AMERICAN CONTRACTOR MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD!!! (9.58 mb .rm)
2005-04-22
From one of my mailing-lists :

"Bruce Tefft : Geneva Convention? Eh da? (Arabic slang for "What's that?")

Earlier today, the Islamic Army in Iraq released a video tape of the helicopter crash in Iraq that killed 11 today, including 6 American contractors with Blackwater. The video is profoundly disturbing. It shows the jihadis walking through a field of burning wreckage. It shows dead Americans lying dead in the wreckage.

Then the jihadis move from the open field into an area that appears to be high grasses. They find an American lying in the grass, alive.

He is told "Stand up" in English. The man asks the jihadis to give him a hand. After a few moments, the man is shown standing, and is being encouraged to walk.

He hears them speaking behind him, and turns around.

The jihadis begin shooting him.

The message that accompanied the video said the American was murdered in retaliation for Muslims who were killed in Fallujah.

It does no good here for me to say this is in clear violation of the Geneva Convention. Obviously the jihadis do not care about the Geneva Convention.

Watch the video (but not with small children around). It will make you angry.

(The video is profounding disturbing. It is not suitable for children of any ages. Please take this into consideration before watching the video.)"


I saw the video, and it is exactly as described. Gruesome. I don't know what's your take on showing ennemy propaganda, but I think nonetheless this must be shown as widely as possible, to let people realize what kind of scum the us servicemen and women are fighting in Irak. And theses bastards shout their "allah u akbar" when they kill him. God bless this man, I'm not angry, I'm sad, I'm so sad for him and his family. I know everyday us forces are killing off theses rats, and that they are losing more ground every day, I'm not angry at them, I'm disgusted by the collaborators who deems them "resistance fighter", "minutemen",...

#9  political correctness and racial profileing are words that i cant stand coz they stand in the way of us dealing with the jihadis scumbags the way they should be dealt with, lets stop bullshitting and tell it like it is, they fight as dirty as possible and deserve no mercy.

#8  Sorry. He was Bulgarian, as were the rest of the crew members. He was most likely the pilot or copilot. The Mi-8 vented exhaust to the sides, so IR seeking missiles sould hit it square in the side, causing exploding shrapnel and fuel to enter the passenger cabin and often breaking the helicopter in two. The pilot and copilot, being the farthest away, stood the best chance of surviving.

#7  No anymouse. We should follow the Geneva Convention to the letter.

And shoot them out-of-hand as unlawful combatants.

#6  Just for the record, that was a Romanian crewman that was murdered to the cries of Allahu Akbar.

#4  Watched the video. I think that any Jihadi we capture in Iraq should immediately, upon capture, have his nuts flattened with a sledgehammer.

#3  Anyone that still insists that these terrorist jerks are entitled to Geneva Convention protection needs a serious ass whooping.

The "collaborators" are like an infectious virus, you think you have them beaten, but they are still there, still doing their dirty work. That their actions harm US servicemen doesn't dissuade them, losing elections doesn't quiet them, millions of Iraqis voting in free elections doesn't faze them, new democratic movements in unlikely places doesn't impress them. They are single minded in their quest for power. Curiously, they aren't really for the Islamists, because they hate all religions. They'll side with Islamists against their own if they think it will enable leftist power. Defeat the democratic capitalists and then worry about the Islamists.
