Terrorists SUCK

[Silus]

To be honest, it is "recruiting". I am currently in Baghdad and get to see alot of the intel reports that come out and never make the news. People from mostly northern Africa are coming in swarms to sign up. Most are not looking for a long term fight but instead feel its their "calling" to become what they believe as being a "marter". The last news I saw was our wonderful News agency's reporting 10 Civilian's being killed by us. Yes that was a major fuck up, but what they didnt report was a few of them were killed in a crossfire. Special Ops had chased 7 men into a house. Good news all 7 of them are dead, bad news is 2 civ's got in the middle.

If you care to hear whats really going on just let me know. Whats happening and what you see on the news are two completely different things.

I have found this to be all too true all too much of the time.

Stay safe, Silus, and good luck.

I heard on the Radio Last Ngiht that the US Inteligence Agency obtained a Terroorist TRainig Tape and theysaid itshows kidsa young as 8-10 years old beingtrained to kidnap, car bomd and suicde bomd that thetape actualy showed what they said was a 10-12 years old wearing a vest with explosive attached to it, my question, is thisfor real or just news the goernement was us to hear in the United States to emphasize the real threat of Terrorists,
I do not believe most of what Bush says, he has never ne honest and stragiht forward in MY opnion with the American Pepole and wanted to know if this video was for real or just a "ploy" but the current Adm. to keep support for his war going??

And yes I support the Troops, I never supported the War itself

I'm a UK girl so i'm not able to talk about US policy etc, but what does upset me is the use of those unable to make decisions by themselves about whether they wish to become involved in anything - just absolutely used, absued and ultimately killed for it. Children have been used for centuries, as mercenaries in Africa, recruited and brainwashed still, including places like Sierra Leone etc.

As regards to the death penalty, we don't have it here, and whilst I don't agree with it period (but respect that others do), I do think it would be too easy a way out for people who commit such awful crimes of murder and manipulation, take them out and beat the hell out of them yes, but let them die quickly and painlessly......no.

(I will say I am new to the boards and anything i've just said above isn't meant to ruffle feathers at all, I hope i've been respectful)

I have mixed emotions on the Deaht Penalty, but I do stronlgy believe in 1 case it should be used or considered, that that applies ot anyone whol mollests a child or is arrested and convicted of molesting or murdering a child or involved in child porn, these kind of people get not 1 oz of sympathy from me
