Do you think some Iraqis who "found" this body are friends of ours?
If the American public were to read the ROE's that have been instituted for our fighting men and those few women in Iraq; perhaps we might, as a nation, be more united in winning this war...for we would have started a much stronger fight with our Congress and Administration over how to win it...in other words: We would have demanded that our ROEs were written by soldiers who wanted to achieve "victory at any cost" rather than by lawyers hiding in military garb. Mark my words on this.
Rules of Engagement...get a copy if you can and read it.
Maybe some of those lawyers should be digging some graves with just a shovel for these fallen, brave, American men and those few women who have fought under these limited ROEs.
Sad.

Death to ALL ARABS and muslims worldwide. Every last arab man, woman, and child must be slaughtered.
Nothing would give me more pleasure than slitting the throats of thousands of arab children and watching them choke and gasp their last dying breaths.
THESE FILTHY SUBHUMANS MUST BE ERADICATED. Why are our soldiers losing their lives for nothing? They should be going door to door and slaughtering every person in iraq not trying to rebuild a country full of subhumans.
May Jesus curse the current government administration for this treachery.

I think the use of the death penalty should be swift for the murderer, and captured followers of the sadistical religion aka islam, when discovered assisting in any manner jihad, should require unconditional death penalty, and they should bring back the use of electricity as a method for death penalty for jihadist.

You are a lowlife--you've come on here before, I've seen your pathetic posts; you are a sick twisted lowlife...obviously, you have too much time on your hands.
God rest our brave fallen, and may our troops find comfort in the battles they've won...they are taking it to the terrorists, we just have to be patient for the ultimate result--victory!

Genesis 2:24-25 says, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.â€
Hebrew 13:4 says, “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.â€

I have a hunch the poster is Alan Jay Robertson due to his comment on #15. It truly takes a sicko to do what he has done. Try to make this blog appear as mercenaries. Note to Alan Jay....there are no virgins awaiting you but don't let that stop you from blowing yourself up. Imagine the aftermath, arms, limbs, head, body blown to smitherines only to find your soul in hell. No virgins, no camels, no goats.....notta.....

At least it got its screen name right the second time. Not that I believe it differentiates between goats, camels or camel jockeys.

If there is a remotely good side to this awful news, at least they weren't beheaded on camera. They should not have died, but I'm glad they were spared that.
My thoughts go out to those they've left behind.

These pukes are no different from the Japs we fought in ww2. They are equally as fanatical and follow a religion based edict. When do we fight them like we fought the Japs?
We need a new leader with some sack and some direction. But we don't need a Dem.

". . .Military officials told the family of Pfc. Joseph Anzack Jr. of
Torrance that a commanding officer identified the body, but that DNA
tests were still pending... .
