If you support a terrorist,
you are a terrorist.

Thank you Diog, bump.

Excellent pics as usual

I have been too consumed with other matters to watch the news or turn on the computer, so thanks for the ping. I thought by now we would be bombing that city to rubble.

What are those two women doing?

Maybe it's me, but I think I see some target rich environments for a warthog and a few locations begging for a MOAB

What's all this p.c crap. Remember the highway of death in the first Gulf War. What were the consequences-none. The IDF blows up a guy in a wheelchair and what are the consequences. Two days of handwringing by the libs.

As for the Japanese and South Korean hostages. I would recommend "The Rape of Nanking" as bedtime reading for the towelheads. I also wouldn't want to tick off the ROK.

What steams me is this: The terrorists do stuff, and the left will only acknowledge it if it weakens the US and boosts their agenda.
Otherwise, the left ignores what goes on, and spits on our soldiers.

I hope they all head for Falujah and our men send them to Allah.

Or someone out of camera range has a gun to your childs head.

I also wouldn't want to tick off the ROK.
The ROK interrogators did a great job in Nam. We need to bring 500-1000 of them into Iraq, and turn them loose. I am certain that when the ROKs get done, these ragheads will seriously modify their behavior.

Look at the pics, guy.

Pay special attention to the one in post #4, too.

So?

...how would you fight this thing?

Your aren't thinking of sending a supply of "blankets" to the enemy. Surely not.

Your posts are another reason to donate to FReeRepublic..

"...how would you fight this thing?"

With overwhelming force and relentless resolve...just like we're doing now!!

"Your aren't thinking of sending a supply of "blankets" to the enemy. Surely not."

Damned right I am, King.

Those blankets would be wrapping several thousand cases of RF activated HE, too.

You were either kidding me, or?

...ya don't know me very well. {g}

South Korean soldiers take up positions during a military drill for troops deployed in Iraq.

looks like they are donating blood.

Donating blood

I was thinking of smallpox Indian Blankets. Are we already there on the outrage continuum? I figured the west would get down to business only after a stateside nuke attack. Still think you're a little early. We are early, somewhere around the "we can reason/feel good" stage. Dresden takes more outrageous behavior than just a few defiled corpses and running children at you loaded with bomb vests. Doesn't it?

I heard from a nam vet that the ROK used to bring piano wire to hang suspected vc with. Instead of a quick snap of the neck, the vc would bounce up and down for a while. He told me that after the ROK arrived in a sector, vc activity dropped to nothing

He also told me that their camps were spotless and they would constantly train in the martial arts first thing in the morning.

Cool pic. Thanks.

If they were donating blood, there would be some bandages,
and they would be supine and serious,
and there would be signs of a container for the blood.
IMHO, THIS is a terrorist-solidarity pose.

Guess you know me well enough, King.

The beginnings of a great friendship?
Maybe.

But we're gonna get along just fine in any event.

...I can *feel* it. ;^)

Mudboy:

We're not using overwhelming force. We're pin-pricking. Overwhelming force would entail 2000lb JDAMs on all mosques, carpet bombing or MOABs on falluja, ramadi, najaf, and other shitholes occupied by the muslim terrorists, unrestrained deployment of heavy armor into those "cities", napalm, flamethrowers, and so on. The USMC should have learned from Hue City what it costs in US lives when we try to protect religious "shrines" - remember the Citadel? It ended up as a lot of rubble eventually because the NVA - like the vermin we are now fighting - were in it to the death.

They still lost though!

One of my cousins (Recon USMC 69-71) told me that he watched the ROCS interrogate the VC. They would ask them in a polite manner what they knew. If they didn't talk, they would take 3 to 4 of them on a helicopter ride. They would fly approximately 1000 ft AGL at around 120 KTS IAS. They would then pick one of these VC guys at random, and throw him out. The rest very willingly cooperated.

I still do not understand fully the trepidation. My view, gained only from armchair quarterback distance, is we have yet to decide whether or not we intend to gain a victory in this small war. Nothing yet suggests to me we seek to gain military victory, and we continue to sacrifice good men so as to be sensitive to terrorist feelings on a range of issues. I would like a policy maker to stand before American and explain how the sacrifice of one soldier is preferred to that of even a million smelly foreign savages bent on our destruction.

And whats with the DOD POLICY OF STRUCTURING OUR FORCES TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT AND WIN A MAJOR WAR AND A HALF WAR? Tell me Rummy just what is this--a major war? IF SO, why not WIN? If not why are we panting so hard? War and a half---geesh.

The South Korean hostages reportedly were just released.
Will hear more from FReepers now that Condi Rice has finished.

Amen to that.

CPA HQ now Baghdad.

I hope the Japanese and ROK throw 20-30 thousand "peacekeepers" the Iraqi'a way. I don't think they will be p.c. in their response.

Works for me. War is hell.

Please add me to your ping list.

Thanks :)

BUMP.

How much more will the civilised world take.

Donating blood

Thanks! I guess it's obvious, but I thought maybe they were doing something weird, lol.

Apparently the Mooslims haven't played with ROK troops yet. They won't like that game either.

Great stuff!

Thank you, Diogenesis!

Hey Rag God Bless. I will send you email soon. You know about stuff. I have great news for you.

Of course you are right that we are not using our full contingent of weaponry, but such is the burden of being the GoodGuys who do everything we can to minimize the deaths of innocent civilians. A few days ago, I spent many posts debating why we could not simply NUKE FALLUJAH!! While I want to do everything we can to minimize the loss of our soldiers, America cannot help but be the GoodGuys in any conflict in which we are engaged. In the long run, the Moral Authority that we retain by minimizing the loss of innocent life ultimately saves military lives as the vast majority of the folks we are liberating come to recognize our efforts and eventually shun those who snuff out innocent lives as a battle strategy.

That said, if we know a concentration of insurgents are holed up in a particular Mosque, by all means, drop a MOAB on it and rid the world of that concentration of vermin!!

Mosques can always be rebuilt.

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

~~ Bush/Cheney 2004 ~~

Thanks for the ping!

This is exactly the way it should be! Terrorists fighting U.S. Troops that are fully equipped to fight them back and administer a first class a$$-kickin'! The more gather to take on our troops, the fewer there are to do what they want to do around the rest of the world!

This whole war is accomplishing so much more than anyone anticipated. It's also a perfect example of the troops putting their asses on the line to protect their loved ones and all Americans back home! I know it's their job. None of them, oh by the way, looked too terribly distraught. I saw many smiles in those pics. It must be nice being part of the best trained, best managed, best equipped military force in the history of the world and to be taking on walking dirtbags.

SEMPER FI fellas! Godspeed to each and every one of you!!!

Oh yeah, and THANKS!!!

I agree, I was stationed at Bien Hoa, we had a contingent of ROKs from the White Horse Div. Saw many VC go into their (ROK) compound, never saw one come out. The intel we recieved from the ROKs was about 95% accurate.

Sorry, it was Phan Rang, not Bien Hoa where the ROK compound was.
