another "beheading"

guess there will not be any RW outrage about a decapitated child.

Dispute Over U.S. Air Attack

May 19, 2004

"Associated Press Television News footage showed a truck containing bloodied bodies, many wrapped in blankets, piled one atop the other. Several were children, one of whom was decapitated. The body of a girl who appeared to be less than 5 years of age lay in a white sheet, her legs riddled with wounds and her dress soaked in blood."

3. If The "Good Guys" Pull The Trigger It's All OK, So Say The Freepers

Sure would like to see some of them running from an Apache attack helicopter.

What a great idea for a new reality TV show, Fricasseed Freeper.

Oh, but if they all died on live TV who would watch to keep the ratings up?

Have to work on the concept a little more.

But the militaray said that killing 40 people in their homes by dropping bombs on them is within their "rules of engagement."

Some might call it mass murder, but not the military.

5. As our friends in I/P will tell you- she cut off her own head

to make us look bad.

Nope, no right-wing outrage there! She was, after all, just a little brown child.

Anglo-imperialism marches on!

God. When our karma finally hits, people will run about mad, clutching their temples screaming; I only hope they come up with something better than "Why do they hate us?".

That will remain a worthless question until the day we ask ourselves: "Why do we hate them?"

8. Indeed, I hope to see the day when we will ask "Why do we hate them?"

Prior to this current insanity, the hate aspect towards "ferners" was not as well commercialized, it was simply a matter of stealing from those who couldn't defend their property -- race was of little importance, cooperation is what mattered.

Now, sadly, the hate we saw cultivated by the worst in our society towards minorities within our borders, is now being cultivated towards those beyond our borders in addition to the outright theft.

Hate is eating the world alive, and too many of the masses are gorging on that poisoned idea, unaware or uncaring of the unavoidable outcome.

6. But they will blur the genitalia of the prisoners

so as not to "offend" anyone. Like I've said on other boards, this gore, blood, and guts offends me a lot more than a naked butt. But, that is the religious Rights power over our FCC and the President.

9. The frikkin' Pentagon's completely denying it. How can they deny THAT?

Oh yeah right. They hit a bunch of "insurgents". Little kids, women.

So now little kids and women are "insurgents". And "insurgents" are "terrorists". And "terrorists" have "no soul" (according to the Resident).

Man .....When are we gonna take to the streets?

10. A shame we don't have a tape recording of the event, screams and all

So Hannity and Savage can get their rocks off playing them on the airwaves.

I'm waiting for Rush to tell the Iraqis to get over it, because the victims obviously died happy since they were celebrating at the time
