Disgusting Display of complete Idiocy

I'm fuming mad. Why? Well, a series of posts from blogs I frequent came to a head. Let's start backwards. This horrendous peice is from an interview with a captured Iraqi terrorist (note the lack of the word "insurgent") and speaks of what they did to an Iraqi police officer. The whole thing is here.

Interviewer: How did you punish him?

'Adnan Elias: We whipped him.

Interviewer: You whipped him?

'Adnan Elias: Yes, Muhsin did.

Interviewer: And you?

'Adnan Elias: I didn't whip him. I just stood there holding the gun.

Interviewer: Go on.

'Adnan Elias: They told us to take him to the house of Habib 'Izzat Hamu. We took him out there. We said to him: "Why did you do this and that… Why are you after us?" He answered: "It's out of our hands. We get orders." Then we were told to bring a knife.

Interviewer: You slaughtered him?

'Adnan Elias: Yes, sir. Habib 'Izzat Hamu got the knife. He slaughtered him, and when he was dead, he opened his shirt buttons and cut open his stomach.

Interviewer: Who opened him up?

'Adnan Elias: Muhsin, sir.

Interviewer: When a doctor performs an operation he wears a surgeon's mask over his nose and mouth.

'Adnan Elias: No sir, he didn't wear one.

Interviewer: He didn't wear one?

'Adnan Elias: No sir, he didn't wear one. He cut open his stomach and took stuff out.

Interviewer: What did he take out?

'Adnan Elias: I don't know, his guts.

Interviewer: Weren't you nauseous? Didn't you vomit?

'Adnan Elias: You mean Muhsin?

Interviewer: No, you.

'Adnan Elias: I was standing a little bit aside.

Interviewer: And he didn't vomit or get nauseous?

'Adnan Elias: No, sir.

Interviewer: What is he, Dracula?

'Adnan Elias: Huh?

Interviewer: Go on.

'Adnan Elias: Yes, sir. He opened him up, took stuff out, and put TNT and explosives inside. Then he sewed up his stomach with thick thread.

Interviewer: With thread?

'Adnan Elias: Yes. And a needle. He put the buttons back in place...

Interviewer: He buttoned him up.

'Adnan Elias: Yes, he buttoned him up. We were told to take him in the car near the square in Tel A'far. We threw him there and placed his head back on his shoulders.

Interviewer: My God!

'Adnan Elias: 15 to 30 minutes later they told his family to come and get their son. His father came with two policemen. They picked up the body and made no more than two steps – we were standing far away – Ahmad Sinjar pressed the button.

Interviewer: By remote control.

'Adnan Elias: The body exploded on them, and they died.

Interviewer: So his father and the two policemen died.

'Adnan Elias: Yes sir, and we took off.

Needless to say, that's really disturbing. Now on top of this, you have two complete id...phew...calm down...two individuals who write that they support this crap. The first can be found here. After reading some statements in her article, it's fairly obvious she doesn't have any facts straight...and only makes a feeble attempt to back anything up with a genaric referance to publications, but brings no specifics to the table. Then she claims that the US has been "carpet bombing" Iraq. Uh...yeah, right. She wouldn't know a carpet bombing if it slapped her in the face. Anyone whose seen an endless stream of 500 lbs bombs emptying out of a B-52 will tell you what carpet bombing *REALLY* looks like.

The first step towards adopting such a plan of action is understanding why supporting Iraqi resistance groups is the imperative flipside of our support for US troops-even if we don't know, understand, or agree with the politics of the resistance groups themselves.

Yeah, makes lots of sense, "I don't understand why you kill your own people, but I support you anyway." Wow...simply...wow.

The second article is more disturbing, because this man says he would continue to support the terrorists in Iraq even if his son was serving there.

For myself, I can say without hesitation that I support the "insurgency", and would do so even if my only 21 year old son was serving in Iraq. There’s simply no other morally acceptable option.

Wow. So it's ok, if these guys go ahold of your son, shoved some explosives in his innerds and gave you a call to come pick him up? Wow.

Then he goes on to quote the Declaration of Independance to support his twisted view. The sickness exhibited leaves me speechless.
