#1 I keep reminding myself: the jury's still out on whether these people can be civilized. We need to keep trying, before we give up on them once and for all. Islam really is a religion of peace, we just have to give them a chance to rid themselves of the loonies. They're a different culture, be tolerant patient with them...

It's getting more and more difficult. And I have a growing suspicion that this war may not be over until Arabic is spoken only in Hell.

#2 No evidence. You would think with all the women and children being killed someone would have a camera.....

#3 The claim about cluster bombs is an obvious attempt to cater to western collaborators. Various murder apologist "peace" groups, including the Mennonite Central Committee, have been running a campaign of lies and demonization against these weapons for several years. Humanity has nothing to do with this, since these groups bend over backward to justify the most barbarous atrocities by their side.
It has to do entirely with disarming the civilized world for the benefit of its sworn enemies.

#4 And I have a growing suspicion that this war may not be over until Arabic is spoken only in Hell.
I keep reading that the Arabic language has a lot of difficulties with things like differentiating between conditionals (this might happen if) and absolutes (this will happen). I even read somewhere that it's hard to accuse someone of lying in Arabic because saying, "I will do something" is indistinguishable from saying, "I might do something." The example used was the Six Day War and Nasser's radio broadcasts stating the the Egyptians were bombing Tel Aviv and had penetrated well into the Negev. The writer (I wish that I could remember the book) stated that in Arabic, it was impossible to discern whether the radio announcer was saying we are bombing Tel Aviv or we'd like to bomb Tel Aviv. I believe along with Orwell that culture shapes language and language shapes the way we think. You may be absolutely right, Dave D.

#5 Yeah, and this "Doctor's" last name doesn't happen to be Heinz-Kerry does it? Oh yeah, that was 30 some years ago in front of Congress about Vietnam, not current about Fallujah! Even if true, it gives me hope that we're pounding the savages, that's the only thing they understand is force.

#6 As an employee of an automotive manufacturer, I refuse to comment on whether car-bombing was devised to improve export sales.

#7 "Iâve seen it all with my own eyes. The U.S. later removed the unexploded bombs by soldiers picking up the bomblets and putting them in their helmets."

This would NEVER happen. This line alone calls into doubt every remark the 'good Doctor' makes.

#8 I personally love this line The U.S. induces aggression. If you donât attack me, I will never attack you. The U.S. is stimulating the aggression of the Iraqi people!"

By telling us NOT to attack you you are stimulating our aggresive tendencies! You know...screw cause and effect..I'm wondering if the entire arab world has terminal cancer of the brain. This is simple logic they are failing to grasp.
