I just saw the complete uncensored video.

It was pretty grusome.

I am sitting here shaking after seeing it and am sick to my stomach. I have seen pretty awful things in the past but hearing the screaming and gurgling and everything else is horrific.

We need to roll into these areas where the insurgents are and destroy what ever stands in the way.

God Rest Nick Bergs soul

We're too busy having a guilt trip about making a few of them walk around naked. I'm sure they'll have a full inquiry and apologize 500 times for it. I think we need to start turning sand into glass ...

Where's the outrage from Senator Kerry? Senator Clinton? Senator Byrd? Senator Kennedy? The outrage that exuded after airing of the pictures of how we "abused" the terrorists in our custody? Vs. the true atrocities committed by these Muslim terrorists? What’s wrong with this picture? When we hear cries of outrage over our inhumanity and silence over the brutality of these sub-humans? I say take a tiny Tim approach… Kill them all, every one. I say we take out some of their leaders like that Mooktada guy and then when they’re carrying his coffin through the streets in sack cloth and ashes, chanting death to America and vowing their revenge, we drop a fricken daisy cutter right in the middle of their little procession… And keep doing it until they get the message…

I have never on this forum talked politics
but IMHO just get our boys the hell out of there.
They hate our guts no matter what
Why don't we just take care of of own country ?
Sorry if this is a threadjack

I downloaded the video. It's a 1meg file.
Some people in my office wanted to see it. They are equally disgusted.

The imagery, the audio will be with me for a long time to come. I won't go into detail, buy you can use your imagination.

As for the lack of outcry from the left. Who knows. Maybe because it would show unity toward the Bush administration. Screaming about nekked Iraqi's and their "abuse" is a way for them to show negativity toward Bush.

I watched a lot of the congressional hearings replayed on CSPAN last night, the tone changed when word of this got to the comittee.

As usual a few naked Iraqis in a pile, hahaha! So then they behead one of our guys. We are sorry!! Nuke those M.F.ers! If innocent women and children must go, so be it. This is getting out of hand!

billreif, I usually don't get involved in political discussions, either, but to suggest that we tuck our tails and run in the face of this monstrous brutality is absolutely wrong and has already been proven a strategic failure. Remember Mogadishu?

Secondly, in response to your comment that "they all hate us,"we didn't go into Iraq or Afghanistan to win a popularity contest and they don't ALL hate us.

My best friend is in Baghdad as I write this. I heard from him this morning. We're doing good things there and the vast majority of the population appreciates what we're doing for them.

The terrorist thugs who killed Nick Berg hate us and that's who we're fighting. You want them to win?

Nick Berg's death is a tragedy, but keep in mind he was there voluntarily. He went as an independent contractor under his own free will. He wasn't forced to go.

There is no running now! Level the whole useless place and salt it under like the Romans did to Carthage!

I want to know why Senator Teddy "The Swimmer" Kennedy and the other liberal bastions of freedom in Congress are not appalled at this disgusting display of cowardance. Sure scream about a few Iraqii's being piled on top of each other and call it the worst you have ever seen, but no comment on this!?!?!?
Where is the senile old fool from West Virgina showing his disgust and anger. Hiding under his desk? Please..........

Charlie

Maybe that little jack@ss who wrote that tripe on Pat Tillman for the college newspaper could watch this video and benefit us of his "learned" opinion ...

How the the blue h@ll are you gonna turn this around on Kerry, Clinton, etc.??????

A truly horrific incident, so don't use this to bolster your political agenda!

As for nukin' them, I thought we are there to free the Iraqi people from oppression?!?!?!?! Now, you want them all to burn???????

Seriously, nukin' the bad guys is a wonderful idea, but not at the expense of millions of innocent children.....I do like Robby's Daisy Cutter idea though.

The Left and the Liberal press must have used up all the good adjectives that were their myopic, one-sided little brains when describing the "atrocities" like putting a dog-collar on a captive terrorist. Notice how all the news reports on the decaptitation (the sound of which will stick with me a lot longer than the low quality, amateurish video) are neutral and unbiased presentations of the facts?

BUNCH OF FREAKIN COWARDS!

That's what they are.


And if you can honestly say that we should just pack up and leave,then get ready to live in fear right there in your own house. These people think that the things they do will weakin us. All it does is make us stronger and more pissed off. They just keep poking the monster. Sometimes i wonder if war is all these people know, so they want to drag us into their silly games. COWARDS! We need to make them understand that we will not tolerate unprovoked attacks.

Sonny
Nobody turned this political, all I said, was where is Kennedy who has been so horrified by what our troops did in Abu Graib? I guess a few dead civilian Americans doesn't mean much to him! I never mentioned Mr Flip Flop!

Charlie

as someone who is outraged by this horrbile act of subhumans in the name of their so-called "god" I read this news story and wondered why the FBI didn't rescue him if they saw him three times. This whole thing seems rather curious and mysterious

Yo Sonny: Being nuked will set you free. I say pull out of Iraq and then set all of them free. JMHO JonR

All these Radical Muslims want to meet allah.Well we can get them there fast. But first they have to go through HELL. I'm sure that 2000degrees can take care of the HELL part if you know what I mean. All these people getting upset over these pictures. What about Jessica Lynch and the other females that were with her. You don't think they wear abused but I haven't heard any mention of that. Where are all these Muslim groups in the US condoning what these savages have done. And about dropping the big one on them hay that's war. WW2 we bombed cities and killed everyone.Like I said thats war. I love all these people who say the only reason they hate us is because we have it better than they do. They kill in the name of Allah not because you have a cd player and they don't. So I laugh when I see the group from the Catholic Gay and Lesbian group marching for us to leave this country (Iraq) well once we leave they can come here and kill you. Ac cording to ther religion you are a animal because of what you do. They also want to kill the straight catholics,The jews anyone who is not of there religious beliefs. I took the koran out of the library and got into it about 30 pages and had to return it. Some of the things they beleave in are good muslim woman do not menstraight,deficate or urinate. They also think that for a young boy to become a man he should be beat by the village elder.WOW. Just to let everyone know I don't have anything against Gay's,Lesbians,Catholics,Jews . That sounds so political correct. Hey if I ofended you "Go Piss Off"!

Since we’re talking politics… I checked the major news sources for how they are handling this. Below are several headlines. Can you decide which is which?

- FBI: Agents Advised Berg to Leave Iraq
- U.S. Officials Failed to Protect Slain Civilian, Family Says
- FBI: Agents Urged Berg to Leave Iraq
- Hometown reaction to Berg's death

The four I chose to compare are:

- Fox News
- CNN
- NY Times
- Reuters


Off politics... this does show you how brutal our enemies are. Pray for our troops and leaders to have the strength to see this till the end. I am. Lastly, these things are not new to this war. Even civilians have seen this… just ask the Chinese during WWII. What’s new is the media’s ability to tell the stories real time. Next time you see or talk to a soldier, thank him or her for ‘being there’ so we don’t have this in our streets. I am.

LOL @ cigarsmokin! Man, I like the "Fuq" approach.
Now, you are probably reading the Koran like a snake swinger reads the New Testiment, so don't take such a literal approach to the document. Unless you are a well-versed reader, foreign religious literature is probably something you should stay away from as it is very hard to comprehend. Their religion actually denounces violence, so what you seeing is religious psychopaths murdering, not in the name of religion, but for their own deep-rooted evils.

You have hit one VERY GOOD issue with the way we have treated their prisoners: Jessica Lynch
I believe what was happening at the prison was wrong, but correct me if I (and cigarsmokin) are wrong, but didn't a bullet riddled and broken Jessica Lynch get sexually abused/raped while in captivity? I would even go so far as to say they probably were keeping her alive to rape her repeatedly. Forget that the private is a woman for a moment.....did they not sexually assault our soldier repeatedly? I do believe this may fall under the realm of hypocracy.....shame on us? SHAME ON THEM TOO!

They have no shame in what they do. They are doing everything for "God". We are Satan. Anything we do to them comes from Satan. Anything they do to us is for God. This is the original, and still best, no-win situation. They would kill you, your parents, your children and your grandchildren, if they could get at them. They are on a mission to exterminate us. So we have a choice. Sorry folks, but going over there to "hug them and understand them" ain't gonna cut it.
