Daily Kos: "How Quaint"

Tue, Jun 20, 2006 at 7:39:44 am PDT

Two US soldiers kidnapped in Iraq have been found: Bodies of missing U.S. soldiers recovered.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - The bodies of two U.S. soldiers reported captured last week have been recovered, and an Iraqi official said Tuesday the men were “killed in a barbaric way.” Al-Qaida in Iraq claimed responsibility for killing the soldiers, and said the successor to slain terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi had “slaughtered” them, according to a Web statement that could not be authenticated.

The language in the statement suggested the men had been beheaded.

The sick freaks at Daily Kos are gloating: Daily Kos: So our boys were tortured - how quaint.

The bodies of the two captured U.S. soldiers were found in Iraq - bearing signs of “barbaric torture.”

How quaint.

I hope Alberto Gonzales and John Yoo will sleep well tonight, with visions of those boys’ bodies and the horrible barbarities inflicted upon them dancing in their heads. Perhaps Gonzales, and Yoo, and Rumsfeld and Bush will be able to envision the same inhumanities being visited upon their family members and loved ones as they drift off to peaceful slumber.

This cannot stand. We cannot allow this administration and its incomprehensible defense of and support for torture in violation of the “quaint” Geneva Conventions to remain.

The chickens have come home to roost. As ye sew, so shall ye reap.

I weep for my country, and for the families and loved ones of those in Iraq and Afghanistan, those yet living and those already dead.

Peace.

This is the results of the failure of US schools systems. Teaching kids how to get in touch with their feelings instead of teaching them how to think.

Someone forgets that beheadings have been a favorite pasttime sport of Islam for centuries. Mulsims torturing others did not start because we are in Iraq.

Panties placed on your head is not the same as having your head slowly sawed off. Funny how the Kidz can't seem to grasp that.

"As ye sew[sic], so shall ye reap"

Why do they always do this? Always couch a defense of animals like the terrorists in terms of "response to US affronts" rather than the truth... the nature of terrorists? It's the same blame the vicitm mentality so many apologists and appeasniks are disposed to embrace, and it's always the same stupidly myopic drivel.

No words.

The pathology of the majority of DKos posters is just sickening.

Whatever happens at Abu Ghraib (which I don't excuse) has no effect on what the al quaida monsters are doing - they will torture no matter what.

And anyone who fails to see that is ignoring reality.

He does want more dead soldiers, so long as they are American soldiers. This self-loathing POS deserves worse; the kos blog is like Madame Dafarge's knitting: keep track of the names as we will ultimately need them.

And if the dark forces of kos triumph, they will surely show us no mercy as well.

I am sorry for the soldiers and the loved ones they left behind. We all owe them a debt of gratitude, even the smug on kos.

The "quaint" quality of the Geneva Convention that Gonzales was commenting on is that it requires captors to provide their prisoners with sports uniforms and equipment for recreation. That indeed does seem quaint considering the nature of our enemies today.

42 VetteMan  Tue, Jun 20, 2006 5:54:45am

Nothing surprising here. Just showing their true colors; the colors of hating America. Has anyone ever had any other expectation from the Kos crowd? It's not like they have a history supporting America, except in failure.

Laughable book sales, continued decline in web site traffic, openly supporting enemies of America, cheering for America's failure; these are the things that define the words Loser and Kos, alike.

43 TalkinKamel  Tue, Jun 20, 2006 5:55:09am

Kos ain't weeping---he's laughing. They support the troops. Yeah. Right.

I thought it was extremely "quaint" how he blames Bush, et al, for the soldiers' deaths, rather than those who actually killed and tortured them.

Quaint indeed.

Geez, it's so clear that the Kos Kids, for all their "noble" speeches, and "high" values, are really only in it for making a political point. They have no virtue. They have no mercy. They have no sympathy. The horrors and atrocities in the world, the grief and sorrow of others, only serves (in their own minds) to prove them right. They're selling their souls to the idol of their own correct judgement.

How sad for them when someday they discover that their golden idol was created by themselves, and is really just spraypainted wax.

Because Al-Qaida abides by the Geneva Convention and normally wouldn't have subject American soldiers to torture -- or any other prisoners for that matter. It's only because of the dastardly deeds of Alberto Gonzales and John Ashcroft that the terrorists behave so badly.

That's where my sociopath comment came from; these people no longer have a place in any real society. No wonder the anarchists love them so much, no wonder they root for the murderers.

59 Demosophist  Tue, Jun 20, 2006 5:58:47am
No way does a member of any society make a statement like that without identifying himself as a sociopath, and I mean that quite literally.

Before he became too ill to write or speak the legendary political sociologist, Seymour Martin Lipset, predicted that the next revolutionary political movement in the US would be a leftist anarchy movement. The irony is between the term "movement" and "anarchy", which is supposed to make the individual sovereign. But the primary shift within the left has been from individual rights (mostly positive economic rights) to "group rights" which, rather ironically, fuels the anarchists' intensity.

Brent (#16) is correct, that these are the words of a sociapath, but it also looks to be a growing group pathology.

Hey, don't these asses remember Vietnam circa 1975? We leave so the "liberators" can win and install a "liberal" regime. So...how many thousands were slaughtered by the Commies and how many more were tortured and brutalized in "re-education camps?" Why do any of these butt wipes think anything else would happen if we left now? Cut and run produces: 1) a defeat for the U.S. military, 2) a "win" for the libs; and 3) a civil war for the people of Iraq. That civil war probably puts Iran in charge since the Shiites are the majority and may ally themselves with their co-religionists in Iran in the event of civil war. The Shiites would probably ethnically cleanse "Shia" territory, as would the Kurds in the north. Then the Sunnis would have to call for help from Syria and Saudi Arabia. Then asses like Murtha would say, ah well, let them have at it but keep our guys out. I hope he has a windmill in his front yard and a solar cell for his new car engine!

As hard as the cruel deaths of these brave soldiers are to accept, there is one ray of light in all this:

They knew if they kept these soldiers alive and tried to use them for propaganda purposes, we would have relentlessly hunted them down, just as we hunted down Zarqawi.

So they got rid of them quickly. Of course, they took time to indulge their barbaric impulses first. Sick scum.

The leftist kooks have highjacked the term "liberal".

George Clooney even said so, himself.

The leftist kooks have also highjacked the Democratic party.

I am a rare conservative in my family, whom most have voted Dem for decades, with the exception of voting for Reagan.

I have one sister who agree's with slime like "kos", but for the rest, they are sickened by what the leftist kooks have done to the Democratic party, and most are starting to wake up to the fact, that the leftist kooks, are a very real danger to America.

When they see, and hear things, like what "kos" stands for, many of them talk about not voting Dem anymore.

So, I believe it is good for conservative causes, for idiots like "kos", to keep spewing their American hatred, their hatred of our troops, their hatred of our military,and their hatred of anyone who doesn't "sign on" to their twisted, dangerous leftist kook idiology.

As long as they are tied together with Democrats, the Dems will continue to lose major elections.

Watch, and see.

The "kos", and most other kooks like them, are why "liberals" are looked at as they are today, because they are not "liberal" anymore, they are leftist kooks!

The "kos" continually insures that.

78 ManInBlack  Tue, Jun 20, 2006 6:05:22am

The fact that these soliders were not kept longer to get the maximum amount of media coverage means that the terrorists are on the run over there. Had Zarqawi been alive and able to function these men would have been kept and tortured for days with dozens of tapes sent to Al'Jazeera.

As it stands they were killed and dumped as fast as the terrorists could get rid of them. Thats a sign to me that we have them on the run.

My heart goes out to their families.

This is made even more clear by the recent remarks made by Kos himself on CNN

So never forget that John Kerry(D), Barbara Boxer(D), Howard Dean(D), Harry Reid(D), Tom Vilsack(D), Joe Trippi(D), Wesley Clark(D), Hillary Clinton(D), Mark Warner(D)... all associate with the anti-Semitic, Anti-American, Kos-sacks.

Murtha is a political opportunist who saw an opening for his career, and seized it. Lest we forget, he already announced he is running for House Majority Leader, should the Dems take the House in 2006. All his moves have been carefully strategized.

With resepct to the sentiments expressed by the Kos kids, I think I speak for all of us when I say, "Huh?"

Do they actually think that we started the cycle of violence and this is mere payback? Again, few people over at Kos know history and those that do subscribe to a revisionist view where the US is always the bad guy- even in WWII.

The Kos kids want us to NOT follow the Geneva Convnetion? Fine. We treat the terrorists the same way they treat us, and not just putting panties on their head and making them wear dog collars (which, I believe, is something some of the Kos kids do every Saturday night)

Also, that is a good example of seditious speech at the top of this thread.

DUBAI (Reuters) - The new leader of al Qaeda in Iraq "slit the throats" of two U.S. soldiers whose bodies were found in Baghdad, according to a statement posted on the Internet on Tuesday.

There's no immediate way to verify this claim, but let's just say that Abu Hamza al-Muhajir's tenure with Al Qaeda in Iraq won't be nearly as long or illustrious as Zarqawi's. If there's a higher position than #1 on our (s)hit list, Muhajir has just attained it. We should hope this a**wipe keeps himself ritually clean in his nether regions, because we've got a "Hellfire Colonic" in store for him.

Instead, they apparently butchered our guys and did nothing more than create a hunger for revenge within our Marines and soldiers they simply will not be able to believe.

I would not want to be a terrorist in Iraq right now because the world is going to fall on them courtesy of the United States military. Expect the number of terrorists killed in Iraq to go up significantly over the next couple of days and weeks.

______________

Fellow LGFers, before we gloat and grin too broadly, it would be child's play to cherry-pick the posts here at LGF, and come up with all sorts that show the Idiocy of the Neocons, so to speak. Trivial.

Let's face it: we all (and I especially, it seems) get an urge at times to wax poetic in our posts. So?

The bottom line is that the sanguine pool of Libs over at Kos truely feel that we are in a quagmire, in Iraq in particular in error and against our country's founding principles. On some level, I do too wonder whether we're accomplishing all that we could be: it seems to me that our hands are self-tied in many ways, trying so damned hard to avoid 'war crimes', which have, like high-school GPAs, inflated to include almost anything a soldier does in violence.

And Kos Kidz wax poetic. OK. It is amusing, and I am happy that Charles occasionally displays one of the more GQ Kos fishies that his dragnet sweeps in. Amusing.

I note in the rhetoric though the 'dehumanizing' that gives the words legs: this administration, harkening back to a '1984' Orwellian / 13 Monkeys / Blade Runner type faceless, Germanic, authoritarian, rule-bound, inflexible group of people, compared to "Our President and his cabinet", which sounds human, humane, just the opposite. Are we occasionally guilty of the same rhetorical props? Actually I think we are just as prone to selective casting. Just from a different position.

A conversation with a group of Europeans and Asians the other day was very revealing about the non-American's view of our pretensions. In a nutshell, the world is by-and-large confused about America. It seems to them that we're forever fighting internally over every issue, large and small. They wonder how such a great economic and cultural nation could ever have gotten 'here' with such institutionalized squabbling.

I replied: that's just it, you see! Virtually all positions demand the test of viewing the politic from the opposite, or at least a tangential view. Americans, by and large came from a stock of Europeans that were bold, courageous and gutsy enough to pack themselves into ships and emmigrate to the New Land, their own not quite seeming to offer either enough opportunity, or room, or freedom for their eccentricities to flourish. So, we argue about everything. And it is good, and from this has come America.

Have a good afternoon!

And remember - we too are like the Kos Kidz in our own charming way.

Let me get this straight, al Qaeda, which had no problem sending bombers to blow up two US embassies murdering hundreds of people, 19 hijackers to attack the US and killed nearly 3,000 people in the process - some of whom jumped more than 1,000 feet to their death to avoid being overcome by fire and smoke, and routinely engaged in beheading their victims somehow decided upon torturing these two soldiers because of US actions?

Are you kidding me? What kind of lunacy are the Kossacks engaging in? These terrorists are barbarians, pure and simple and have been dealing in this kind of violence for years. It has nothing to do with what kind of harsh treatment the US might be engaging in with detainees (and I'd like to know what kind of treatment would be acceptable to anyone seeking intel from detainees - as even harsh language appears to be inappropriate according to that bunch).

It has everything to do with Islamists engaging in their own brand of justice - submit to Islam or die. Anyone, from civilians in the WTC to soldiers on the battlefield, are fair game for their barbarism.

After all, this is the same group that routinely hides behind civilian populations to carry out their terrorist acts, knowing that the US will refrain from firing out of respect for human lives, which the terrorists so callously disregard.

I don't blame her for lashing out, I blame the Today show who obviously went searching for just such comment and person. To the relative who made the comments, as much as we plan we are fighting a determined enemy who also makes plans. Things like this don't happen by accident. Do not disparage those who were there and at least one who gave his life trying to fight back the terrorists. It is tragic and once you have had time to grieve I trust you will understand that the blame lies with the terrorists who if they were not determined to wage a war using terror as a weapon none of this would be happening.
To the brass in the Army you guys better get the 1/502nd out of the area and back to location away from this.

I heard over the news that the two soldiers were tortured before they were killed. This took me back to the summer of 1999 at Kargil.

During the winter, it is an unwritten law that the soldiers are pulled back from Siachen, the highest battleground in the world. But during the winter of 1998, when the Indian soldiers were back in the barracks, a few Pakistani soldiers aided by hundreds of mujahadeens occupied positions on the Indian side of Jammu and Kashmir, and had their guns trained on the Jammu-Srinagar highway.
In summer, when the Indian troops started their ascent to the forward posts, they came under fire from above. The deposed Nawaz Sharif was the PM and the present "greatest ally on the WOT" Musharraf was the Army Chief in Pakistan at that time.
Nearly 400 Indian soldiers were massacred in this surprise attack. The worst to suffer was a Lieutenant Colonel by name Saurabh Shukla. He was tortured and his testicles were cut out and stuffed in his mouth. The Americans might be ignorant of this, but that is the favorite sign-off of the Muslims.
Though it revulsed the Indians, it only strengthened the resolve. The Indian PM ordered the Indian Air Force to blow the Islamists to smithereens. The Islamists definitely did not think that the Indians would do that.
The Islamists were just massacred by the missiles fired by the IAF, leading to the famous rush to Washington by Nawaz Sharif to meet President Clinton on July 4, 1999.
To this day poor Sharif claims that he was ignorant of the Kargil attack, which it seems was planned and executed by Musharaff.
The outcome of Kargil was the greatest irony of all. Sharif was deposed and Musharaff became the HOS in Pakistan.
Now is not the time to cut and run, but to show more resolve in Iraq.

I can see some of the inscriptions on the bombs right now, which will eventually hit the "new #1" in Iraq, and as many more as they produce.

"This is cause the "kos" loves you"

"Here's to your "freedom fighters"

"Here's to you and your supporters at the "kos""

This cannot stand. We cannot allow this administration and its incomprehensible defense of and support for torture in violation of the “quaint” Geneva Conventions to remain.

The chickens have come home to roost.

This implies that these tortures of our soldiers are a direct result of Abu Ghraib, Gitmo or other accusations of institutional "torture" leveled against us by Leftists.

In one sense, they're correct. The Left's relentless effort to paint American soldiers as complicit in "torture" has emboldened the enemy to commit actual atrocities.

But, um, f^cktards? The terrorists were beheading and torturing people BEFORE Abu Ghraib... and Gitmo... and the Crusades... and they’ll continue to do it until we take them off the streets and put them in places like Gitmo-- or outright kill them. My preference is always option B.

But the "reality based" implication that these killings were retaliatory ignores the role (say) Murtha plays as a Congressional cheerleader for the enemy. The time for tolerating such hate speech against American soldiers is at an end.

Did I miss something? When did the Moslems sign on to the Geneva Convention?

Aye, the terrorists we are fighting are not signatories, therefore not entitled to any GC protections.

But even if they were signers, they are guilty of several actions specifically spelled out in the GC as removing from them any protections of the GC.

Not wearing uniforms is the most apparent but hardly the only one or even the most grievous.

They target civilians. They take no effort to remove their war efforts from civilian populations. They use hospitals, ambulances, and of course religious bulidings as platforms from which they wage war. Their treatment of prisoners is so far beyond the pale it dignifies their treatment too much to even begin listing how it falls short of GC standards.

We just had a motorcycle rally, in honor and memory of all who have lost their lives in the Middle East, and to all who are serving, and sacrificing.

There were over 50,000 bikes last Saturday, who all rode to the local "Middle East Conflicts wall", where the names of all who have lost their lives names are etched on wall panels.

I have found Casy Sheehans name on it, and just so you know, I have given Casey's memory, and life, the respect that his own mother has never once given him.

There was not ONE single case of "anti-war" protesting at any point throughout the ride, and all who I talked with, support our troops, unconditionally!

The only complaints that I heard, all through the day, was of the anti-war nutjobs, the anti-war politicians, and the most common comment, was, if you don't love America, then go live in France!

It was great to see, and be part of that kind of Patriotism, and, regardless of what any msm says, or does, I am certain that the great majority of Americans feel the same way, and that the polls are seriously skewed!

We loyal, patriotic, GOD loving, country loving people, just keep going about the business of living, the AMERICAN way, fully supporting our troops, while the leftist kooks, and the msm keep going in the opposite direction.

It will be revealed, in spite of the left!

The Nature of the enemy is that this is who they are. This is what they do. They authorized themselves to make war against the United States, to say they are not signatories to the Geneva Convention is an understatement.

The fact is that any US soldier unfortunate to fall into enemy hands will be killed unless they can escape or get rescued first. Because of the nature of who we fight, that is how this war will be fought.

DUers and KOSers will attempt to rationalize this all away but the Osama declared the Jihad, blew up the Embassies and blew up the Cole then he went downtown. He turned innocent Kenyans into burned meat with same indifference that permitted him to use civilian passenger airliners as his missilies.

He broadcasts his atrocities over the net because he wants his followers to be bloody minded and desensitized to human suffering before they do their own bit of nastiness.

The US did not start this barbaric war and the US has done nothing to make it more barbaric.

I think the right road in this war is the course of honor. Ban all torture. Pass a law that all crimes of torture in the war be judged by civilian juries in New York and DC. Any US soldier who wishes to commit torture will be expelled from the Army but is free to argue their actions were justified to a US jury. If their acts were done for no reason and overly cruel, off they go to jail; if they acted to save lives with extenuating citizens then the juries will accept their arguments and acquit.

When human rights advocates argue that the US must not be in the business of torture, morally they are right. We can make the law address reality, take torture out of US policy and have an Army focused first on fighting and defending the national honor with soldiers who know they may use their judgment. It will cost them their careers. But I never knew a soldier who did not put the nation ahead of themselves. This policy would end torture.

Osama and his gang of throat cutters only have one policy; they can find their honor in hell.

there has to be a realignment. The Demcratic Party as it once was is gone forever.

Parties come, parties go. The Whigs and Federalists will testify to that.

The Democrats have strayed way too far into left field, and have been taken over by the kinds of people who make up Canada's New Democratic party.. a group that is out there on teh fringes politically, and stands no chance whatsoever of ever forming a government here.

The Democrats have reached that same point of no return.

The Democrats were hijacked, and good people did nothing. When someone like Howard Dean, whom we canadians know all to well, living on the border with Vermont, became National Chairman, it was a sign that it was "Game Over".
the realignment would have happened in 1992 IF Ross perot had not dropped out of the race, then jumped back in. I think he might have won, but even if he hadn't, the Reform party would be a force to be reckoned with.

I realize that there would be certain political assassinations, and that might take place. And I think when you balance that against the fact that the United States has now accounted for some 18,600 people through its own Phoenix program, which is a program of assassination, and when you balance that off against the morality of the kind of bombing we've been doing in Laos and the kind of destruction wholesale of the country of -------, which amounts to some 155,000 civilians a year killed, then I think to talk about four or five thousand people is lunacy in terms of the overall argument and what we're seeking in Southeast Asia.[xiv"

Clinton ran as a moderate to win the presidency. Once he did, he took a hard left turn and governed from left. In fact, he and Hillary's plan to nationalize one seventh of the US economy was so alarming to the voting public that they the Republicans took the House in '94. They prevented him, to the extent possible, from governing from as far left as he (and Hillary) wanted to thereafter.

Hillary is as far left as the Kossacks and the DUers. She just knows that she cannot get elected by appearing so, so she tried to create the image of being a moderate by supporting the war.

When she's challenged, she drapes the "cloak of infallibility" : "People are intimidated by women." Not, "Even though I am a lawyer and my career has been in Law, I give a rats nest for abiding by it."
Bill Clinton many times used the term "Co-Presidents" There is NOTHING in the Constitution that permits that. Hillary wants raw power and doesn't care how she gets it.

I completly disagree with you, on that.

The President's plan, has always been, that when the Iraqi's standup, we will back down.

You can't put the "complete" plan in front of the public, why that would be suicide!

Because of the msm, the enemy has had every oppurtunity to match nearly every battle plan, because the msm gave the enemy the heads up, sometimes weeks befor a particular battle would take place.

One of the few exceptions, was Zarqawi.

Saddam was removed in less than two weeks!

The insurgency of Al-Quada was certainly underestimated, but there have been mistakes made in every war.

In WWII, the USA lost over 50,000 soldiers, in one day, in one battle.

Did we cut and run?

No!

If the modern msm, and the modern leftist kook Democrat had the voice then, that they have today, WWII would most certainly have turned out differntly.

The plan has always been, since the insurgency, to step down more and more, as the Iraqi's stand up.

That has been going on continuously, unfortunatly, you can't seem to find any of those positives in the msm.

There has been a clear plan, unfortunatly, some politicians, and all of the msm, fail to ever acknowledge this.

That is why I don't pay any attention to any msm.

But other things that need changing...

1) We need to get rid of the graft to Halliburton and other companies. The money allocated to contractors needs to be under greater scrutiny, thereby ensuring money is not wasted in Iraq.

2) The money saved from paying graft in Iraq should go to paying higher salaries to the troops.

3) National initiative to become energy independent.

4) National initiative to learn Arabic/Farsi.

5) Have clear, set standards for what is torture and what is not, so soldiers will not be presented with moral quagmires.

6) Increase troop levels in Iraq.

7) Better equip the troops, so they have what they need to win the war.

8) Assure civil liberties are safe at home, so there is an America to come back to.

Thanks...the first post was a complete lash-out. It feels unfair sometimes because I'm in about as safe a place as there is in Iraq and those boys pulled a tough assignment.

One thing no one knows is how many of the enemy bought tickets to hell in the firefight.

Earlier someone posted about Zark's successor...who just signed his death warrant.

We're still going to win. The terrorists only scored a minor PR victory, but one that will cost them dearly.

Trust me, we're hitting back. And the Iraqis are too.


Thank you! We know we are. American soldiers are NOT pansies and are not unnerved by something like this. They are steeled. They knew this sort of thing can happen any day. The fact that it hasn't happened as much as the enemy would like it to happen shows how well our military is organized.

For the cringers: Did the US Army crumble when they heard of the massacre of US troops by Germans at the start of what we know now as the Battle of the Bulge? What about the wholesale massacre of US troops by the Japanese who believed surrender was weakness. We beat them - the Germans and the Japanese - two completely different cultures of war and totalitarianism - beat them on both sides of the globe.

I have had some scary thoughts about a Hillary win.

We are in a war against Islam. How do the Islamists feel about women? How do you think they would feel about a non-burkha wearing woman leading the Great Satan and Bill being the First Lady?

Also, as the first woman president, she would want to leave a legacy of not being weak, as a woman and a democrat. What would she do if another attack happened in the U.S.? Would she unleash the nukes? (This could be good or bad, but it just some thoughts I had).

225 Cato the Elder  Tue, Jun 20, 2006 7:15:44am

What's quaint is the Left's curious belief that everything that happens in the world, any evil committed by anyone anywhere, is always in direct reply to something we did wrong. It's always, always, always America's fault. That goes for beheadings in Iraq as well as for, of course, 9/11. If we would just behave ourselves, nobody would even get the idea of doing harm, ever again.

Naturally, the same goes triple for Israel.

Quaint is also a would-be writer who doesn't know the difference between "sew" and "sow."

Furthermore, American troops fight side by side with British troops, who have no discriminatory policy against gay people.

The troops are very used to fighting side by side with gay people. There is no "social experiment" involved with getting rid of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and making gayness a non-issue with the military.

Just one comment: If GW and the Republicans have no definite plan to win the war (which implies that we are not winning it), then why did Zarqawi, as evidenced by the papers we captured after killing him, think that WE WERE AND ARE WINNING IT?!

The leftist kooks, the msm, and people like the "daily Kos", are every bit as much the enemy, as the islamic slime that you are fighting against over there.

We WILL prevail!

GOD BLess, please tell ALL, that we support you 100%, and we are praying constantly, and hoping for your safe return, after the job is turned over to the Iraqi's!

) We need to get rid of the graft to Halliburton and other companies. The money allocated to contractors needs to be under greater scrutiny, thereby ensuring money is not wasted in Iraq.
I supervise the operations of some 425 KBR employees and 134 laborers at 19 locations across Iraq. They are worth every cent and I have spent countless hours cutting costs, jobs, and work out of the contract. If you think there's no scrutiny...too bad. Keep holding your breath, you'll pass out soon and I'll still be here slogging away at the costs.


2) The money saved from paying graft in Iraq should go to paying higher salaries to the troops. Amen Sister!

3) National initiative to become energy independent. No arguement, but if there were a viable way, some Bill Gates - type would already be scrubbing his arse with 100s. Give me a solution, not a dream. Government funding of research isn't the answer, the market is.

4) National initiative to learn Arabic/Farsi. Good idea, but it won't stop the Islamist nutjobs. I'll just understand them as they saw my freakin head off.

5) Have clear, set standards for what is torture and what is not, so soldiers will not be presented with moral quagmires. Oh, don't go there. What we've done is barely worse than Frat pranks I've suffered (and dished out). Hard techniques work.

6) Increase troop levels in Iraq. NO! Reduce (when appropriate). It's not as bad as you think! Really! The Iraqis are doing so much! Just like a freakin' lib to do to the nacent Iraqi Army what would undermine it the most. Yeah, tell ARAB MEN that they need more help...we'll gut their pride and embarass them. It's amazing how poorly "multiculturalists" understand the motivations of the people over here.

7) Better equip the troops, so they have what they need to win the war. Best equiped army in the WORLD in any day, age, or....EVER.

8) Assure civil liberties are safe at home, so there is an America to come back to. The only thing the feds are going to hear listening to my phone calls home are a lot of encouragement and love (and the occational naughty fun words between my wife and I). I feel pretty secure that America will still be there for me.

8) Fire those who have proven incompetent. (aka Rumsfeld) I'm no fan of Rummy, but he's not incompetent. I want him gone because I think there are better people for the job. Not holding my breath.

3. Sugar ethanol is an idea. But the bottom line is I am not a scientist. Scientists should be figuring this out.

4. We need to learn Arabic/Farsi so we can understand what the enemy is saying, and be better able to communicate with them. Same reason so many people took up Russian during the Cold War.

3) Government funding for science has been a tremendous boon in the past. There are market failures.

4) If more people can speak Arabic/Farsi, then Americans will at least better be able to communicate our message, and understand their message. I think that's key.

6) My belief is to increase troop levels only until the region is fully secured, and THEN decrease troop levels.

7) The army may be better equipped than it's been before, but there still are many ways in which it is lacking - such as body armor.

8) I believe that we can fight the war and keep our civil liberties, and that the Patriot Act is not necessary to fighting the war on terror.

Last night ABC Nightline schmoozed 3 beefy muscly english "lads"/jihadists who'd been detained at Guantanamo--for NO REASON while they were innocently visiting Afghanistan or Pakistani training camps on humanitarian missions no doubt, according to ABC and the "lads"!

ABC interviewers' sickening leading questions and overidentification with these notorious three, called something like the Clinton Three in a movie about their "ordeal", was beyond disgusting--knowing we were desperately seeking two real innocent Army guys abroad.

While ABC is kissing jihadi heiny, America's decent soldiers kidnapped while helping Iraqis establish security in their formerly terrorist-run country are tortured & beheaded.

ABC yawns over lfy-over country infidels' fates while ABC embraces menacing anti-Western GITMO graduates.

You have consitantly applied one set of standards for the USA, regardless of what any other country does, or doesn't do.

If you, and the rest of the world demands that the USA apply to some "set" standard, then the rest of the world needs to apply the same!

Example,

islam, (rop) can behead people at will, and nobody, with the exception of the USA protests.

Not the U.N.!
Not Amnesty International!
Not Human Rights Watch!
Not ANY leftist kooks!

But a tiny, tiny, tiny number of US military, like 0.000000000000000000014%, make very bad decisions, have ALL, or will ALL be punished accordingly, and you, and the rest of the world, cry "FOUL"!

One of my best is an animal for statistical analysis. He can squeeze a spreadsheet until it cries. (Torture of inanimate Microsoft (tm) products is sanctioned by the Army)

We pulled the contract apart letter by letter and cut out about 8 million/month on various items.

We kept paying what we were for other things and have made the mission more efficient. Based on who's statician you want to believe KBR Trucks have pulled three to five times as much cargo this year compared to last year.

We piss KBR off daily by contracting support that they were doing or could do to local vendors. Yes, Iraqis work for Uncle Sam in many ways that are not day-labor jobs.

I am very pro-gun, as long as whoever owns a firearm, is not a felon, and uses their firearms safely.

Hillary has voted FOR every gun-control legislation ever put before her, and it has been proven, that criminals, and those who intend to cause harm with firearms, don't obey ANY gun laws, period.

Hillary's ANTI-gun politics, ONLY affect law abiding, rightfull firearm owners, and never affect ANY criminals.

I am very anti-abortion, on demand, for birth control, with the exceptions of rape, incest, or the ACTUALL health of the mother.

Hillary, has voted pro-abortion with, I believe, no exception, including the barbaric "partial birth" abortion, which is allowed as long as at least one toe of the HUMAN BEING, with a HUMAN SOUL baby is still inside the mother.

Hillary is pro-tax, and she has come right out, and said, "we are going to take from you, for the good of the many", and you, if you live in NY, should know a thing or two about super high, unfair taxes.

I say give to any who truly need it, but those who have been milking the system for decades, need to go to work.

Hillary wants specificly those, who are "milkers", to be given money from the "rich", anyone making over $50,000 per year.

I can type until tommorow morning, if you'd like more.

I'm pretty sure, knowing what I know of you, that you are for a "womans right to choose", but I look at it for what is really at stake, a HUMAN SOUL", and a person is either for, or against abortion.

Yes, I know some excellent Iranian Americans. They are definitely non-Idiotarians. I should have clarified the circumstances of my story.

I took a teaching course at the U of San Fran in the 70s, BEFORE the Shah was overthrown. My roomie was engaged to an Iranian. As a consequence, I met several Iranian men (my roomie was an amateur yenta). I gave up on them.

One was sneaky.
One was grabby (he got the elbow - my daddy was a wrestling coach, and he taught me how to break holds - both legally and otherwise).
One was much too dominant for little ole me (he was cute, though).

I realized they didn't listen to a word I said. Also, they were disingenuous. And - my roomie's fiance was bossy to her and made her cry. I warned him that she was an American woman, but I doubt he listened.

I was one of those Russian linguists trained at Anacostia Naval Complex in Washington, DC in 1970-71, then sent to the East German Border to listen (and more) with British Intelligence, USASA, USAF, NSA, and other intel types. While in training, we were also "associated with" the Voice of America, which broadcasted Russian language world news, pro-American messages, and rock 'n roll music into the Soviet Union and Eastern bloc. Our war with communism was (and is) a war against Godlessness. With America's current technology, we should bathe the muslim world with tv and radio waves carrying message of truth, justice, and the American way. We should own the technology and media access of the [bigoted word]s (TM). Any country (Russia, France, China) who provides technology should feel the full measure of our displeasure and recognition of them as members of the Axis of Evil (patent pending). America's churches could "deep-water baptize" the islamic world with the message of Jesus and His Love. This war should move to a relentless media and information attack. We should be jamming their media at every opportunity. They should receive every possible worm, virus, and trojan-horse to destroy their access to the internet. As in the Cold War, we should attack their culture of intolerance and enslavement. Huge quantities of Playboy magazines, rock 'n roll music, Jack Daniels whiskey, pork rinds (bbq flavored, of course), bikinis and hotpants, and other American things of beauty and freedom should be distributed to undermine the grasp this evil has on so many, just as we did in the Cold War. Every time a muslim hears the name mohammed (piss be upon him), they should be bombarded with messages of truth, freedom, God's Love, America's greatness, and any other words that demonstrate the evil darkness that is islam. We should grab them by their ignorant throats, drive the truth in deeply, and break it off. Drive them all back into their stoneage caves and desert ents. Suck out every drop of oil and let them eat sand. This is a war of information cross-dressing as a war of terror. Mind control, brain-washing, information overload...whatever it takes.

Iraqi Mansur Suleiman al-Mashhadani was killed on Friday by US forces in Yusifiyah, south of Baghdad, not far from where two US soldiers were abducted the same day and found dead on Monday, said Major General William Caldwell, spokesperson of US-led coalition forces.

islam

They keep portraying the problem as President Bush, Conservatives and America.

I have heard many of the arguments, that, "it's not islam, it, terrorism, and "terrorism isn't islam, they are really a peaceful people, if you can get past the beheadings, and shooting woman in the head in soccer fields for showing a patch of skin on their ankles, and the fact that they want to, BY EVERY FORM OF DECEPTION AND FORCE want to shove islam down the throats of "unbelievers and infidels", that is, if your head is still attached.

4) If more people can speak Arabic/Farsi, then Americans will at least better be able to communicate our message, and understand their message. I think that's key.


More liberal "feel good" drivel. Does the repression of liberty and freedom under sharia become less objectionable because one can speak Farsi? What is there to understand about jihadists except that their culture is rooted in the past with little desire to change. Suggesting they modernize and accept radical Western values like women's rights is not looked at kindly in the Muslim world, even if you were to ask in Farsi.

6) My belief is to increase troop levels only until the region is fully secured, and THEN decrease troop levels.

I would rather trust the military leadership to decide these matters, they have the training and experience for it. Or have you been sitting in with the Joint Chiefs lately and have an informed opinion?

There may be "millions" of Muslims, who aren't "islamic", but there are most certainly not "billions" who follow the same Quaran that Bin Laden and Zarqawi follow/followed, and don't do what is demanded they do, to be true islamics!

I'm not going to debate this anymore with you, islam is an outright evil religion, and the actions of those who follow it, are all the proof I need.

I guess you want me to believe that "kill the unbelievers wherever they are" and "move in among them, deceive them, pretend you are their friends, then, when the sacred years of peace are over, kill the unbeleivers and infidels, wherever they are", or the other 58 times in the Quaran where it instructs "true believers" to "kill the unbelievers" as some kind of "loose translation"

US claims to have killed al-Zarqawi's right-hand man

The United States military said on Tuesday it had killed the "right-hand man" of slain al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, describing him as someone who could have succeeded the Jordanian-born militant.

Iraqi Mansur Suleiman al-Mashhadani was killed on Friday by US forces in Yusifiyah, south of Baghdad, not far from where two US soldiers were abducted the same day and found dead on Monday, said Major General William Caldwell, spokesperson of US-led coalition forces.

The object of mental warfare with iconoclastic items (including #349 Catttt's excellent comic book suggestion) is to destablize the control of the mullah's, not to set up a profit center for capitalism. I could give a damn if they accept the American way of life.

I had a conversation online with my son in Iraq about a battle he was witnessing between al quaeda & the iraqi army. He was on guard tower duty at FOB Paliwoda outside Balad. He described the explosions and flashes in the distance he saw. I asked him if his unit went out to engage, and he said: "No, Dad, I just sat back and drank my Gatorade". I then asked him who he hoped won the battle, and he said: "I hope they kill each other.". He told me: "Half the iraqi army is crooked and the other half isn't worth a shit.". He fully understands that we cannot win the hearts and minds of people whose belief system requires an eternal war to subjugate or kill anyone who rejects their "religion of piss" (copyrighted 622 Christian Era). In practical terms, the choices for us in Western civilzation are (1) Destroy their belief system, or (2) Kill them before they kill us. Does anyone see a third path that does not include appeasement and submission?

And how exactly does the Gonzalez memo render Kos droolings less offensive?

But the "reality based" implication that these killings were retaliatory ignores the role Murtha plays (and his Dem allies apes) cheerleading for the enemy. The time for tolerating such hate speech against American soldiers is at an end.

This unit was involved in the big air assault operation back in January as well the same one that yesterday had 3 of their own arrested for murder.

When they cut your head off first are you going to "squat naked, shitting yourself" These stupid assholes even try to say that the Nazi's and imperial japanese treated their P.O.W.'s like royalty. You filthy pieces of shit suck the tit of America's freedom and only insult it for your thanks.

Some of our troops are being tried for murder, yet, the msm, and the leftist kooks, portray the murderous islamic thugs as "freedom fighters", and in doing so, embolden the islamic murderous thugs even more, if you can imagine that.

Talking points of, the msm, leftist kooks, "daily kos", bin laden, zarqawi, beheaders, leftist kook Hillary, leftist kook Algore, leftist kook Kerry, leftist kook Murtha, Zawhari, islamic terrorists worldwide, etc, all sound EXACTLY the same!

News on tv is that the mutilation of the bodies of PFC Kristian Menchaca and PFC Thomas L. Tucker will necessitate DNA analysis to confirm identity. The bodies were booby-trapped with explosives requiring 12 hours for our explosive experts to dismantle. There was one explosion in the process, and, fortunately, none of our personnel were injured.

PFC Menchaca leaves behind his young wife, whom he married just weeks before his deployment to iraq. PFC Tucker left a recorded message to his family asking them to be proud of him and his fight for freedom, our's and iraq's. How many times can our hearts be so broken without our tears washing away any sympathy for the any muslim's pain? Vengeance is The Lord's; I pray the American military will be His instrument.

Where are these hundreds of millions of "peaceful followers of mohammed" (piss be upon him)? They are Snoopy dancing around the fire like the degenerated humanity in "Lord of the Flies". God has never wavered from His definition of evil and the consequences of choosing that broad path to destruction eternal. Those of us who believe in Jesus The Christ, have faith that God's judgment will be visited on each of us. Christians are directed to love their enemies, but are not required to submit to, retreat from, or to accept the evil acts they do. Like #385 republic, my soul is secure. I know the outcome already.

FOX has more on the vital mission these guys were part of;

Al Qaeda in Iraq Leader Killed in Airstrike Near Where U.S. Troops Went Missing

A key Al Qaeda in Iraq leader described as the group's "religious emir" was killed in a U.S. airstrike hours before two American soldiers went missing and in the same area, the military said Tuesday.

Mansour Suleiman Mansour Khalifi al-Mashhadani, or Sheik Mansour, and two foreign fighters were killed as they tried to flee in a vehicle near the town of Youssifiyah, in the so-called Sunni "Triangle of Death."

U.S. coalition forces had been tracking al-Mashhadani for some time, American military spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said in announcing his death. He said al-Mashhadani was an Iraqi, 35 to 37 years old, and that one of the men killed with him was an Al Qaeda cell leader identified as Abu Tariq.

Why isn't this victory being reported as part of the story?

God has always commanded His warriors to send His enemies back for final disposition, that is, when He hasn't chosen to provide express transportation Himself! Like I tell my children, Love is not all fluffy and mushy; it is hard as rock, has no reverse gear, and will not be moved by sympathy, emotion, or what passes for enlightenment. Love is a decision you make that makes you a force of nature - His nature. To be Godly, is to be as unrelenting as He against evil, and to be as creative, free, joyous, and generous as He.

Not being a believer that their allah and mohammed can deliver on a single one of their promises, anymore than any American politician will deliver on their's, it is irrelevant to me what empty promise is used to lure the weak minded to their death cult. They remind me of the many people I've know who, glassy eyed, go to "Lost Wages, believe they can win a fortune, and, broke and a loser, come home and lie about their "big winnings" to avoid the truth of their stupidity becoming public knowledge.

And, not being an Arabic linguist, I'm still conflicted over the 72 "what's its" - virgins, raisins -- oh, whatever! Send in more Marines to arrange transportation and let God sort it out.

And, yes, loving them would justify helping them achieve their hearts' desire - to see God. Just as P.T Barnum said that it is immoral to allow a sucker to keep his money, it is immoral to allow a jihadist to keep his life.

His next several paragraphs are insane rantings against his hated boogeymen- RummyBushMchalliburtoncheney et al. I.e., hes more concerned now about scoring political points than he is about the brave soldiers and their greiving families.

Finally, he throws in a word of faux condolence to establish "credibility" for he and his totally fucking insane Democrat vulture scumbag friends.

OR

2. Being made to dance naked, except for wearing you own on your head, in front of pointing others from the opposite sex?

As usual, it's not the KOS crowd not getting it, you guys aren't getting it.

Even if none of the torture scandals had happened, even if plenty of prisioners hadn't died under suspicious circumstances, beaten, suffocated and the like, even if the US military and the mercenaries were treating the Iraqi civilians with kid gloves (don't even try to tell me they are), and that did not change the terrorists behaviour, and they still captured, tortured and beheaded anyway, then at least the American military and the pentagon would be standing on the moral highground, able to retaliate properly and demonstrate to the world that THEY do these things, WE don't.

Guess what, America, Bush, Gonzales, and Yoo fucking threw that all away when they did away with the geneva conventions and redifined torture.

Guess what? Unless you can prove the torture that happened before the beheading caused sufficient pain to mimic major organ failure, it's not *actually* torture according to their redefinition. As for the death, those were soldiers and they are an insurgency, one side kills the other side however they want. Death is death, weather with a bullet in the head or a slit throat.

I think that shit is disgusting, I think the whole endevor is disgusting and wrong, most especially the assholes that target civilians, but that's fucking war for you. Your side wanted it, you got it, and you wanted the torture too.

OK scrolling up from the V the K's post-

You were debating a few people, hearts in the right place, a little extreme in some views (of course, I used to think AI's heart was in the right place, she was just stupid, but she is mean spirited and vile, to go with the stupid). You're arguing with people expressing a conservative point of view (or an extreme version of it), you've been scarce on LGF, maybe V the K remembers the nic but not what you've posted, and draws the wrong conclusion.


I will say, while I know perfectly peaceful people who are Muslim, and probably the majority of Muslims reject terrorism and the extremes of Islam as the 'Prophet' envisioned it, Saudi style Salafism sounds like it is pretty close to the original intent of Mohammad, although I'm not sure even Mohammad wanted his woman in burlap sacks, and thanks to the oil money, the Saudi style of Islam is overshadowing the more peaceful variants of Islam.


While I reject the shriekers idea of deporting all Muslims, I think the US would do well to tightly limit immigration from Islamic countries, with, of course, exceptions for people facing persecution under Islam (genital mutilation, forced childhood marriages, apostates, homosexuals), such that we can assimilate our Muslim immigrants,

I've seen Muslim men in traditional garb, with kids wearing western clothes and Astro's ball caps. If they don't fester in French style slums, and see the benefits of the American lifestyle, most will assimilate.

The rest, well, we'll have to lock them up if they step out of line.

First of all, I don't live in America, you should have taken the hint when I was able to put things in context properly. I support my troops, the ones in Afghanistan. Remember that whole "justified" war that everyone seems to have forgotten.

Recently one of our young men died when an afghani split his head open with an axe. And guess what, I don't care that it was an axe or a knife or an IED, a dead soldier is a dead soldier, and a cause for grief, that's not to say that I can't step back for a minute and understand the motivations of an attacker, I may not agree with them but that's another matter. It's how grownups think.

As for the niave "what torture?!?" argument, maybe you should try this neat thing called google I like to use before commenting on something I don't know about, so I don't look like an idiot. Learn to use it.

None of them have offered a rationale argument to refute my posts, or yours, though they seem to delight in being offended by them. I get what you are saying.

No original thought, no didactic element, no socratic process, no inductive or deductive reasoning, no symbolic or statistical reasoning. I haven't been to Iraq or Afghanistan, but I've had soldiers who have had 3 or more tours in both tell me about their experiences. These people are like those that think that meat comes from the grocery store and live in denial of the process of butchery.

Up the ass is exacty where islam belongs, but since I'm not "brokeback", you'll have to find someone else for your "bottom". Such high-risk behaviours have bad outcomes. Good luck with that.

Wow, gay jokes.

That really puts you head and shoulders above morons like Sara. Why don't you take my advice and seek some help, when LGF hates you and I don't even like you, your pretty high up on the unlikeability chart. I use LGF as pretty much a reverse litmus test.

Your fear of a major religion is telling. It's funny that the right wants to accuse liberals of being paranoid and discriminatory to christians, then they turn around and write off a billion people.

If the middle east moved toward a more secular, progressive style of governence (the same kind you seem to be fighting in your own country) then you wouldn't see nearly as much hardcore fundamentalism.

Just like Christianity and Catholicism, it's not the religion that's the problem, it's the literalist, fundamentalist assholes exploiting it.

#77 Why does everyone insist on calling the leftist treason party democrats? There is nothing Democratic about them.

Can't argue with well reasoned, Iron clad logic like that. I mean, They all kill themselves right? That's why there's a billion of them.
