Bunch of dogs!! They say the same about us believe it or not. Escalation is cool. What's was a war to find WMD's is turning into blood bath were no one "wins" per se just the uglyness of humanity shows it primal head.

Ah...so you're taking delight in the fact an American was beheaded. Your Savior, the Bush-God, will now have a clear path to re-election.

You neocons are disgustingly hypocritical.

Again, let's avoid a Bush bash fest or pissing match in this thread. I just don't see how bashing the President can even be related to this thread.

What Passions is saying is correct. Should this video get out to the public it will rally support behind the President's war effort. Just the news of it alone will likely do that, but if the video were to get out you would see a very angry American populace that would further support our operations in Iraq and the war on terrorism in general. By no means was Passions taking pleasure in the killing of an American, he was stating an opinion, one that I believe to be correct.

Seriously, call off the attack dogs. I think you read too much into his statement.

Well, both of your opinions are dead wrong, imo.

This will not save the Bush re-election campaign. I think it will hurt it more. They'll see this administration has lost control over the command infrastructure and now it's costing additional American lives.


Man STFU. this isnt about the President.

This is what happens when you start bending the rules. It was inevitable and I'm sure we'll start seeing more and more of this.
Thank you Mister Bush for bringing democracy to the World!
Staaaaay the course! Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay the course!

Yeah, this is something "new" :roll:
It's quite interesting how now it's our fault for them acting like dogs yet it's our fault for our guys acting like dogs.
Oh what it must be like to be a card carrying member of the "Blame America First" club.:roll:

Had the administration properly planned for the war: deploying enough troops as originally recommended (and ignored by Rumsfeld); properly trained soldiers on behavior on handling prisoners; properly manned the prisons; not summarily arrested people; etc. then the abuses most likely would not have occurred and Mr. Burg would still be alive today.

Thank you Mr. Chairman. :roll:

Seriously, keep your bile out of this thread. For once....just once I would like to see a discussion here stay above the level of a gutter fight. Why can't we focus on the tragedy that happened instead of turning this into a political hate thread? Why must everything devolve into a Bush bashing or military bashing thread?

That was focusing on the tragedy. What do you want this thread to be? A bunch of quotes saying, ":(

How is that focusing on the tragedy? It was nothing more than an attack on the President.

Someone tell me....how is Bush directly responsible for the behavior of the animals who did this? Tell me....I'm waiting. The vast majority of Iraqis do not and would not act this way. This is a horrible thing perpetrated by scum who have no regard for human life. The people that did this would kill Americans even if we were not currently engaged in Iraq. These fundamentalist hate spewing bastards hate us because we exist and would kill us no matter the reason; they are simply using Iraq as an excuse.

Here's the video

I've not been able to watch all of it yet, ogrish is getting hammered. do not watch it if you don't like seeing gore. I was able to get about 40% of it, it looked legit

*edited* since they changed the filename

I have no problem with it - as I said, I went to the website a couple of hours ago because I knew they'd probably have a video of it - but as I said, others have gotten banned for publishing links to the website.

I'm just giving you a heads up that the mods might not look favorably at the posting of the video, that is all.
