I agree somewhat. If we didn't invade Iraq this "insurgent" may have been doing his everyday thing for another 50 years be it working in a field or any pursuit that we take for granted here in the USA.

Since we did invade Iraq and he now planned to kill our troops with an RPG he did get what he deserved since our misplaced troops did have a right to defend themselves.

now lets turn this around
how would it look if at some other forum members were screaming with joy over a video where an american soldier was killed?

There probably are forums like that....you know what? It's freedom to me. I don't feel anyone has to like us but americans....they may not agree with all issues, but it's like a family. Maybe through the freedom allowed to laugh at our dead, they will see the errors of their way and learn the lies they were told about us (as we learn the lies about them), maybe some will convert/flee/etc....maybe many won't...oh well in the end the US will still be here.

I read this ten minutes ago and I'm still giggling :D

Being a lemming is actually cool. /mwilding

For months the reason presented by Bush and his administration to the U.N. was the fact of Iraqs non-compliance with resolution 1441. That was a valid reason for invasion. The U.N. was not presented the fact of he being a dictator and needing removal. However, I guess you bought into "Operation Iraqi Freedom". :roll: Don't be ashamed many have.
what does this have to do with the fact that his "everyday thing" might have been torturing small children?

That's quite an assumption since I'm sure that the vast majority of Iraqis do not indulge in such behavior whether or not they are pointing an RPG at american troops.

Nice way to be classless however insinuating such nonsense. I guess muslim is akin to a terrorist as well in your book.
Do you have an extra chromosome?

You made the following statement:
If we didn't invade Iraq this "insurgent" may have been doing his everyday thing for another 50 years be it working in a field or any pursuit that we take for granted here in the USA.
I pointed out that his "thing" might have been being part of one of the worst totalitarian regimes in recent history.

You then called me a lemming.

explain the thought process...

"Thing" :roll:

Ok. I rest my case. I can see the problem isn't mine extra chromosome or whatever lame insult you decide to pull from your ass in the future.
You rest your case? on what? on putting "thing" in quotes and rolling your eyes? how convincing... I'd like to point out that "thing" was your language not mine...

Good. One fewer useless piece of Islamic filth around to threaten the lives of our soldiers. Good shooting on the part of the soldier who got him. :D

Nice to show your true colors. Maybe you're the filth around here.

Yes, he's a filth cuz he applauds US military retaliation.
I'm glad one more piece of trash like him got shot in the noggin.
It's him or probably several troops.

I believe you miss the point: it's always somebody.
Nobody really wins in war, but anybody with a gun would've done the same thing.

How would it look if a bunch of Iraqis mutilated the dead bodies of Americans, then paraded them through the streets.... Oh wait didn?t they already do that?

EDIT* They behead civilians; we scare them with loud dogs and take degrading pictures of them. And we are the animals. Making some one THINK they are going to die is not a big deal if they are allowed to live. Getting information necessary to protect the US and there Allies should be done by any means necessary. I applaud American forces for figuring out a way to get them to talk without causing any REAL damage. Making a man think his family is going to see homosexual pictures of himself to get him to talk... He will live and get over it, flame on flamers. This is war people there is nothing pretty about it. Things like these save lives. Shooting a guy with Fcking MISSLE LAUNCHER AIMED AT YOU is justifiable to anyone except, people with political agendas and problems with why we are there. If that was your son, brother, nephew, cousin starring down the barrel of that RPG you would hope he has the ability to shoot first. We are there, we are stuck in this situation lets make the best out of it, so the Iraqi people can make history and live better lives.

ViciouS,
your justification for the immoral treatment of PRISONERS OF WAR is fallacious. Are you an experienced psychologist or psychiatrist to attest that
making someone THINK they're going to die is not a big deal if they are allowed to live.
is insignificant to their lives? Maybe this same person ends up killing him or herself and they are perhaps even innocent... We both do not know the details of what went on there so it's EQUALLY WRONG for you to assume that the same people who beheaded the civilians are the exact same persons in prison or even related... Torturing people unaccountable for other people's actions is wrong. again, i have no sympathy for that person holding the RPG, assuming it was aimed at our troops or allies, BUT you should really consider more scepticism in your interpretation before applauding a simple-minded idea of "good guys" beating "the bad guys."

Wow Ackmad has to see a psychiatrist because he thought he was going to have a picture of him and Allybaba in compromising positions sent to his parents. But he gave up the location of a weapons stockpile. Stop worrying about how they "feel" they are soldiers they are prepared to die for their cause. The guy tried to kill some one and got, got. If I was in a Iranian prison camp, or some where else, I'd hope the worst treatment I received is what we have done to these guys.

Although it is sad to see life wasted, I wonder what this guy was thinking sitting in the middle of the street with an RPG. Then afterward, what are those guys doing just walking up to him? Don't they think its dangerous out there?

huh? nobody said anything about US troops being evil... on the contrary they were being saluted except there are some trigger-happy bush supporters in this thread applauding the loss of life itself - the lowest human degeneration i could imagine. stop making sh!t up, or you didnt even bother to read the thread i suppose. self-defense is a good cause to kill this guy, but US troops never belonged to iraqi lands. i am sure you would be grateful if canadians came over to 'liberate' you from bush's evil regin? :confused:
bush $& co. started the ordeal, now they have to deal with it. serves them right.

I like the dolts that sit around going "Sadaam didn't do anything".

Right, you must have forgotten about all the Kurds he gassed. You must have forgotten about all the people who he had arrested in the middle of the night for no reason and then had executed.

If that doesn't count for anything in your book, then maybe you should re-evaluate how much value you place on life.


Whether he was involved in 9/11 or not, Sadaam needed to go, period.
 

That idiot obviously never played RTCW. Stand in the middle of the beach with the RL and you die fast.

Has anyone made a version with the UT2K4 "HEAD SHOT" voice over when he gets capped?

Sorry to see anyone get killed but I'm glad it was him and not one of our
troops (or a whole bunch) go down.

as they say the object is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

nice vid.

yes its sad another human lost his life.

But what some folks don't understand is war isn't pretty. This is the first time for most of this board to be at war...a real war. So "well done guys...keep picking off the enemy until there is none left"

We must squash all who would do harm to us or our troops.
