Post Help me understand these executions in the Middle East

One thing that has never made sense to me is that we 'find' these decapitated people just days after the executions (sometimes sooner). The majority of the victims are filmed prior to being executed begging for their lives, and then, the executions themselves are filmed as well. Now, I know that the room pretty much always looks the same each time, and it could be any place in the Middle East, but how are finding these bodies?

Are we going door to door and just happen to come upone them? Do these executioners leave the bodies somewhere? Are they delivered? Do they call and tell us where they are?

It just seems to me that we could nail these guys with a little more effort. I know that it is not the same group of 5 or so people, but if we could take them out one group at a time, maybe they'd get the message? They seem to think that it will work to get our attention...I say fight fire with fire.

It's probably not the main focal point for our troops, but lately there has been more concern from the public over these executions than there has over the safety and well being of our troops.

That's why I am behind this desk right now and not making that decision, but I'd like to hear yalls opinions.

My guess is they start stinking after a day or two in the hot sun.

I remember reading about one of the executed guys being found off of a main road. Leads me to believe that the bodies are dumped so they can be found.

I would recommend when we find these cells to decapitate the perpetrators, leave them in public areas where other would be terrorists can see what the repercussions of such acts. This might sound harsh to most of us, but public executions are common in the Middle East from what I’ve heard. Just my two pennies.

God Bless America!

At the very least we should be able to start identifying some of those involved. I know that a few, any how have not worn masks
and you would think that we would be able to identify those and go after them.

I think we need to start using some counter terrist $H*T on some of those little bast*rds over there and start putting the fear of God in them.

Its a train wreck....you cant help but look.

Only saw that first one a while back, that was enough for me. I dont understand why they keep doing it? Like were just going to go, ok we give up lets cut our losses and get out of here. I think the terrorists watch too many movies. All they are doing is adding fuel to the fire.

Two words for why terrorist do this:

Blackhawk Down…

Thank Clinton and his coward acts for giving the terrorist hope that by killing a few and putting them on TV will make America run like cowards with their tails between their legs.

Terrorist are hoping that a few things happen. First that we will do what Clinton did and/or America will elect someone that will act like Clinton or in other words the terrorist hope Kerry becomes President because they know that Kerry, like Clinton, is a coward and will cut and run.

This is not theory, this is fact based on history and also the fact that Kerry gave terrorist a clear message he is no way going to take them on “without” passing the “global test”.

I mean look at some of the people in America that lack any kind of knowledge. They are going around making stupid statements that our actions have created terrorist and/or more terrorist. It is the stupidest argument anyone could ever make. Our actions are NOT creating more terrorist because those terrorist were already there to begin with.

It would be like trying to argue that if you go after rapist and put them in jail it will create MORE rapists. Sorry, an argument like that comes from someone that has absolutely no logic what so ever.

Terrorist are ONLY doing what they are doing (cutting off heads etc) because of past examples, past behavior patterns of America. A few Americans got killed and dragged around in the street (this was truly sad and heart breaking) and our top government leaders ran like little wussies rather then actually leading. Don’t get me wrong, our military did not cut and run but our government leaders who acted like cowards ordered our military to get the hell out rather then let them slaughter the whole got damn bunch of mindless idiots in the streets cheering and waving at bodies being dragged around. Had we stayed and slaughtered as many of them as possible then perhaps today people would not be getting their heads cut off…

I agree with your take on it 01. Clinton was and always will be a moron.

The terrorsits think it's an honor to die for their cause, they want to die for their cause and assure themselves into their version of heaven. What needs to happen, is they need to soak the terrorists down with pig's blood or something that they REALLY will be scared of.

I think 01 hit the nail on the head...

I did like Clinton. However, I firmly believe he's the one at fault of a lot of what is happening right now. He's a smooth talker and got along well with others like him around the world, politicians.

Clinton sent our military to Africa to provide assistance in getting the food to people, which then got turned it into manhunts after their leaders. He got involved in something he shouldn't have, he tried to feed off of George Sr.'s triummph in Desert Shield/Storm. He should have stayed the course like George Sr. did - go in and do what he said he was there to do - feed the people. And please, don't tell me to be successful in feeding the people you had to remove those bad leaders - then he didn't go in there with a proper plan or exit plan. He said he was going into to feed the people. He ran from there when the going got tough making us look like fools (storming the beach with the media already there and then running), unlike what George W. is doing. It became an atrocity for Amercian troops, yet you don't hear much bashing on Clinton for it.

Our current situation in Iraq is Clinton's fault if you ask me. Saddam played him. Clinton always did the politician thing and negotiated with his butt buddies from France, the people benefitting from all of this. I see it as we had an agreement, Saddam failed to do his part. When he rejected the inspectors, we should have put a cruise missile through the middle of the building. Can't come in his palace? No problem, heres another cruise missile coming your way. He would've eventually cooperated and shut up like Ghadafi, you know, the one Regan shut up real fast and put in line.

The terroist do this because they have no moral values. They know we cherish life more than them. They know our media will feed off this in a wild frenzy and sensationalize it. They think they can make us run scared. These colors don't run.

I could go on, but the wife is being a pain in the a$$ and wants breakfast, so out to eat I go...

Yea, I noticed the Liberal stance and the words from the bin Laden tape are similar.

Like Michael Moore says ... There is no terrorist threat. There is no terrorist threat. THERE IS NO TERRORIST THREAT!

People actually believe this chit????

If any of you may have the interest to scan through Gracia Burnham's book "In the Presence of My Enemies", you would be truly amazed at the circular logic used by militant Islamics to defend jihad. Any mercy or kindness suggested by the Koran is meant for Muslims only, and preferably Muslim men. The only GUARANTEED way to get to heaven is to be killed during jihad. Their faith is completely works based. God puts you on a scale, weighs the good against the bad with HIS perspective, and if you pass muster you get to go to heaven and join those killed during jihad and the prophets. That's it.

It makes holy war a very necessary thing for them... without it, there is no guaranteed salvation.

Just a really sobering thought....
