why go anywhere besides to the air force when it comes to airstrikes?

</p>
<p>You might want to ask the Marines when the nearest air-conditioned Air Force base is 1,000 miles away, but a Navy carrier is only 50 miles away. ;)</p>
<p>id still get the airforce to do it... i hear marine pilots only fly seasonally.</p>
<p>The rat bastard is finding out there really is ONE God and he ain't pleased with our little terrorist. Payback is a *****
WELL DONE to our armed forces!!</p>
<p>Yeah, this just totally made my day! I'm actually surprised he wasn't blown to smithereens when the 500-pounders hit his hut...he's actually semi-recognizable. Haha, rot in HELL!!!!!!!! beeotch!</p>
<p>I hear his bottom half is in less than proper repair right now. :D</p>
<p>Hope he bled to death slowly and screaming in agony. :mad:</p>
<p>The father of Nicholas Berg, a U.S. contractor believed to have been beheaded by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq, said Thursday that al-Zarqawi's killing will only perpetuate the cycle of violence in the Middle East.</p>
<p>"I think al-Zarqawi's death is a double tragedy," Michael Berg told The Associated Press after learning a U.S. airstrike had killed the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq. "His death will incite a new wave of revenge. George Bush and al-Zarqawi are two men who believe in revenge."</p>
<p>Al-Zarqawi is believed to have beheaded two American civilians in 2004: Nicholas Berg, a 26-year-old businessman from West Chester, Pa., and Eugene Armstrong, a 52-year-old contractor from Hillsdale, Mich. Jack Hensley, a 48-year-old engineer from Marietta, Ga., was abducted at the same time as Armstrong and also killed.</p>
<p>Armstrong's family did not want to discuss al-Zarqawi.</p>
<p>"An evil man is dead, and what more can you say?" said family spokeswoman Cyndi Armstrong, the wife of the slain contractor's cousin.</p>
<p>Michael Berg, a pacifist who is running for Delaware's lone House seat on the Green Party ticket, said al-Zarqawi's death is likely to foster anti-American resentment among al-Qaida members who feel they have nothing left to lose.</p>
<p>Berg said the blame for most deaths in Iraq should be placed on President Bush, who he said is "more of a terrorist than Zarqawi."</p>
<p>"Zarqawi felt my son's breath on his hand as held the knife against his throat. Zarqawi had to look in his eyes when he did it," Berg added, pausing to collect himself. "George Bush sits there glassy-eyed in his office with pieces of paper and condemns people to death. That to me is a real terrorist."</p>
<p>Al-Qaida in Iraq confirmed al-Zarqawi's death and vowed to continue its "holy war," according to a statement posted on a Web site. The group has taken responsibility for numerous attacks on U.S. and Iraqi targets in the past few years.</p>
<p>"I think in this case justice has finally been served," said the Rev. Jerry Gladson, who had been Hensley's pastor at First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Marietta.</p>
<hr>
<p>Just thought you should know. And HIS son actually was killed by Zarqawi. This will merely perpetuate the violence, what's there to celebrate. If you think this is going to END the violence you're a fool, it's going to increase. Sure the Air Force really had no other choice since he was RIGHT THERE, but its nothing to celebrate. You people are disgusting on so many different levels.</p>
<p>"You people are disgusting on so many different levels"</p>
<p>Right back atcha there, Confused! :)</p>
<p>"Zarqawi felt my son's breath on his hand as held the knife against his throat. Zarqawi had to look in his eyes when he did it,"...</p>
<p>Yes, while he slowly sliced off Nicks head...took him SEVEN minutes.... And we are the disgusting ones???</p>
<p>Your moral outrage, as predictable, is sadly misplaced!</p>
<p>Re-read #4 here, and then go away .</p>
<p>confused, burn your bra.</p>
<p>pff take about quoting a LINE out of context, that quote was made by the father of the person whose throat was slashed, as if he's being the antagonizer here. In Haditha the Marines shot an elderly man on a wheelchair, that sounds just as bad what you mentioned.</p>
<p>i think his words were coming more from his green party pacifist beliefs and less from his fatherhood.</p>
<p>nevertheless, burn it!</p>
<p>Oooh! Oooh! He's here! COOL!</p>
<p>Been waiting all day!</p>
<p>Let me guess! We are the bad guys, we're evil for celebrating, it's all Bush's fault, thousands of innocents murdered, it's all Bush's fault, America is evil, it's a political trick, America is evil, we're all warmongers, etc., etc., etc....</p>
<p>So, how close did I get? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Is he ticked off that his posterchild is now smoking Satan's ***** rather than killing Americans?</p>
<p>:D</p>

<p>Israeli Strike Kills Hamas Enforcer
Jun 08 5:12 PM US/Eastern</p>
<p>GAZA CITY, GAZA Strip</p>
<p>"An Israeli air strike Thursday killed the top Hamas enforcer in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian hospital officials and group members said.</p>
<p>Israel has accused militant faction leader Jamal Abu Samhadana of spearheading rocket attacks on Israel and of the fatal 2003 bombing of a U.S. convoy in the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>Two other people were killed and seven were wounded in a strike on a Popular Resistance Committees training camp."</p>
<p>You know, one of these days these idiots are going to have that light bulb that turned on for the rest of us during the Rennaissance go off, and they're going to realize they're not going to win.</p>
<p>Of course, with the Fifth Column we have here in the United States and infesting Europe, the sad fact is it's going to take a lot longer.</p>
<p>you know, Z, i never really agreed with your "if the other side WANTED us to lose, what would they do/say differently," you know, today...i have to admit, i think you are right</p>
<p>It's really sad, isn't it? :(</p>
<p>"Is having this much fun even legal?" Yes, and a great "high" it is too!! </p>
<p>This thread is killing me!!! Now that I read the thread I find I'm walking around the office and suddenly I get an attack...ROFLMAO!!! </p>

<p>confused,</p>
<p>shouldn't you be studying for finals or getting a summer job?</p>

Zarqawi Planned to Top 9/11 Attacks</p>
<p>The New York Times reports today that before his death, top al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al Zarqawi trained about 300 foreign fighters in Iraq and sent them back to their home countries, where they awaited orders to carry out strikes. </p>
<p>But the paper makes no mention of Zarqawi's most ambitious foreign attack plot, which nearly succeeded two years ago: a weapons of mass destruction strike that intelligence officials estimated would have killed 20,000.</p>
<p>The death toll planned by Zarqawi would have far exceeded the destruction wrought by Osama bin Laden on Sept. 11.</p>
<p>The April 2004 attack, which was all but ignored by the Western press, was foiled at the last minute when Jordanian officials intercepted a convoy of three vehicles near the Syrian border. </p>
<p>It's cargo: 23,000 gallons of chemicals, poison gas and explosives. The target: The U.S. embassy in Amman along with the headquarters of Jordan's Intelligence service.</p>
<p>The Mideast bureau of the Associated Press reported at the time that Jordanian officials said Zarqawi's crew was planning to use to "a chemical bomb that would have killed as many as 20,000 people and caused large-scale destruction within a half-mile radius."
"The terror cell was also apparently planning to carry out simultaneous poison gas attacks against foreign diplomatic missions, including the heavily fortified U.S. Embassy in Amman, vital Jordanian public establishments like the prime minister's office and unspecified civilian targets," the wire service said.</p>
<p>Jordan's King Abdullah II confirmed the details of the attack, and publicly thanked his intelligence chief, Gen. Saad Kheir, saying that the arrests of Zarqawi's terrorists had "saved thousands of lives."</p>
<p>Had the plot gone forward, Abdullah said, Jordan would have seen "a crime that would have been unprecedented in the country in terms of the size of explosives mounted on the vehicles and the methods of carrying out the attacks or the civilian locations chosen."</p>
<p>In confessions later broadcast on ABC's "Nightline," one of the plotters revealed that he began training for the mission in 2001 in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>"After the fall of Afghanistan, I met Zarqawi again in Iraq," the al Qaeda operative said. </p>
<p>"In Iraq, I started training in explosives and poisons. I gave my complete obedience to Zarqawi."

<p>Rot in hell, you bastard. I hope you SUFFERED those 52 minutes between the bomb impact and your death. :D</p>
