Prattville Family Still Bitter Over Losing Soldier In Iraq Despite Death Of Al-Qaida's Top Man

24 hours ago a bitter Tiffanie Pernell couldn't make sense of it all.

"He didn't know why he was over there. Our friends don't know why he was over there," Tiffanie Pernell said on Wednesday.

Since then nothing has changed. Pernell says she still feels the same way even though coalition forces killed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Al-Qaida's top man in Iraq, the same man military officials believe was responsible for the murders of innocent people by using car bombs.

Army Sgt. Carlos Pernell was a carpenter, building homes and schools when a bomb exploded nearby Tuesday night. He died 3 hours later on the operating table.

"I don't think just because he's (al-Zarqawi) dead the killin' gonna stop. Probably get worse. That was my husband's second tour over there and he didn't know why he was over there," Pernell said.

5. Why the h*ll ain't them-there 'stockholders' over there in eye-wreck?
Oh, yeah.....nooooooooow I remember, they only 'reap' the rewards.....they don't sow, they don't sacrafice....there's PEOPLE (other people) for that.

They're just the 'reapers'....must remember this :sarcasm: :mad:


I feel very sorry for this family, especially b/c they have been 'used'/'played' by these *ssholes. Truest of intentions, have been subverted for a dishonorable cause/purpose.

9. "What nobel cause?"
That question has still not been answered. Now more grieving families will ask and not recieve an answer.
