1. Terrible news!

Can this stupid war get any worse?

[AlCzervik]

2. i'm afraid it will

[AlCzervik]

3. Just confirmed...beheaded.

[GreenPartyVoter]

23. Oh, no. :^(

[neoteric lefty]

4. Sad... but this is what happens

when a President uses our forces in irrational ways around the world. Sad day, for S. Korea.

7. Sad Days for the Human Species

Evil is rising. Totalitarian is rising. Dicatatorship is rising. Lies are rising.

Liberty is failing. Integrity is failing. The Constitution is failing and perhaps already gone. Same for the Bill of Rights.

Secret Police all over the world are once again donning the uniforms they discarded in the 90s. The Final Push to Totalitarianism hasn't even yet begun.

These may be the crucial years in which the Human Species finally tipped over into the Extinction Zone.

12. And what's Bush's solution??

Stay the course..

Idiot.

[wtmusic]

5. Oh God

horrible

[Catherine Vincent]

6. Bush will regret the day he said "Bring em on".

[leftofthedial]

9. he doesn't care

even if his cabal is deposed in November, the bushgang have looted trillions of dollars

they'll laugh all the way to the bank, just as they did after the Raygun George the First reigns.

[Mandate My Ass]

10. No he won't

we will though. No accountability - no regrets.

[jackstraw45]

He's never made a mistake...he couldn't think of a SINGLE one in 3 years

If that infamous press conference didn't convince Americans that he's a mentally ill person, I don't know what will.

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. I hate Bush.

This is all his fault and is only going to get worse. Bastard.

MR. KIM SUN-IL....May he rest in peace. :cry:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Bush Is An Idiot No Doubt

but the war on terror still has to be prosecuted...


We need a weed and seed approach...

We need to destroy the barbarians who commit these heinous acts while ameliorating the conditions that give rise to these monsters...

[DrWeird]

13. "Ameliorate the conditions that give rise to these monsters"

Alright, stop torturing people at Abu Ghraib.

Jesus fucking christ, it's not rocket science.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. That Would Be A Good First Step

Also we need to stop supporting Middle East despots and find a just solution to the Israel-Palestine problem...

This probably won't completely eliminate the terrorists but it will make it easier to bring other people abroad...

[physioex]

20. I hope you aren't holding your breath waiting for that to happen...EOM

[TeeYiYi]

26. Ameliorate . . .

Stop torturing people . . . period.

Stop killing innocents in the Middle East.

Stop propping up Israel.

TYY

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. I understand that.

Bush has exacerbated the situation with his..."Bring 'em on", "Wanted: Dead or Alive" and "Axis of evil" approach And his preemptive, illegal attack on Iraq and his pure ARROGANCE in this "fight on terror." When did all of these beheadings begin? :shrug: I lay this at HIS feet and I hope he burns in hell.

[hlthe2b]

14. Oh, God! I am still haunted by that tape of him begging for his life....

Just more "geopolitical" fodder, I guess. I hope he is at peace, if the news is true.

[eleny]

17. Me too

I just can't stand it, anymore.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. It's Sad...

I thought they would spare him because by executing a person of color they are alienating people from their cause...


I believe their demands are non-negotiable. How can you negotiate with nihlists....

[alcuno]

16. Did I read that the US gov held off telling the SK gov of his kidnapping

until after a recent vote to deploy troops in Iraq?

[TeeYiYi]

28. Oh, I hope not. ...n/t

TYY:grr:

[Solly Mack]

19. and the cycle continues

on days like today, I despair

[OKNancy]

22. No Mercy

I thought maybe, just maybe...but no mercy.

[montanacowboy]

21. And what will our leader say in a speech today?

..terra....get those killers...murderers...war on terra....round em up....we won't stop till they are all killed...blah blah

isn't it funny that all those people in all those countries who opposed the war are under the thumbs of dictitorial bastards who have to "keep good relations with Washington" by sacrificing their own -

un friggin believable... and probably more to come

[kentuck]

24. Does that mean S Korea will send in the White Horse division to help..?

us out? That could be a plus for the American troops? Who knows the machinations underneath the dark surface of war?

[Bandit]

29. Well one thing I remember from Vietnam was how feared ROKS were

by the enemy. They were known for their savagery and the best way for us to get information from a captured enemy was to suggest we would turn them over to the ROKs. It almost always did the trick.
