New Prayer Re: War And Our Troops

Thanks for a thoughtful response.

Brandon is fixated on this head sawing off thing.... I personally would rather be burned at the stake.

A hot stake beats a cold chop everytime.

I have made my ideas plain for three years now . . . Miss Olga is correct, i don't intend to play stupid games on that topic unnecessarily . . .

you have?

Regarding Brandon's observation about people screaming while their heads are being sawn off:

Isn't that the natural thing to do?

I believe I would scream.

So much for the liberal claim that they want the troops out based on sympathy for the war casualties. Were that true, they probably would also have sympathy for the murdered hostages. Since they find the topic to be fodder for jokes, the natural conclusion is that the other expressions of sympathy are insincere, and just a vehicle for opposing Bush.

What about the windpipe theory which Bear presented?

BAGHDAD, Oct. 8 -- A British engineer abducted with two American contractors three weeks ago was beheaded by his captors, according to a videotape of the slaying and comments from the victim's family.

The graphic video showing the slaying of Kenneth Bigley, 62, followed the same pattern as the beheadings of his colleagues, Eugene "Jack" Armstrong of Hillsdale, Mich., and Jack Hensley of Marietta, Ga., on Sept. 20 and Sept. 21. Bigley was shown seated in an orange jumpsuit before six black-clad insurgents of Monotheism and Jihad, the organization headed by the Jordanian militant Abu Musab Zarqawi, the Reuters news agency reported.

After reading a statement, one of the insurgents is seen drawing a knife from his belt and cutting off Bigley's head while three others hold him down. The group said the British government had failed to meet its demand to release all female prisoners held by occupying forces at two military prisons in Iraq.

"We can confirm that the family has received absolute proof that Ken Bigley was executed by his captors," Bigley's family said in a statement released by the British Foreign Office.

"We will always remember Ken for his love, compassion and, above all, his 'Liverpool' sense of humor," the statement said. "He was a truly wonderful father, husband, brother and son. The loss to our family . . . is immeasurable. The horror of these final days will haunt us forever."...

perhaps Brandon you would do well to realize it is not the hostages we find fodder for jokes but your predictable and tiresome posts.

Just a thought, but consider that you desensitize people to the subject with your inanities.

OK, Brandon . . . that's one . . . what about your inferential contention that this goes on all the time? In fact, the horrified response to this incident was enough to rather quickly convince the insurgents that this was a counterproductive move. That doesn't stop you from harping on this subject.

As Bear points out, it's not the incident which is the source of the joke, it's the idiocy you commonly post.

US hostage in Iraq executed

14:58 2005-12-19
The Islamic Army in Iraq, the al-Qaida terror network branch led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said in aweb site on Monday that a US contractor who was held hostage in Iraq has been executed. There was also a video posted on the web site showing a blindfolded man kneeling on the ground was shot by a gun. The victim couldn't be identified.

This group first claimed that they have killed the US hostage in an internet statement on Dec. 8. The Islamic Army, which has claimed responsibility for some kidnappings and murders in Iraq, said in a video statement on Dec.6 that it kidnapped a US national and threatened to kill him within 48 hours unless all prisoners in Iraq were released,reported the Qatar-based al-Jazeera TV channel.

The video showed the cover of a US passport and a bank card bearing the name of Ronald Schulz. Insurgents often kidnap foreigners in an attempt to drive out occupying forces from the war-ravaged country.Some 200 foreigners have been taken hostage since the US-led war on Iraq in March 2003. Many of them were freed later, but dozens killed, with some beheaded gruesomely, reports Xinhua.
