Residents, not militants, not terrorists, not "Islamic extremists," residents and citizens of Iraq dragging the burning bodies of FOUR American reconstruction contractors through the streets.... These are symbols. 9/11 Twin Towers strikes were symbols. These are serious symbols that cannot and should not be taken lightly. Maybe "insurgents" bombed the SUV of these American contractors, but it was the general Iraqi population who mutilated their bodies and drug them through their streets cheering like they are at a baseball game. And these are the people the US wants to set up a civilized government over? HA! WHO will ever go to build/reconstruct anything in Iraq now? To me, it looks like symbolically that Islamic participants have won. Saham
"Seems these iraqis can only be kept in line by a brutal dictator." That is the truth, axeman. That is why it took the likes of Saddam Hussein to rule over them for 30 years. That's why removing Saddam may not... have been a good idea. That's why effing with those Middle Easterners may not be a good idea. Notice how the stock market is reacting to this by going down? Notice how oil prices are going up? Looks like EUR/USD is going to go way up. Time to short EUR/USD - hehe. FALLUJAH, Iraq - "In a scene reminiscent of Somalia, frenzied crowds dragged the burned, mutilated bodies of four American contractors through the streets of a town west of Baghdad on Wednesday and strung two of them up from a bridge after rebels ambushed their SUVs." Hey, maybe those Iraqi people just need to join a good Anger Management class. Sam
stop driving tank looking 4-5L SUV's and there is will be plenty of cheap gas soon. ride on scooter unstead))))) most of the traders should not to worry about gas prices,because they trade from home)))))) personally-the only thing i have to do is drive my son to karate class 2 miles away,2 times a week. for me-even if they go up to $10 per gallon is not a big deal)))) but for our economy-it is. with such big gas prices Bush have no chance to win.
Next time we go to war, and wipe some dude out, we should just leave. We nuked japan and then rebuilt them so they can kick our asses in everything. What sense does that make? We take out Saddam, and now spend billions on a bunch of idiots who hate us. WTF??? IF we leave, some new corrupt P.O.S. will take power, and start building another arsenal. Not a good thing. However, sometimes I think it would be cheaper this way. Hit and run tactics. When the next guy has enough time to pose a threat to use, blast him, again, and then just leave. The world already hates us no matter what we do anyway. If we help them...they hate us. If we dont help them... they hate us. So why spend the money??? Cuz were bleeding hearts? peace axeman
1) Would have taken out saddam 2) Take control of oil fields and BLATANTLY take all oil until cost of ENTIRE war is paid for. Everyone thinks were doing this anyway, so lets just do it! 3) LEAVE - fu** the bleeding hearts. Trying to help them just makes them hate us more. Let the French patch them up. Rebuilding their infrastructure will just quicken the pace in which the new P.O.S. dictator will rebuild an arsenal. peace axeman
Good point, axeman. What we really need to do at this point is one of 2 things: 1). Make an official announcement that Iraq is now America and start building HUGE prisons and courtrooms. Move in, strengthen the border around Iraq and really take control (of the Oil especially). Put Janet Reno in charge of social reform. List it as an act of US preservation. Run the gig through Homeland Security. Or, 2). Leave and try to get THIS parting message across to the Iraqi people: "Later, dudes." Sam
There's a solution for all the woes of the Middle East in America's own backyard: http://www.growley.com/war/can-oil.html (Beside's I'm long on a lot of Canadian Oil Companies)
It's unfortunate that because of the semantics & "morality", the world leaders will not just be blunt and say what the truth is. Most arabs are a bunch of psychotic half humans that will never understand civilized ways of life. Nobody will miss these worthless savages that live to suffer and die for Allah. Those that have come to accept civilization and respect for life have long fled their extremist countries. I think it's time to get REAL in Iraq. US military has been very respectful to the citizens, even the ones that do nothing but disrespect them. I say its time to abuse the shit out of their population until they learn some respect. The motherfuckers that dragged bodies of the contractors should be shot on site or locked up in holes for the rest of their lives. Start concentration camps, raids, public executions. You cannot deal in a civilized manner with these people. Apparently they miss Saddams torture chambers & purges. Regardless of the global disagreement with US's invasion tactic, the world (even France) fully recognizes what pieces of shit the Arab nations are. They live to hate, suffer and destroy life. Just look at their history. They have no honor, loyalty, common sense or respect. That is their culture. Enough of this crap, just fuck those stupid Iraqis up.
axeman! they dont ask for war,we did. cover it with words about weapon of MD(which was never found). why should they pay for war? dont be shame to say a right word for it-it called aggression. that why it create anger. US just make it worse. it will create hundreds of "freedom fighters" and sh*t that you see now will continue for decades. nuke korea unstead. those guys are real threat for world.
