I went out into the dinning area at work today to chit-chat for a few minutes with my employees. It was the usual conversation for a minute or two and then one lady asked me how my son is doing.
I started replying, but before I could say much she got to what she apparently was wondering. She asked, ‘How does it make you feel to hear about what happened to those soldiers?’.
This particular woman isn’t known for her tact and the question didn’t particularly bother me, but it obviously bothered the others sitting at the table.
Another one of my employees chastised her for asking. She hushed her. I started saying it wasn’t a problem and they all started talking at once, chastising the woman who asked the question and changing the subject.
Before I knew it they were talking about a shoe sale and my head was spinning. I was again impressed with their ability to side-step subjects that make them uncomfortable. They are very good at it.
As we continued to talk about shoes I became increasingly aware of the lump in my throat and the rage in my heart.
That rage has been sitting there for a while and it leaped to the forefront a couple of days ago when I read what those animal muslim jihadists did to those American Soldiers.
I went to my office but couldn’t concentrate on anything having to do with work. I found myself thinking of those Soldiers and what they went through.
I haven’t been able to get it out of my mind.
It’s outrageous that the media and the liberals are strangely silent about it. I heard a lot about the guy in wherever that our Soldiers are accused of killing. I saw pictures of him and pictures of people wailing and carrying-on over his body.
There was a long segment on the network news about that tonight.
Let the American people see what is being done to our Soldiers.
President Bush needs to tell the American people what happened to those Soldiers. He needs to let the people know what we are fighting and quit white-washing the actions of our enemies.
Send a CLEAR MESSAGE to our enemies.
I also think of those boys being accused of murder, being threatened with a death sentence. I almost can’t bear to think of what they are going through.
I saw one of the president’s advisers on TV tonight saying something to the effect that we are more civilized than the enemy and therefore more is expected of us. He said putting our Soldiers on trial for murder will show the world that we hold them to a higher standard.
That’s all well and good, but lets not use these Soldiers to prove a point.
That’s not the message we need to send.
The unrest in this country is the intense anger the people are feeling.
We are tired of being blamed for everything that is wrong in the world.
We are tired of being at war and not fighting the war.
We are tired of our Soldiers being put in harms way with their hands tied and with instructions to be sensitive to the enemy.
We don’t WANT sensitive Soldiers! We want Soldiers who are good Soldiers.
We are tired of the core democratic leaders spinning everything using sophomoric debate tactics to shut up any opposition.
We are tired of hearing the liberals give sympathy to muslim jihadists while finding fault with America, Americans and American Soldiers.
We are tired of hearing about Israel bombing Palestine while Palestine gets a pass on the horrors they commit.
We are tired of being chastised for mohammad cartoons while Jesus in Urine is praised as an object d’art.
We are tired of communists and socialists judging everything we do and say and trying to overtake our country.
We are tired of hearing from celebrities who think their fame and wealth translates into a superior understanding of world politics and warfare.
We don’t want the President apologizing for talking tough!
WE WANT A TOUGH PRESIDENT. We want the President to maintain the tough posture he had in the aftermath of 9/11.
The President needs to speak up and send a very clear message to the world. Tell the world that we will not be passive victims. We will not tolerate the continued mistreatment of our Soldiers.
What was done to those boys was an act of war in itself.
We need to send a clear message to the world that we will not tolerate this and there will be a reckoning.
Unleash the dogs of war and let it be done.
When the mutilated bodies of Tucker and Menchaca were found, the Soldiers could not immediately recover their bodies. The bodies were set up as a trap.
They had been tortured. Their eyes had been gouged out, their tongues and penises cut off. They had been mutilated and finally beheaded. They were not recognizable. DNA test have been ordered to positively identify them.
They died a horrible death in defense of their country. Doesn’t this deserve more than one day of brief news coverage?
17 heads were found in fruit baskets in the same area as the remains of these Soldiers.
Doesn’t this tell us who our enemy is? I think that’s something we should know.


Ptc. Thomas L. Tucker (right) was 25 years old. Pfc. Kristian Menchaca (left) was 23 years old.
Army Specialist David J. Babineau was killed in the attack that resulted in the capture of Tucker and Menchaca.

The liberals says our Soldiers are monsters. They aren’t. They are normal Americans from normal American homes with normal American families.

Michelle Malkin says Speak Up, President Bush. So does Gateway Pundit.
Wordsmith has a wonderful article on the lost Soldiers at Flopping Aces.
Ankle Biting Pundits exposes more hate filled intolerance from the Party of Tolerance. Disgusting.
The Gay Patriot reports on another disgusting example of using these mens’ barbaric murders as political foder.
Allah supposes how the Greatest Generation would have responded to such a atrocity. He says there are indications our troops are starting to follow their example. GOOD!

Frat pranks that killed people, you mean?
You sorry bunch of right-wing suckers.
You have to feel sorry for you mentally challenged folk, even when you do have family in harm’s way because of shortsighted bigotry and stupidity that you constantly and consistently mistake for patriotism.
Stupid. You’re just stupid. There’s no other word for it. Fortunately it’s only two syllables and you guys generally know its meaning.
