Nicely put.

I’ll say it again, if the bleeding hearts want to prove that they are truly appalled by Americans being slaughtered by foreigners, they need be protesting the government’s lack of action on illegal immigration.

More American citizens were murdered by illegal aliens LAST YEAR than ALL of the American combat deaths since 9/11. And the year before that, and the year before that, for the last five years.

More American citizens were killed by drunk illegal aliens in automobile accidents LAST YEAR than died in ALL of the 9/11 attacks combined. And the year before that, for the last 3 years at least, as records are beginning to be kept of such stats.

Every one of those American deaths is far more tragic than a combat death, for those people woke up that day with no expectation of facing such harm. U.S. military members understand that what they do carries danger with it, they train and equip to face that, and do it like nobody else on Earth. And we destroy far, far more of the enemy than the enemy does of us. Every. Single. Time.

Actually its just one girl who goes to the afterlife’s version of Brazil and gets a retread.

you are a very bad man, iblis, a very very bad man…..

And of course the bias stuns and shocks me…..

I really appreciate it.

250, sweeeeeet.

U.S. and Iraqi forces killed 250 gunmen

Give me one reason this information was not sent to the American people as fast as the last American death in the war……….

just one……..

{crickets chirping}

Payback taking notice….

When the enemy is defeated in battle, and our own media does not cover it as a “success, what “do” you call it????

I’m taking names, ……… are you???????

For that we have the MSM and politcos and the “majority” of the public polled thinking that this is a catastrophic military disaster.

More people die slipping in the tub every day in the U.S.

Time for Congress to ban bathing?

Time for pull out of all tubs?

Those who have no understanding of the history of warfare are trying to surrender over this hysterically overblown level of suffering in the most important War since the Fall of Communism?

Running from the rise of Intolerant Imperialisitic Islam?

Over fewer than three casualties a day?

As Patton reminded:

“Do not mourn that such men died, but thank God that they lived.”

(Without them, we’d be headless, or taken prisoners -en masse- as cowards enslaved by the terroristic Jihad.)

There is a problem with the US casualties. They were the result of a downed Chopper. The MSM loves the imagery that produces thanks to “Black Hawk Down”. They’ll use it to overshadow the triumph of our world minus 250 jihadists/insurgents/rebels/whatever.

I suppose the movie Black Hawk Down could/would be portrayed that way by the MSM.

However,

If you read the book, the soldiers involved were “critical” that they were pulled out and not allowed to continue the mission.

Frankly they felt that being pulled out, reflected poorly on what they had accomplished. If Congress pulls them out so quickly after a fight, that they really won (but suffered some loss), and the US cuts and run and pulls them out so quickly…What the hell were they fighting for in the first place?

In Task Force Rangers eyes what they just went thru (and their mission) no longer mattered.

Since troops died (including more then one Medal of Honor recipient) and we “cut and run” over the next couple of days it meant nothing in the eyes of the troops assigned to perform the mission.

That is just sad IMO.

¿cuál “Estados Unidos”?

The Monster on January 28, 2007 at 8:13 PM

Estados Unidos de América, un país de América del Norte…

o, los estados rojos y azules :)

But then again, WLW is one of “our” stations.

How come only our enemies cities are “Holy”.

One (of the many) things I don’t understand about Islam. They deride other religions for their belief that meterial things can be “holy”, yet consider material things like the Koran and bits of land to be holy enough to warrant the death penalty should anyone desecrate them.

independencia de los Estados Unidos.

¿cuál “Estados Unidos”?

I think we might have to worry if Mexico declares “Los Angeles (the Angels) a holy hispanic city and they must make a yearly pilgrimage to it

Where would the ACLU think of that? Makes my head hurt.

We mustn’t forget the tears we shed over those who have fallen or their families. They have paid a fearsome price. Our thanks to them, and those they leave behind, must be eternal. I thank God that there are not more, and I pray to God that that there will not be very many more in the future.

Well said,

It is amazing what type of damage the US military can inflect when set loose to do what they are trained to do.

Anyone fallen needs to be remembered and honored for the sacrifice they/their family made.

Once again, our military shows the world that it is the most lethal on the planet.

Ironically, it is the left and the media that was responsible for this level of lethality. The left’s use of American KIA to “shame” America into cutting and running in other conflicts has, instead, resulted in equipment, weapons, training, and the ability to kill our enemies in great numbers for few losses of our own.

This dismays our leftist media and the less than patriotic Democrats to no end. This is NOT what they want. Without the “kick” of large numbers KIA, as during Vietnam with those 56,000 names on the wall, they lose a lot of their ability to force an American surrender when we do go to war.

You can take it to the bank that our future potential enemies are watching — and noting — the apparent “ease” and “throughness” with which we dispatch these murdering thugs. I have no doubt that this complicates their calculations as they consider any future confrontations with America. This, IMHO, is a “Good Thing ™.”

Of course, it isn’t really as “easy” as it looks — it is the result of billions of dollars and thousand of hours of training and hard work and sweat to reach such proficiency.

Contrary to what the Murtha-holes and Kerry-turds and Durbin-heads say, we do not have a “broken” military. We have a HARDENED and COMBAT EXERIENCED military. We have a military that can strike hard and deadly anywhere in the world. Our enemies (foreign and DOMESTIC) know this, too.

We mustn’t forget the tears we shed over those who have fallen or their families. They have paid a fearsome price. Our thanks to them, and those they leave behind, must be eternal. I thank God that there are not more, and I pray to God that that there will not be very many more in the future.

The more terrorists we kill in Iraq and Afghanistan, the fewer we will have to kill in the future, in America or elsewhere. Anyone who doubts this is a fool or a liar.

250 to 2. Each of these two fallen warriors will have 125 enemies to escort and serve them in Vallhalla. Blessed be their memory.
