Amazes me that TV station is still on the air. Maybe it's time for some technical assistance and expertise curtusy of the US tax payer.

I think it's Arabic for "Pardon me but I'm feeling a little retarded at the moment."

 I saw a TV ad once, an egg frying in a pan. The message was ....

"This is your brain on drugs"

Saur has been pouring crap to another posters threads; is it any wonder if this goes down the crapper.
You just get what you paid for :)

Oh well; I'm sorry for the marine and his family but you know; People tend to die in wars and soldiers know the risks.

I wonder do these terrorists even themselves believe their demands would have any chances of succeeding.


Funked1,

When you fight against terrorists, you cannot fight against the innocent people... otherwise you'll be just recruiting 2 terrorists for each killed innocent civilian.
Same goes with the infrastructure... especially with the infrastructure.

Look at the israel-palestinian conflict for an example.
When they demolish buildings, they just seem to cause more desperate people, who in turn are more willing to blow themselves up in the middle of jews.

It's hard to find more dangerous person than one who believes he has no future, grows among friends alike him and wittnesses even the little they have taken away.

If they behead a Marine, may God save their souls... because the Corps will have their prettythang. How long till we get some GD order restored over there? This has got to stop.

Obviously not.  They will behead every American they can get their hands on.  The "demands" they issue are just a way of pretending that they are fighting on behalf of the Iraqi people.

No more calls please, we have a winner.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we have an intelligent man who has a firm grasp on reality, and knows that a terrorist is NOT a freedom fighter or a rebel.

There is no "if" involved. They WILL do it. I don't want God to save their souls, they should be sent where they belong, to Hell, for a treat of eternal damnation. If only they'd turn the Marines loose, and the assinine media and the freaking Democrats would STFU and let them do their job. This is a WAR, and this man will almost certainly die a horrible death. And still, his comrades will stand with their hands tied, because they will NOT be allowed to do their job and KILL these people who do this.

When will order be restored, and the terrorists stopped? I'm glad you asked. But will you listen? I think not.

This will all stop when certain moronic simpletons get behind the President and the troops. When the sophmoric idiots in the media stop flooding the airwaves with the beheadings and the bombings. When they reign in their coverage of the "abuses" in the prisons (not to excuse the behavior of a few scumbags who managed to get into the armed forces and actually committed some real abuses). When the Democrats and the media stop indentifying the President and the administration as the enemy of the free world, and start indentifying the REAL enemy, the freaking terrorists. When the stupid people stop trying their damnedest to turn this into Vietnam by undermining every single effort by the troops and the current administration, and stop creating victories for the terrorists when there are none. When the arrogant idiots understand that this is for real, that good men are dying for the safety and freedom of not only their country, but of the world itself, and stop treating this like some petty little partisan political game.

When the world as a whole learns to treat the war on terror like it did the war on the Nazis and Imperial Japan and not like it did the war on communist expansionism in Vietnam, the war will be winnable. Until then, more will die, like the ones who've already been murdered. So long as the media and the idiots with their partisan political Bravo Sierra continue in the manner they are now, the war on terror will remain unwinnable.

I do not give a damn whether you like George W. Bush or not. Criticize him all you want on domestic issues, I do it often. But this is a WAR, and you cannot expect to make every effort to destroy George W. Bush at any cost and expect to win the war on terrorism and keep the loss of life to civilians and soldiers to an absolute minimum. It ain't gonna happen that way.

I didn't want this to degrade into a Republican/Democrat mudfest, but it's pretty obvious that it's going to. I don't get the comment that the democrats are to blame for it. If I vote for Bush they will stop  beheading people?:confused:

We need order and control established so these Iraqi's I keep hearing that are so happy we rescued them can police their own. Bush's post war plan is a joke.

Hopefully we have some intel working and can find this corporal before it's too late.

Did I say you had to like Bush or you had to vote for him? No, I did not. Nor did I say voting for Bush would stop the terrorists from beheading people. You simply do not want to see the truth and the facts do you?

Listen VERY carefully. So long as the Democrats and the media attempt to undermine the efforts in Iraq and around the world against terrorism, the efforts will suffer for it. This is NOT a freaking partisan GAME, it is a WAR, and people are being MURDERED, and the enemy is encouraged and emboldened every time a certain group of supposedly intellectual jackprettythanges open their freaking mouths. This is a REAL simple concept, so long as you are half as intelligent as you seem to think you are.

Just like the fact that the U.S. WON the battle of the Tet Offensive, and yet the media and the anti war crowd proclaimed it as a profound loss for the U.S., and the North Vietnamese freely admit that were it not for the media and the war opposition in the U.S. they had been soundly defeated and would be forced to pursue an armistice.

This is NOT hard to grasp even for a group of people who claim to be so much more intelligent than most everyone else. How freaking long do you think World War II would have lasted had the media and the opposing party criticized EVERYTHING FDR did in the effort to win the war from 1941 on? Really. How long? Seriously, if the U.S. media broadcast the same sort of thing around the entire world in World War II they do today, how do youthink it would have turned out?

You simply cannot sit there and proclaim Bush and Cheney to be totally incompetent and evil idiots, and criticize every single thing they do in the war on terror and expect to win, or even have any real success. You cannot expect to vilify your leader, like him or not, and at the same time expect the enemy to respect and fear him or the forces he leads. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. Do you understand that? Do you even give a damn? This has nothing to do with Democrat vs. Republican, and everything to do with the U.S. being the good guys, and the terrorists being the bad guys. It is that freaking simple, it really is. And if you want Iraq to be stable, and the troops to come home safe, you have to grasp that one simple concept.

I just need to ask... does anyone seriously think a tactical nuke is a viable solution?

I don't. I don't even consider it as a viable option in the foreseeable future.

What would you even assign as a target for it?

There's a way to win respect.

I think your previous indignation about restoring order was in fact a slam at the current administration and not so thinly veiled. Your dishonesty is showing.

"Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said the military is working under the assumption that the Marine has been kidnapped -- but he indicates that hasn't been confirmed.

Kimmitt said the Marine had gone on an "unauthorized absence" around June 21 -- and that officials suspect he may have been heading to Lebanon. The general didn't give more details.
The Marine is a Muslim of Middle Eastern origin."

whats with this.  He was awol in Lebabon?

I saw the thugs displaying his military driver's liscense on the tube today and thought it was ironic that he has an Arab name. Is there something fishy about this, or is it the product of over-active imaginations?
