US marines pressing an offensive in this Iraqi town west of Baghdad bombed a mosque in the center of the town Wednesday and killed up to 40 insurgents inside, a marine officer said.
The attack came from a jet aircraft at a high angle to minimize the impact, the officer said.
"We wanted to kill the people inside," said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne.

From velvet gloves to iron fist. This is more like it. No more safety zones. Mosques are terror factories, let's admit it.

It looks as though they're hiding in their mosques, because they knew in the past that they could be safe there.
I guess it makes them easier to kill.

"We wanted to kill the people inside"YA THINK?!?
To: veronica
About time. We can't finish this with them hiding out in mosques. Hope Sadr was there.
To: Guillermo
Here we go? I don't decry the action. I was merely anticipating the reaction of the media (et al.).

Ahhhh...a much better thread than the duplicate where someone was wringing their hands about how this was going to play out in the Islamic world. I replied but the thread got locked:
Who cares...tell 'em if they don't cut the crap, Mecca is next. I for one am tired of the "Islam is Peace" BS. Not one single imam has come out and condemned these fools for their terroristic actions.
To: Bloody Sam Roberts
That's been the problem in the past...refusing to go after certain terrorists because of the potential reaction in the western media.

To the islamic guerrillas, mosques represent a "safe zone" because of the PC of the west. It is way past the time for us to get rid of this way of thinking...This is so true. These animals will hide behind, and use anything and anyone to further their ultimate cause, which is to murder as many innocents as possible.
Praying especially hard for the safety of our troops today.

I agree, but we all know how it's gonna be played in the Islamic world.
...this is from another thread: my response: if these guys go up on charges like West did, there better be a national OUTCRY and I'm willing to lead the group. Those terrorists know how to play this PC crap - hopefully that day is now over. Go American military! - and may God keep you safe in the palm of His hand.
What does it mean when it says a thread is locked?

I hope alSadr gets the message.You cannot make a fortress of a Mosque.Listen up Shiites,your most holy Shrine will be in danger if you let "bad boy" hole up in there.
