| Three U.S. Allies Face New Threat in Iraq |
| 2004-07-21 |
| New online statements by purported militants threatened attacks against three U.S. allies - Poland, Japan and Bulgaria - if they don't pull their troops from Iraq, a day after a Filipino hostage was released because the Philippines bowed to insurgents' demands and withdrew its tiny contingent. The new threats against Poland, Japan and Bulgaria were worrying signs that militants may be emboldened by their success against the Philippines. The United States and other coalition allies had criticized the government for agreeing to withdraw its 51-member contingent to save the life of truck driver Angelo dela Cruz, who was kidnapped two weeks ago. |

| #8 Lex, findiing Zarqawi is a problem. Raising the price on his head to $40M and flooding Iraq with flyers with the info may spark flames of greed. Worked with the 2 Saddam's spawns. As for what to do with him once found, I would invite the families of those that lost their members to this animal (not that loon Berg Sr., tho), to an enclosure Zarqawi would be held, and I'd go outside, leaving it to their discretion. |

| #5 Only one path forward: Crank it up. Bring it to a conclusion. Find Zarqawi and rip his head off. |

| #4 Or DCreeper, a slightly less "damp" version- For every person kidnapped, we will close/cordone off the mosque nearest the kidnapping until further notice. |

| #3 As I said somewhere, don't the jihadis place road-side mines all over the place? Release the 2 harpies and chances are they meet one of these, Allan's willing. [wink, wink] |

| #2 Personally, I think we should hand over the two Iraqi woman--first their bodies, then their heads. |

| #1 this stuff confuses me.. the solution is so obvious but no one does it. Dumb terror gunny threatens nation A, nation A responds with "For every one of our people you kidnap I will increase our presence by 2, for every one killed I will increase our presene by 5, and for everyone of our children that you even scratch I will send 10 they will test it.. but once it is shown you meant it... they will stop |
