#1 Look for people with large scale refrigeration facilities.

Come on, folks. How much more ghoulish is this going to get? Just when you think Islamic scumbags can't stoop any lower, they dig a new tunnel. Time to stage some fake auto accidents with a few unclaimed corpses that are loaded with ~~C-4~~ GPS reporting systems. We could win a ton of good will from the people and it wouldn't take a lot to put these necro-kleptos out of business.

#2 ~~Criminals~~ Arabs in Baghdad are stealing corpses from the scenes of car bombings and killings in order to extract ransoms from grieving relatives.

Land of Souk
Home of the depraved

#3 Iraq is hopeless, not because of anything America has done but because these people are not worth the blood we have expended.

#4 Regardless, Iraq is usefully placed as a land base from which to attack or interdict so many of the regions playas. Helping stabilize the country is a plausible reason for keeping troops there, and expanding permanent cantonments. Not to mention, as lotp once explained, the more training foreign troops receive from us, the more professional they become and, even more importantly, the better they understand what a very bad idea it would be to ever go up against us.

#5 Iraq was the next place after Afghanistan because it was right smack dab in the center of gravity of the Axis of Bad-A$$ Dudes, to wit:
*Iran
*Syria
*Saudi Arabia

Iraq was always known to be difficult because it is in the Middle East, and it has been under the thumb of a ruthless dictator for 35 years or so, and has had a brutal history before that. In short, it is a disfunctional sh*thole, fueled by oil money.

So the idea was to establish a base for neutralizing or dismembering similar neighboring oil-fueled dictatorships that brought their psychotic ideas and mischief to the world, and ultimately the US.

To do this required that we be strong of will, and appropriately forceful and brutal. It appears that we, collectively as a nation, now lack this will to do what must be done to achieve our goals.

If we lack the will to take the bull by the horns, it just brings us closer to the ultimate brutality of Wrechard's Three Conjectures. Like the Fram filter guy sez, "Pay me now, or pay me later."

This corpse ransom enterprise is just another symptom of the thuggery of the society. Just think what could have been done if, for example, Tater and his Tots militia were exterminated back in 2004, when they started their reign of terror. Instead of making an example out of these thugs, we played footsie with Sistani, and ultimately Tater. By destroying Tater and his minions, we would have sent an appropriate message to the Iraqi people that these behaviors are a dead end, and cease and desist these type of activities.

As long as there are no consequences for these behaviors, they will continue, and our troops will be stuck in this meat grinder. This applies to Syria and Iran, and to Saudi Arabia, too.

It is not hopeless. Reports like this infuriate us. But to be honest, the disrespect I have seen for Life and decent things that we see in this article I ahve seen among the worst US gangs and other criminal element. Dirt is Sirt no matter where it is

#7 LSU Fan:

Omavath may be right, been there a few times. My assessment is they are "hopeless" as is much of the Muzzie ME. I hope we've learned a lesson from this kak and stay the phuech outta Africa and the ME. It ain't Kansas, it ain't never gonna be Kansas, not in 10,000 years. Stay clear of it and let them slug it out.

#8 Problem is that it always ends up outside their yard and into yours. Do you deal with it pre-emptively, or do you wait until it's knocking on your door?

#9 I'll take "Pre-emptively" for $1000, Alex.
