US has opened 'the gates of hell', American POW's to be Executed

[Ladybast]

BTW, evidently the "insurgents" have a name and highly structured organization: the Army of Muhammed

US has opened 'the gates of hell', American POW's to be Executed
Source: JUS | 6:50:12 AM


The American Washington Post newspaper in its Wednesday, November 17th 2004 issue carried remarks of Shaykh ‘Abdallah al-Janabi, the Chairman of the Consultative Council of the Mujahideen of Fallujah, an 18-member council of religious leaders, tribal chiefs and Baath Party members. Speaking in an undamaged house in the an-Nazal neighborhood of Fallujah on Monday, al-Janabi was flanked by several bodyguards and wore an explosive vest, with wires that would detonate it dangling a few inches apart. A bodyguard said the religious leader preferred martyrdom to “dying on his bed like a camel,” according to the American newspaper’s report.

The Washington Post quoted al-Janabi as saying: “The Americans have opened the gates of hell, the Battle of Fallujah is the beginning of other battles.” (snip) “The cause will not die if the individuals die,” al-Janabi said. “It will survive until the last Iraqi holy warrior dies or runs out of bullets.” He added, “If the military leaders agree on another area where we will inflict more losses on them, then we will.”

(snip)

The Army of Muhammad pledged in its communiqué to pursue the US military everywhere in Iraq and to take their operations into the heart of Baghdad after Fallujah, a battle that had pulled off masks that had not been expected. The communiqué said that the organization would be publicly slitting the throats of the American troops it holds captive.

Earlier the Army of Muhammad issued statements quoted by satellite TV networks, saying that it had captured a number of US prisoners. Mafkarat al-Islam has also reported that the Mujahideen in Fallujah is holding a number of US and British prisoners. A film of 36 American prisoners was turned over to al-Jazeera and al-‘Arabiyah satellite TV companies, who refused to broadcast it. The US has so far refused to acknowledge that the Mujahideen in Fallujah holds American prisoners. According to a report issued by the Advisory Council of Fallujah Mujahideen, there are currently 136 Americans, 15 Brits and 123 Allawi Army prisoners of war.

1. that many POW's!!!!!!!?

i know they'LL infLate, but how many POWs are there?

[daleo]

7. It seems hard to believe

But, plenty of other things that have transpired seemed hard to believe at first as well.

[Zorra]

23. Have any POW's been acknowledged by the DoD? I have not heard

of any.

And that seems kind of strange to me...either the Iraqi resistance has taken no prisoners, or the DoD is not telling us about the prisoners that the resistance has taken.

It could be that I simply have not seen this information, I guess, but that would be kind of strange in itself.

[ilovenicepeople]

27. "Have the Iraqi dead been acknowledged by the DOD?"

[Zorra]

30. Point well taken and understood.

;)

[Media_Lies_Daily]

42. I'm personally not sure that the DoD is telling us the truth about ANY....

...of our casualty numbers. We wouldn't have wanted to alarm anyone before the election.

And now they can't tell the truth about our actual number of dead, wounded and captured because that would catch them in the original lie.

[soup]

46. I'd go with your second guess.

The DOD is not releasing info on MIA/POWs.

[gratuitous]

2. Now, now, let's not rush to judgment

After all, we don't know the whole context and all the ramifications of this announcement, and there could be a whole lot more to this than is apparent on the surface.

Gee, that sounds kind of stupid when it's American lives in danger. I wonder why it sounds so palatable when it's some brown-skinned raghead getting greased?

[leftchick]

5. brown skinned people don't matter...

to repukes....

[gratuitous]

6. That must be it

Those heathens don't respect life like us real 'Murkins do!

[bowens43]

3. The idiot in the oval office was warned before the invasion

that this would be what US troops faced in the occupation of Iraq. The lives of US troops mean nothing to bush. The lives of innocent Iraqis mean even less. Bush is a lunatic. A very dangerous lunatic. He is playing the roll that Bin Laden created for him. He is doing exactly what Bin Laden wanted him to do.

[DenverDem]

10. Bin Laden didn't create busholini's role, anymore than he created his own.

Both are merely playing roles in this Hegelian farce masquerading as reality. They are controlled by the same group of macroeconomic megalomaniacs, however, to the detriment of the clueless citizens of the Middle East AND the USA.

[freemarketer]

12. Yep.................

[canadianbeaver]

18. kick it

damn straight!!!

[jukes]

22. spoke for me

had you not posted, i wdv said much the same.

[ilovenicepeople]

25. Yah what juke said!

:kick: WAKE UP PEOPLE(REALLY)WAKE THE FUCK UP!!!!

[Castilleja]

49. I think you are correct,

very correct.

[bowens43]

51. yeah right.......

maybe you should switch to copper it blocks more rays then tin-foil.....

[LiberalAndProud]

4. I wonder what the current POWs think of Swift Vets now?

[saigon68]

8. “dying on his bed like a camel,”

WOW, my goodness--- they are really angry now




I guess this cartoon in the Guardian Unlimited really pissed them off.

[The_Urge]

36. Is that a chicken or a dove?

[TahitiNut]

47. My guess would be 'dove' ...

... since 'chicken' is more of an Americanism. I don't recall it used in the same slang sense in the UK.

[xxqqqzme]

9. 'allawi army'

most appropriate - excellent!

[leftchick]

11. It does have quite a ring to it doesn't it?

and not in a good way for him!

[ElectroPrincess]

13. This takes me back to Joe Biden *extremely angry* ...

It was a couple months back at a hearing and I'll never forget that Biden was genuinely steaming mad while stating, "The reason we have the Geneva Conventions is to protect our military troops from being tortured."

Now Joe Biden has a sense for flair but he was NOT acting when stating the above.

That statement rings true now. :(

[The Doctor.]

21. I was watching that one too... It felt like Biden was going to

leap at Asscroft and strangle him right there.

Biden said his son is over there, these rules are there to protect his son and other sons and daughters.' (paraphrase)

[KansDem]

14. "136 Americans, 15 Brits and 123 Allawi Army prisoners or war..."

This represents more than 10 percent of those already killed slated for execution.

I've wondered why we've never heard anything about American POWs* in this war from the Whoreth Estate...

Now we know why...

________
*Except Jessica Lynch, of course.

[VolcanoJen]

15. Well, when's the last time we heard about PFC Keith Matthew Maupin?

He's been missing in action since April, and not a word since. :-(

That's at least one possible POW that we know of. At least one.

[Justitia]

50. I thought of him instantly! -eom

[Dhalgren]

16. There is a statistic that is never mentioned nor given;

that is the MIAs. In combat of any kind there will be MIAs. In urban combat there is a much higher likelihood for MIAs. Yet, never has there been a mention of any MIAs. Odd. This is the nightmare scenario that everyone has worried about. No one cares about the Iraqis - women, children, the old? Who cares. No one really cares about the troops getting killed or wounded - hey, "it's what they signed up for". But, having US troops held as POWs and executed just like we execute theirs - that's going to upset the US public (at least until the next husband/wife murder show airs on the local news).

[reprobate]

35. Could this be what Lil Boots has wanted?

He's been fascinated by nukes since 9/11. This will give him the excuse to use a tactical nuke on fallujah to once and for all rid him of the 'insurgentcy'.

And amurka will remain the ONLY nation to ever have used nuclear weapons in the entire world. We maintane our lead.

Of course the backblast from the rest of the world would mean the end of the United States of America. Economicly, financially, politically. We would be cut off from the world forever.

And that, I propose, is Lil Boots intent.

[Dhalgren]

37. "Lil Boots" - nice.

I've been calling him "Caligula" for almost two years, now. The name fits...

[Barrett808]

44. "I will make you my successor, Gaius Caligula. Rome deserves you."

Tiberius: I will make you my successor, Gaius Caligula. Rome deserves you.
Caligula: Is that a joke, uncle?
Tiberius: Not yet, but it will be.

40. there's a lot of sentiment for that already

I've heard more than one person in the military, and civilian contractors too, opine that we should just "pull out and turn Iraq into glass."

The fact that anyone finds that a viable option has led to more than one full-throated debate. I quote Leo McGarry to them:

"And you think racheting up the body count's going to act as a deterrent?...if you want to start using American military strength as the arm of the Lord, you can do that. We're the only super power left. You can conquer the world like Charlemagne. But you better be prepared to kill everyone and you better start with me, 'cause I will raise up an army against you..."

17. “dying on his bed like a camel,”

why is he killing camels on his bed? kinky. :evilgrin:

[Dhalgren]

20. He isn't, the US is...

[DemBones DemBones]

29. Sniff, sniff.

:evilfrown:

[sniffa]

32. you rang?

[gtar100]

19. What the hell were Bush&co *AND* the Military expecting?

This attack on Fallujah was a massacre. We liberated no one. The hatred is only growing against us. Our military made no distinction between "insurgents" and "citizens", nor will they make distinctions either in the years to come.

Republicans must feel safer, though, knowing that Bush is standing right behind them as they plunge headlong into their war fantasy.

[Barrett808]

24. Let's withhold judgement -- this claim seems unlikely

To my mind, at least.

[sniffa]

26. me too

since the LiberaL media wouLd be aLL over this story.

[DemBones DemBones]

31. LOL eom

[ElectroPrincess]

33. Yah, like the camera lenses have not fully refocused on the

KOBE BRYANT civil case yet. :P

[Sideways]

28. The Story Circulating Last Week About 45 Captured Solders Now Rings True

The Chinese ran a story and it was posted about 6 times on DU but kept getting locked because there wasn't solid proof.

It sounds real to me given the 136 American POW claim.

[TomClash]

34. Hey Skinner!

This story originated on JUS which stand for Jihadunspun. And you said LBN wasn't meant for Jihad Unspun stories? Hmmm.

[Richard Steele]

38. I guess they finally got the word

...that the Geneva Conventions are "quaint and outdated"?

Once again, the USA sets a standard and the rest of the world catches up!
*end sarcasm mode*

The fact that we heve NEVER heard about POW's is just one more example of how utterly CONTROLLED our media are!

[olddad56]

39. what is up with this term 'insurgent'? ...

Only 5% of these people are even foreigners. These are Iraqi people attempting to resist being taken over by a ruthless band of terrorists, who have used WMD on then, murdered 100,000 of their civilian population, destroyed their homes and religious buildings, want to impose a new government on them and steal their oil.

Why are these people referred to as 'insurgents' and 'terrorists'.
They are fighting for their lives and for the live of their country.

By definition, wouldn't George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and all of those who fought in our revolutionary war be insurgents. Wouldn't all of those liberal minded people with a dream be considered insurgents and terrorists.

Shouldn't the propaganda spinners at least have the decency to call these people 'the enemy'.

[Teaser]

45. Insurgent is actually OK.

It doesn't really mean "foreign invaders" or anything like that. It comes from the latin word for "uprising". Our word "insurrection" is from the same root.

[Massachusetts]

41. Submission

Bushco succeeds where Nikita left off, "We will bury you".

Hell, our own governments already done it to us.

[PsychoDad]

43. History repeats itself.

Richard vs Saladin.

One of the earlier crusades.

What's that about not remembering history?

[Tiberius]

48. Ugh, not this site again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please stop shilling for this site. I'm so sick of it. Any site that is asking for me to be an analyst at the bottom of their pages is worthy of my skepticism.
