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

In memoriam

[MadIvan]

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.

[Frohickey]

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.

[SICSEMPERTYRANNUS]

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.

Ivan,

Your strength and devotion are apparent. Godspeed to the brave British troops - and may He bless the souls of those lost.

[don-o]

Ivan, I appreciate all the posts you make. I read them all.

One question: Is the Union Jack indeed at half mast there?

[OregonRancher]

Deepest regrets. Thank you Brits for all your courage.

[math=power]

With the fourth being screwed by our "friends" in Turkey we would be completely unable to do this without the support of the 50,000 British troops doing their nation proud. Thank you for standing with us!!! We shall never forget your bravery, skill and sacrifice.

[Reb Raider]

There is a sickness of the soul in people who show this and who enjoy watching it. I cannot explain or understand it except to say it is evil--devoid of any goodness or compassion. I began praying for the British soldiers and thier families as soon as I heard they were missing. I will continue praying that God gives these brave soldier's families the peace and measure of grace only He can give.

I really struggle with my feelings right now. It is a good thing God is patient with me while I go from wanting to do vile things to those who have treated British and American soldiers with disdain to asking Him to help me not feel hate. I think He said it is ok to hate evil, just cool it on the torture I pictured doing back at them. :)
