
I will not respond to the report of this atrocity in my preferred fashion as there are ladies on this board. I have full confidence that our British brothers-in-arms will inflict the proper payback. Take care.

"Sickening actions by the peaceful Muslims once more."

There is overwhelming evidence and documentation that Muslims are, in general, a rather brutish and barbaric lot. I believe it is because the Koran, or some of Mohammed's scribblings, said that in order for Islam to remain "pure," it cannot evolve or change in any way from its original tenets. Thus, as the world developed and matured, Islam remained locked in the 7th Century, where it exists to this day. Christianity, by contrast, had its bloodlust many centuries ago, but it grew out of it (save for a few very isolated lunatics).
