American POW's

“All the major news channels are reporting American troops have been taken POW by the Iraqis. They have been video taped and beaten (which is against the Geneva Convention). Some reports are that some of the troops taken prisoner have been executed. One prisoner is reportedly a woman. God knows what will happen to her.

Before the war started Iraq said they would treat prisnors of war in accordance with the Geneva Convention. Do the Iraqis ever tell the truth about anything?

By the way, they say they don't have scuds or weapons of mass destruction either. It's good to know that Saddam and his regime always tell the truth.”

“Those dirty rat bastards. The images we’ve seen of Iraqi POWs being treated decently and quotes by our guys saying how they almost feel sorry for them seeing how starved they look contrasted with this is really telling. I really hope no family members were ‘notified’ by images of their loved ones dead on national TV.”

“I have been bumping Aljeezera's website for a while now. It's a VERY busy site, as you might guess. I got a full page to load once and saw one of the images, which was of a male lying face up and he has passed on. From what I can tell from the limited information I've been getting------











ALL OF THEM MUST DIE!!!!!







Those #&%!$ing bastards have never played fairly. This is much different then us showing there troops surrendering to us and them walking down a road. John McCain has said that we have laws passed by congress a while back that state we have the right to demonstrate harsh, violent messures toward anyone who has not complied with the Geniva Convention. My only hope is that those who passed on did so quickly, as to not suffer. But I doubt that was the case. May those who have committed these war crimes be hunted down and slaughter like the #&%!$ing mother #&%!$ing son of a cock sucking #&%!$es that they are.



If I was not married with a family, I would not be here talking to you right now. I would be blazing a trail to sign up just so I might have the honor of sticking that #&%!$s head on a stick.

Saddam and his #&%!$ crew MUST die......”

“I don't understand.

You wanted war with Iraq. Surely you know what war is about. Surely you aren't surprised by this. Please don't say you weren't expecting this after all the bad stuff you accused Iraq of.”

“Maybe I do understand. You believed the Bush propaganda that Iraq would simply capitulate and surrender.”

“We do expect it. It is what they have been doing to their own people for years. Good thing we don't listen to peaceniks like you, so others won't have to suffer in the future.”

“Maybe I do understand. You believed the Bush propaganda that Iraq would simply capitulate and surrender."

You fool, please don't talk about what you can not understand.”

“What war is about, Alaska? Torturing and killing POW's is not a part of war, there are rules to follow when it comes to that. We follow them, Iraq doesn't. I'm not surprised by this, as I'm sure no one else here is, but I am disgusted by it. Would you prefer we had no reaction?”

“I'm pretty sure there was no representative from Iraq at the Geneva convention.

I wish our troops weren't there in the first place, but it's moot. If they are harmed, those responsible better meet with the harshest restribution possible. Let's hope this thing is over quickly.”

“Is that really you, you jingoistic hawk you.

lol!”

“Iraq followed it last time, hell ya I expected them to follow it now.



Alaska -- Shove it, pal....”

“And another thing...looks like the only way Iraq can match up is against lightly armed/protectect troops. #&%!$s should be real proud of themselves.



Bomb the #&%!$ outta them!!!!!!”

“Buddha, I'm pissed. I pissed that our president who should be protecting our people has put our troops at such risk and our nation's reputation in the toilet.

That aside, I'm pissed off that these #&%!$ing snakes are using our POW's as al-jazeera torture reality TV contestants. Was there ever a question that this would happen if our troops were captured, though? DAMMIT!”

“Reports are now that the Iraqis are faking surrender so they can kill U.S. troops.

These people have no morals. I don't know how anyone could believe that they are telling the truth about their WMD program.

I saw a former officer commentating on T.V. today that he thought the possibility of U.S. troops coming under chemical attack is actually growing as forces get closer and closer to Baghdad.”

“aljeezera needs a couple cruise missles thrown that them too!! That's not a network----it's a propaganda machine for radical arabs! The blood of the collateral damage, from our rage over this, is on there hands!”

“Aljeezera is a propaganda machine of Al Queda and radical muslims.”

“I saw the video, if you want me to post a link on the web I will. Not sure if you are interested in it. My daughter told me about it.”

“These people doing this aren't Saddam. Are they not garden variety Iraqis defending their land and country?

Don't forget who is the invader here.”

“Alaska - If I wasn't at work, I would have thrown up all over my keyboard. WTF are trying to say.....this action is justified because they're invaded??”

“Let me ask, would it be any different if the scenario were reversed?”

“Since we don't sponsor terrorists, and we don't torture and kill our own people, why should another country have reason to invade? If the scenario were reversed, Americans would do whatever it took, sure, but I think we'd be smarter about it than to use the peace flag as an ambush. Think about it- Those American soldiers over there are going to be less likely to take a white flag seriously if this kind of thing keeps up.”

“After all, Rumsfeld has said Saddam is losing control of his country. If you believe him, Saddam is even dead.”

“Well that's where you're wrong, Nasty. Amerika does sponsor terrorism. Ever heard of Israel? Ever heard of Nagasaki & Hiroshima? Columbia? Iran-Contra? The Shah?”

“Alaska - instead of trying to turn it around, how about answering my #&%!$ing question? I want to hear it from you. I get the feeling that you support Iraq and what they have done. You have done nothing but make excuses.....”

“Ah---- Alaska spells the America with a "k".......could this be someone we all know that likes to push buttons about subjects like this and has not been seen in a while????”

“Do the people of Iraq have the right to defend their country, laqtis?”

“Please at least bother to read my posts if you're going to try and change my mind, Alaska. None of that has any bearing at all when it comes to the present situation. I never said America didn't do those things, so I fail to see where I am actually wrong. Besides, whether I'm wrong or not has no impact on the situation either.”

“So then you will not answer my question, therefore, your point is not made. You support Iraq, what they are doing to your fellow AmeriCans and you disgust me.”

“Place blame where it belongs.You all are generalizing blame.No army is above horrors which are not the style of the leaders.






when your best friends are dying next to you--think of what you my be capable of?”

“Don't forget the Pope came out against the war, and said it was
u-n-j-u-s-t-i-f-i-e-d.”

“So what?”

“Dude, he's the pope. What else is he going to say. Alaska, it's become painfully obvious by this post that you're a troll.”

“......let alone an #&%!$.....”

“Perhaps Alaska should rename himself to another state that is more suiting.. like Iraq. You're not worthy of you're name.”

“I agree, artex! how about Saddams "Head Specialist".....”

“He should be an anchor for Al Jizzeera.”

“I'm pretty sure there was no representative from Iraq at the Geneva convention


Wrong, Phaedrus.Iraq has been a signatory to the Geneva Convention since 1981.You know, right before he started gassing Iranians.”

“This is getting bad I don't know whats going to happen to them!

“Hiroshima and Nagasaki were terrorists bombings? Ok, I'll play along. I guess in a way they were. We wanted to scare Japan into surrendering instead of having the million or so casualties that it was estimated to take by invading Japan. 150k dead Japanese or 1000k dead and wounded Americans. Pretty easy math, or are you one of these revisionist history types who says the math is wrong because we didn't consult how the Japanese would feel?”

“The Iraqi regime is responding in a manner consistent with a group fighting for survival in the face of insurmountable odds. In this way, they are like the Viet Cong, the Tagolog or even the Native Americans. Outgunned, they have no other way to respond than with desparate tactics, psychological warfare and propaganda. I think it's naive to expect the Iraqis to play by our rules. After all, WE didn't "play nice" when fighting the British in the Revolutionary War!

This all just plays into George II's hands - he can point to this and say, "See? I told y'all so!"”

“The U.S. has decided not to play nice anymore. We will use every weapon in our inventory. We begin the launching of thermonuclear warfare on Iraq in five minutes.





Good day. 8)”

“we started the war, we invaded their country, and then we act surprised and outraged when they act like world-class jerks. im not excusing iraq or hussein or his men, but we really need to get down off our high-horse about this. we knew this would happen. we knew we would be putting our men in harms way. we knew they would fight dirty. they have to. that said, we're doing what we have to. id rather take the chance of being wrong about going to war, than not going to war now, and facing a much bigger problem later.”

“Hey 2 scoops -- what would the world think if we did #&%!$ like that? The ME would be calling for our heads......The world comunity would be in an uproar......yet nothing is said by other countries. Our people were excuted....WTF!”

“Laqtis is right.”

“What would the world say if a ME country travelled to the west and invaded, say, Venezuela to affect a regime change?”

“Phaedrus - under your hypothetical scenario, it would be justified if they were in the same violations as Iraq was.”

“It's all moot at this point anyway. We knew this would happen. we went ahead with tour actions anyway, even though there were other options available.

Now we're in it. Let's hope the war is over quickly and decisively in favor of the coallition forces, and that a regime can be placed in power that will have a better human rights record and so forth.

I'm dubious, but I'm hoping.”

“Artex, most of the nations of the world disagree.”

“Around 50 nations back our use of military force in Iraq. Around 50 nations are right.”

“when the war is over they will be tried as war criminals, as is right. but for us to say "oh my goosh, i cant believe they did that. how shocking" is ludicrous. especially in light of how strongly the administration has emphasized iraqs link to terrorism.

"we have strong evidence that saddam hussein has been aiding known terrorists........what? they torture and kill pow's on tv? i cant believe it! next youll be telling me theyre mean to puppy dogs and pull the wings off flys!"”
