Did we need this detail? Al Queda thanks you, Media.

I agree. The ship’s name would have been better left unsaid by the media.

“forester, is that like can’t see the forester for the trees? Do you know about Dresden, Germany? The Germans were ingenious during WWII. They had the parts for the Messerschmidt fighter planes built in the suburbs and in and around Dresden. The only way to stop this was to attack the craftsman and the sparsely spattered shops located all over the place. There was no specific geographic target to attack.

There is no difference from this strategy than the fact that people are weapons all unstrung among the general population of many Muslim communities. People are the Messerschmidt’s of today’s war. We need to attack those weapons of war. If that means barbecuing innocent women and children than tough shit. It’s time to end this war. It’s been done before. The human race can do this. We are very good at it. It’s time to stop playing around and end it. People sue for peace when it gets intolerable. Shooting a 12 year old girl living with a tyrant is not a tragedy. It’s just a good start. It’s time to stop all the killing by making them want to stop, one way or another. There is no politically correct way to wage war. The happiness face of war is just a liberal sense of enlightenment that shines as bright as a pile of dog crap. It’s like war is the new tolerance test. It’s another fool’s parade. It’s time to stop falling for this tolerance bull-crap.”

I hope our armed forces has as many clean-shaven, slim men wearing hijabs and pretending to be women. I really do. If they’re the warriors I think they are, they do.

Wouldn't entombing his body at some site where he can be worshiped by the filthy rag heads be more dangerous?

Japan has a nice unused cement and steel sarcophagus at the site of the now defunct nuclear reactors....would make an ideal mausoleum, nice sea view and all.

I do not doubt the courage, honor or capabilities of those women in the least. Not as large a percentage of women can do a job like that as a percentage of men but there is a percentage that can, do and will. It is the policy of having them wear hijabs that galls me.

“Hope they washed him with pig grease!!!”

I love that that bozo got caught living the high life in a million dollar mansion. What a classic example of a fundamentalist. I hope that they have film at 11:00 with him hiding behind a child. I guess that was another stand up guy that was there. You can’t just die with class. Mt. Climbers do it all the time. Muslims are just a bunch of rule breakers I guess. 72 Gargoyles ... oops I thought they were supposed to be virgins.

Weirdest quote of the day award.

manc, I know that I am in the company of more than a few FReepers when I say it’s reasonable to conclude that ODH is a phoney-baloney and might even be a government shill to try to influence FR’s image and opinion. Shills/phonies really do exist on this website. Just bear it in mind when you see an ODH post.

Maybe the service went something like this.

Now, Sponson Six is now open for the dumping of trash and garbage. Take all trash and garbage to Sponson Six.

WE’re screwed as a nation....

This past few days has taught me that the US can withstand a tyrant or incompetent in the WH. There is not much wiggle room in a republic as ours, but I’m thinking just how much nicer life would be if a true leader channeled this country’s strengths.

I had hopes that by now, our affluence would have spread throughout the world, instead we are a declining country of people.

CAn we afford four more years of this bast*rd?

What website did you find that on? I need to cite the source for an argument I’m having with some people that think the burial at sea was an insult to islum.

Why does this red herring keep surfacing? Who in the world suggests that this is the only alternative?
