Burning Hypocrisy
2005-10-23
This just really ruined my morning. Nothing makes me more sick than hypocrisy. Especially when the left buy into the sympathy for the enemy crap. We all heard the whining recently when PSYOPs broadcast the burning of taliban bodies.

Seems that if it is against their religion to desicrate dead bodies this way, that it does not apply to live bodies? Or does it just not apply to us infedels period? I'm sick of the PC crowd bowing to the enemy in sympathy. They are our weak link people. The enemy doesn't have this problem. They just do whatever they want.

The commander said the four men — identified by the Telegraph as employees of the Halliburton Co. subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root — realized their convoy had taken a wrong turn and were desperately trying to escape from the town when their vehicle was attacked by insurgents.

Two contractors who were not killed in the initial firing were dragged from their vehicle, and one was shot in the back of the head, the newspaper said. The crowd “doused the other with petrol and set him alight. Barefoot children, yelping in delight, piled straw on to the screaming man’s body to stoke the flames,” according to the report.

The crowd then “dragged their corpses through the street, chanting anti-U.S. slogans,” the newspaper reported.


Notice one difference? These contractors were burned alive!! Excuse me while I go punch the wall.

The Blackwater revenge was set up at the US Headquarters in Najaf, about a week after the Fallujah killings. Only one US Marine was on site when a large-scale attack commenced on the Blackwater security personnel guarding the place.

It was a very defensible location, with long KZs on the approaches.

The Blackwater people burned through a hell of a lot of ammo, and were eventually resupplied by a Blackwater helicopter, who evacuted out the wounded Marine. Several of them were wounded, but they had slaughtered Jihadis like there was no tomorrow.

3 1/2 hours later, the Special Forces showed up to bring several cases of cracklin'-cold Pabst which the Blackwater people were in dire need of.

Vengeance is fine, sayeth the Lord.

#3  Remember after the Blackwater killings at Fallujah, the Blackwater people set up a vicious counter-ambush, in which terrorists thought they could attack the Blackwater position and slaughter them? The Blackwater people then killed the better part of a hundred such cannibals, with their own helicopter gunship support, while the US military kept a respectful distance and let them do their thing.

I just hope the KBR people make it a point to pay a return visit to this little hamlet and give each of their employees a tomb of a hundred head.

#1  Much easier to attack unarmed contractors. Dispicable (seems too generous) cowards.
