| Just heard the American hostage held in Saudi Arabia has been beheaded. Looks like Bush's war on terror instead of making us safer, is having the opposite effect . This is the 2nd beheading of an American in little over a month. Can you say Abu Gharib? If this is considered progress... :whip: |

| War on Terror should be called war on rising oil price. |

The head Terrorist MFIC on the Saudi peninsula was killed by Saudi forces right afterwards with a few of his thugs. The US pounded the hell out of a suspected Al-Zarqari hideout in Fajullah yesterday, martrying about 18-20 more thugs in the the gang that beheaded the last guy. Payback is a mother...
Beheading is an accepted form of capital punishment in the Arab world, but capital punishment without any sort of tribunal or trial is not accepted by any Muslims or Arab nations. I expect we may see some more beheadings if terrorists capture Westerners. I also expect to see some unbridled firepower whenever the US suspects a key terrorist is in a particular grid square.
:p

Whatever happened to "no blood for oil"? That was a pretty cool catchphrase for a while. Until people started to realize that the US wasn't there to steal. ($10 billion in oil revenues added to the Iraqi Infrastructure Fund over the past 6 months...)
I don't blame the rest of the world though. When the Europeans had the power to fight wars abroad, they never stayed to fight on behalf of those they had colonized. I guess perhaps they're a little miffed that that's what the US has done in every major war it's ever fought. |

The "war about oil" cry really was narrowed down to a selected small group of Bush/coorporate-hatin' conspiracists. It may have shared a little more popularity at one point with a few others, but I think common sense prevailed in the end on the true intent for this war.
To think that oil DIDN'T play a role in the decision, however, is not merely ignorant, it is a falsehood. But I could never believe it to be the primary motive for war.

What is this, Revisionist History day? How far back do we have to look to see our cut-'n-run war tactics? Umm, how 'bout Gulf War I with Bush's papa?
How 'bout Vietnam?
These were major wars, weren't they? |
