When the original killing of the five soldiers was first the subject of an article at JW, I put up a posting that I think can be re-posted without change. The soldiers murdered in cold blood were not in combat. They were all Civil Affairs people, trying only to discuss with local Shi'a how to better protect other Shi'a during the Ashura processions. Yet they were murdered by Shi'a including this apparent Hezbollah agent of Iran, and with every one of the Shi'a in those buildings either knowing about the set-up for the murder, or doing absolutely nothing to help protect the Americans who had come, trustingly, to their buildings in order to help them. That trust, and that treachery, and those cold-blooded murders, may come to stand for the whole hopeless effort among people who do not deserve any of our help, and for the American soldiers who are, by every account, heroic and amazingly decent and self-sacrificing. And at this point, it is cruel to ask them to continue, for a lost and also false cuase, to continue to be heroic, and decent, and self-sacrficing.

Here is that posting from January 23, 2007, when the killings were first made public:

"American soldiers were attempting to make plans for the protection of Shi'a visitors from abroad during Ashoura. They ended up being massacred in an ambush, in which a very large number of locals must have been involved. They may not have done the actual killing, but they allowed that suspect convoy to go through three checkpoints. One must assume that there was collusion. And why not? The Shi'a, like the Sunnis, are delighted when Americans die, or at the very least, are completely indifferent. In four years of fighting for a "decent Iraq" that does not exist, will not exist, and never did exist, American soldiers are being sacrificed -- killed while handing out candy, killed while attending meetings, killed while attempting to build or rebuild this country of treacherous and primitive ingrates, and now killed, by Shi'a, as they, those American soldiers, lulled no doubt into a feeling of false secuirty, were not there to fight but only to make plans to assure the safety and wellbeing of Shi'a pilgrims -- and were nonetheless essentially massacred by other Shi'a. And not a single Iraqi Shi'a at that meeting, and not a single Iraqi Shi'a soldier outside, apparently fired a shot against those who murdered the Americans.

Why?

Here's why:

"When asked why Iraqi police did not intervene to stop the gunmen from fleeing, al-Mishawi said 'they assumed it was American-on-American violence and wanted to stay out of it.'"

Does that make sense? Has there been, anywhere in Iraq, at any time, any "American-on-American violence" that any Iraqi has observed or has any reason to think would ever go on? Could any Iraqi in Karbala really think that a convoy of thirty Americans would drive up to that meeting and enter it, and attempt to kill every American soldier there in cold blood? Where has anything like that ever occurred in Iraq? Is the reason given by that Iraqi for the failure of any of the Iraqis to fire a shot as the murderers left, at all believeable?

Does your blood boil? Do you want to see more Americans killed making plans to protect those Shi'a during Ashoura, or killed protecting Sunnis from Shi'a militia, and Shi'a from Sunni terrorists? Do you no longer give a damn, do you in fact welcome the spectacle or prospect of those Shi'a being killed by and killing Sunnis, and vice-versa? Do you at long last want to have those American troops removed, so tjat instead of Iraqis explaiining that they wished "to stay out of it" and so did nothing to attack those who left, completely unscathed by any counter-attack coming from any Iraqi, after murdering Americans, -- that is, let the Americans stay out of this place where some primitives capture others, while still other primitives, indifferent to the fate of Americans, nonetheless expect those Americans to protect them, to do what they should be doing if in fact, the non-existent state and people of Iraq are ever to exist. The militias, the bombers, the bodies left here and there and everywhere with the marks of fiendish torture -- not by the Marquess-of-Queensberry Geneva-Conventioned Americans, but by the Muslims, Shi'a or Sunni, it hardly matters, who should be done with, done with as people whose every failure can properly be ascribed to the teachings, the attitudes, the atmospherics of Islam, the very subject which the Bush Administration cannot bring itself to discuss or even to hint at. The failures of the people in Iraq, as of so many Muslim Arabs, are are the result of Islam and nothing but Islam.

These people should all be made, along with the others who will be drawn into, or affected by, Sunni-Shi'a hostilities in Iraq, to suffer for their Islam, and the American soldiers permitted, by this quasi-demented Bush Administration, to go home, not to risk their own lives to save Muslims from the consequences of the teachings, attitudes, and atmospherics of Islam, but to watch from afar, intervening only to keep those Muslim states and peoples from acquiring major weaponry that could harm Infidels. But otherwise this or the next Administration must end, and nevder again repeat, the squandering of American lives, American money, American war materiel, American morale civilian and military, in a futile and misguided effort to prevent the Camp of Islam from descending into its natural state. Stop. Full stop."

I can't help think there is some connection between these dots; but why are we being told this again, now?

I'm not sure about islamic nut-ball mathematics, but is there some fetish about the numbers "7" and "11?"

If so, perhaps 7-11-07 or something like it means something to these bastards; or is Homeland Security merely playing mind games with ... us?

Posted by: Gramfan at July 2, 2007 12:20 AM

Muslims kill more muslims than anyone else.

read it all:
http://imshin.net/?p=448

Here's an excerpt:

"Sudan:
A country torn by campaigns of destruction, almost all of them between the Arab-Muslim north, that is control of the country, and the south, populated by blacks. Two civil wars have taken place in this country, and a massacre, under government patronage, has been taking place in recent years in the district of Darfur. The first civil war spanned the years of 1955-1972. Moderate estimates talk of 500,000 victims. In 1983 the second civil war began. But it wasn’t a civil war but a systematic massacre suitably defined as ‘genocide’. The goals were Islamization, Arabization and mass deportation, that occasionally becomes slaughter, also for the need to gain control over giant oil fields. We are talking about an estimated 1.9 million victims.

The division between Muslim and other victims is unclear. The large district of Noba, populated by many black Muslims, was served its portion of horrors. The Muslims, should they be black, are not granted any favors. Since the rise to power of radical Islam, under the spiritual guidance of Dr. Hassan Thorabi, the situation has worsened. This is probably the worst series of crimes against humanity since WWII. We’re talking about ethnic cleansing, deportations, mass murder, slave trade, forcible enforcement of the laws of Islam, taking children from their parents and more. Millions have become refugees. As far as is known, there are not millions of publications about the Sudanese ‘Right of Return’ and there are no petitions by intellectuals negating Sudan’s right to exist.

Recent years have been all about Darfur. Again Muslims (Arabs) are murdering (black) Muslims and heathens, and the numbers are unclear. Moderate estimates are talking about 200,000 victims, higher estimates say 600,000. No one knows for sure. And the slaughter continues.

Throughout the atrocities of Sudan, the slaughter has been perpetrated mainly by the Arab Muslim regime, and the great majority of victims, if not all, are black, of all religions, including Muslims.

Afghanistan:
This is a web of nonstop mass killing – domestic and external. The Soviet invasion, which began on 24th December 1979 and ended on 2nd February 1989, left about a million dead. Other estimates talk of 1.5 million dead civilians and an additional 90,000 soldiers.

After the withdrawal of the Soviet Forces, Afghanistan went through a series of civil wars and struggles between the Soviet supporters, the Mojahidin and the Taliban. Each group carried out a doctrine of mass extermination of its opponents. The sum of the fatalities in civil war, up to the invasion of the coalition forces under American leadership in 2001, is about one million.

There are those who complain, and rightly so, about the carnage that took place as a result of the coalition offensive to overthrow the Taliban regime and as part of the armed struggle against al Qaida. Well, the invasion into Afghanistan caused a relatively limited number of deaths, less than 10,000. Had it not taken place, we would have seen a continuation of the self-inflicted genocide, with an average of 100,000 fatalities a year.

Afghanistan Summary: One million to one and a half million, as a result of the Soviet invasion; about one million in the civil war.

Somalia:
Since 1977 this Muslim state in East Africa has been immersed in an unending civil war. The number of victims is estimated at about 550,000. It is Muslims killing mainly Muslims. UN attempts to intervene, in the interest of peace keeping, ended in the failure, as did later attempts by American Forces.

Most of the victims died not in the battle fields, but as a result of deliberate starvation and slaughter of civilians, in bombardments aimed at the civilian population (massive bombardments of opponent districts, such as the bombardment of Somaliland, that caused the deaths of 50,000 ).

Somalia Summary: 400,000 to 550,000 victims in the civil war.

Bangladesh:
This country aspired to gain independence from Pakistan. Pakistan reacted with a military invasion that caused mass destruction. It was not a war, it was a massacre. One to two million people were systematically liquidated in 1971. Some researchers define the events of that year in Bangladesh as one of the three greatest genocides in (history - IJ) (after the Holocaust and the Ruanda genocide).

An inquiry committee appointed by the government of Bangladesh counted 1.247 million fatalities as a result of systematic murder of civilians by Pakistan’s army forces. There are also numerous reports of ‘Death squads’, in which “Muslim soldiers were sent to execute mass killings of Muslim farmers”.

The Pakistani army ceased only after the intervention of India, which suffered from waves of refugees - millions – arriving from Bangladesh. At least 150 thousand more were murdered in acts of retaliation after the retreat of the Pakistan army.

Bangladesh summary: 1.4 million to 2 million.

Indonesia:
The biggest Muslim state in the world competes with Bangladesh for the dubious title of ‘The biggest massacre since the Holocaust’. The massacre commenced with a communist uprising in 1965. There are different assessments (of the number of fatalities - IJ) in this case as well. The accepted estimate talks of as many as 400 thousand Indonesians killed in the years 1965-1966, although stricter estimates claim the number is higher.

The massacre was perpetrated by the army, led by Hag’i Mohammed Soharto, who seized power in the country for the next 32 years. An investigator of those years points out that the person who was in charge of suppressing the rebellion, General Srv Adei, admitted: “We killed 2 million not 1 million, and we did good work”. For this argument, we will stick to the lower, more accepted estimates.

In 1975, after the end of the Portuguese rule, East Timor announced its independence. Within a short time it was invaded by Indonesia, who ruled the area until 1999. During these years about 100,000 to 200,000 people were killed, along with the complete destruction of infrastructure.

Indonesia summary: 400,000 killed, with an additional 100,000 to 200,000 in East Timor.

Iraq:
Most of the destruction of the last two decades was the doing of Saddam Hussein. This is another case of a regime that caused the deaths of millions. Nonstop death. One of the highpoints was during the Iran-Iraq war, in the conflict over the Shat El Arab River, the river that is created by the convergence of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. This was a conflict that led to nothing but large scale destruction and mass killing. Estimates are between 450,000 and 650,000 Iraqis, and between 450,000 and 970,000 Iranians. Jews, Israelis, and Zionists were not around, as far as is known.

Waves of purges, some politically motivated (opposition), some ethnic ( the Kurdish minority) and some religiously motivated (the ruling Suni minority against the Shiite majority), yielded an astounding number of victims. Estimates vary from one million, according to local sources, to a quarter million, according to Human Rights Watch. Other international organizations quote an estimate of about half a million.

In the years 1991 - 1992 there was a Shiite uprising in Iraq. There are contradictory estimates about the number of victims. The numbers vary from 40,000 to 200,000. In addition to the Iraqis that were slaughtered one must add the Kurds. During Saddam Hussein’s reign, between 200,000 to 300,000 of them were killed in a genocide that continued all through the 1980’s and the 1990’s.

Over half a million more Iraqis died from diseases because of the shortage of medicine, which was the result of sanctions imposed after the first Gulf War. Today it is clear that this was a continuation of the genocide perpetrated by Saddam on his own people. He could have purchased medicine, he had enough money to buy food and to build hospitals for all the children of Iraq, but Saddam preferred to build palaces and to distribute franchises to many in the west and in Arab states. This issue is being exposed in the corruption of the UN’s ‘Oil for Food’ project.

The Iraqis continue to suffer. The civil war that is raging there now - even if some would rather not give that name to the mutual massacre of Sunis and Shiites – is costing tens of thousands of lives. It is estimated that about 100,000 people have been killed since the coalition forces took control in Iraq.

Iraq Summary: 1.54 million to 2 million victims.

Iran Summary:
450,000 to 970,000 victims.

Lebanon:
The Lebanese civil war took place from 1975 to 1990. Israel was involved in certain stages, by way of the first Lebanon War in 1982. There is no disagreement that a considerable part of the victims were killed in the first two years.

The more assessments talk of over 130,000 killed. Most of them were Lebanese killed by other Lebanese, on religious, ethnic grounds and in connection with the Syrian involvement. Syria transferred its support between various parties in the conflict. The highest estimates claim that Israeli activities were the cause of around 18,000 people, the great majority of which were fighters.

Lebanon summary: 130,000.

Yemen:
In the civil war that took place in Yemen from 1962 to 1970, with Egyptian and Saudi involvement, 100,000 to 150,000 Yemenites were killed, and more than a thousand Egyptians and a thousand Saudis.

Egypt committed war crimes by incorporating the use of chemical warfare. Riots in Yemen from 1984 to 1986 caused the deaths of thousands more.

Yemen summary: 100,000 to 150,000 fatalities.

Chechnya:
Russia turned down Chechen Republic demands for independence, and this led to the first Chechen war of 1994 to 1996. The war cost the lives of 50,000 to 200,000 Chechens.

Russia put a great deal into this conflict, but failed miserably. This did not help Chechens, because although they had gained autonomy there republic was in ruins.

The second Chechen War began in 1999 and officially ended in 2001, but it has not really ended, and number of the victims is estimated at 30,000 to 100,000.

Chechnya summary: 80,000 to 300,000 fatalities.

From Jordan to Zanzibar:
In addition to the wars and the massacres, there have also been smaller confrontations, that have cost the lives of thousands and tens of thousands, of Muslims and Arabs (killed) by Muslims and Arabs. These confrontations are not even taken into account in the tables presented on these pages, because the numbers are small, relatively speaking, even though the numbers of those killed are far higher than the numbers of the victims of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Here are some of them:

Jordan:
1970 to 1971 the Black September riots took place In the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan. King Hussein was fed up of the Palestians use of the country and their threatened to take control of it. The confrontation, mainly a massacre in the refugee camps, took thousands of lives. According to estimates provided by the Palestinians themselves - 10,000 to 25,000 fatalities. According to other sources - a few thousand.

Chad:
Half of the population of Chad are Muslims: In various civil wars 30,000 civilians have been killed.

Kosovo: In the mainly Muslim area of Yugoslavia about 10,000 were killed in the war there from 1998 to 2000.

Tajikistan: Civil war from 1992 to 1996 left about 50,000 dead.

Syria: Hafez Assad’s systematic persecution of the Muslim Brotherhood ended in the 1982 massacre in the city of Hama, costing the lives of about 20,000 people.

Iran:
Thousands were killed in the beginning of the Humeini Revolution. The precise number is unknown, but is somewhere between thousands and tens of thousands. The Kurds also suffered at the hands of Iran, and about 10,000 of them were murdered there.

Turkey:
About 20,000 Kurds were killed in Turkey as part of the conflict there.

Zanzibar:
In the early 1960’s the island was granted independence, but only for a short time. At first, the Arabs were in power, but a black group, made up mainly of Muslims, slaughtered the Arab group, also Muslim, in 1964. The estimates are that 5,000 to 17,000 were killed.

Even this is not the end of the list. There were more conflicts with unknown numbers of victims in former USSR republics with Muslim majority populations (like the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagurno Karabach), and a disputable number of Muslims that were killed in mixed population countries in Africa, such as Nigeria, Mauritania or Uganda (in the years of Idi Amins reign in Uganda, in the decade that began in 1971, about 300,000 Ugandans were killed. Amin defined himself as Muslim, but in contrast to Sudan, it is hard to say that the background for the slaughter was Muslim, and it certainly wasn’t Arab......"

These jihadists do not wear distinctive, standard uniforms. They have no formal chain of command. They are not members of a nation that has formally declared war on us. They purposely target unarmed civilians in their attacks. When they kidnap soldiers, they torture and execute those soldiers after they have surrendered. When captured, they do not give name, rank, or serial number; instead, these brave freedom fighters pretend to be mute cripples.

These scumbags fail to qualify for Geneva Convention protection in so many ways, it makes my head spin. We can legally and morally do whatever we want with these scumbags. Anything.

Right now I'm listening to Barbra Streisand (she's still the greatest singer there ever was) singing "Enough is Enough." That's how I feel about these Loony Birds on the left. And the jihadists!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Posted by: TeachESL at July 2, 2007 6:30 AM

Barbra Streisand? She's just been given the Legion of Honor award by the French government. Why? Just because celebrities bring publicity, and obtaining publicity is all the French government now wants? For that matter, why was the prize given a while ago to Sharon Stone? For services to thighs?

This French recognition should be limited to two categories of Americans who have worked or sacrificed pour la France et pour la Gloire:

1) those who have helped the physical survival of France -- that is, mainly the veterans of World War II (who do indeed receive this award) and those who, like the great and modest Dr. Schepens, helped rescue from annihilation citizens or residents of France.

2) those who have helped preserve and transmit and knowledge of French art and literature and music, preferably of the sane old school. This means the late Henri Peyre, Victor Brombert, the late Francis Steegmuller, Eugen Weber, Joel Cojen of the Boston Camnerata, the art dealer and collector and connoisseur Eugene Thaw, and others of that ilk.

Such a list would not include any of those poorly-educated American professors who now dominate so many -- but fortunately not all -- Departments of French, and who took and simplified Lacan or DeLeuze or Derrida or Foucault. For all these theorists are the bored products of a different system, where students have endured decades of the dictee and the explication de texte, and some, not realizing quite how lucky they are, have a lust for mere "theories" which theories, then taken over, simplified, and used in the American context with American students who have not endured and benefited from the French training in reading and writing, scarcely able to write themselves, and with minds that are not well-stocked libraries but rather video-rental stores, or video-rental stores with the contents of the largest possible iPod mixed in. And the results of that simplified theorizing of these assorted (the real thing would be bad enough)petits Foucaults, Derridas, Deleuzes, and Lacans, who take even Shakespeare and make him unpalatably fashionable, or fashionably unpalatable. The best students, the ones to be held on to, are driven away (to law school, to medical school, to god-knows-where), and those with enough careerist stamina remain, and flourish, and fill the posts of the teachers who taught them to think this way.

Which brings me back to Barbra Streisand? What the hell has she done for France lately? Or ever?

Khomeini got away with holding American hostages for 444 days, so he orders Hezbollah to grab an American Embassy official in Beirut, Lebanon, William Buckley, and holds him for the same symbolic 444 days, during which the victim was horrendously tortured to the edge of his life many times, revived, and tortured again and again, first in Beirut, then in Damascus, then in Teheran, than back in Beirut again. In the process, they tortured more than 400 pages of US secrets out of him, and distributed those to every US enemy in the world. On the 444 day, they decided it was time for Buckley to die. No, they did not shoot, hang or even behead him. He was not that lucky. Instead, they turned up pain so sharply on him, that his heart gave out. They then gleefully sent the video of the torture-murder to Reagan. During the Iran-Contra hearings, Oliver North testified that he and other Whie House staff shielded Reagan from the video, because it was "auful", and they did not want to traumatize the sensitive Ronnie the Star by showing him the direct results of his policy. And our always heavily made-up Clown-in-Chief's policy, of course, was to send US Marines to expell the victorious Israel from Beirut, to let Hezbollah back in, and to be blown up by the same Hezbollah they let in. Having gotten away with blow-ups of the Marines and 3 US Embassies, and just a couple of weeks after torturing Buckley to death, Hezbollah hijacked TWA 847 and held terrified American passengers hostage for 2 weeks. They horribly beat and executed US Navy diver Robert Stethem right in front of other passengers. Yeap, totally got away with that too. Ronnie the Phony's only response was the usual one: professionally reading a Peggy Noonan speach on TV, getting us all moved, touched and misty-eyed. So Hezbollah grab a lot more American hostages, whom it would hold through the rest of the Reagan administration and most Bush I administration. Meanwhile, Hezbollah was teaching its skills to the delighted Osama bin Laden in Sudan, with the help of an Egyptian so-called "American" Ali Mohamed. Then Iran and Hezbollah blew up the Khobar Towers killing 19 Americans. Having gotten away with that, moved on to the Twin Towers. Just last summer, Israel, at long, long last gave a real fight to Hezbollah. Cowards Bush & Rice panicked and rescued Hezbollah, a serial mass-murderer of Americans!
