...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
i thought about how Paul Johnson worked on the AH-64 helicopter. i thought about how i'd like to see a hundred Apaches descend on those filthy terrorist animals, and a hundred chain guns spitting flame and vengeance.
i thought about how much the Apache resembles a locust. And then i thought of this passage:
The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man. During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.May a plague of locusts descend upon them.The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces. Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.
Oh no. She's quoting Revelations. Does that mean she thinks the war on terror is a religious battle? Does she think this is like the Crusades? How ugly! How un-PC! How unenlightened! Doesn't she know Islam is a peaceful religion. Doesn't she know it's just a few bad apples, whom we should arrest and put on trial? Shame on her!
Oh yeah, it's a good and evil thing.

Posted by: gcotharn on Jun. 18, 2004I want to convey a "reasoned reaction to the events of today, but I can't. It is time for a little wrath of God type display of power. The question is, how do you how people who do not fear death? The answer is quite simple, deny them that which they cherish the most, their after life. Its time to grease our weapons with pig fat and bury these bastards in pools of pig entrails!
I suspect that the pictures of this gruesome attack on an American citizen will not be covered by the news! they ONLY like to show bad acts by Americans, not the ENEMY we are faced with!

She is. It is (from the other side). It is working from the side of Islam. As LGF would call it, "The Religion of Peace" TM.

What, are you nuts? The two missiles from the chopper were all we needed to arrest and try @20 of those virgin seekers. As one senior military officer said early "They all seek to meet Allah and the virgins, and it is our job to assist them." (Well, something like that) I just hope that the virgins all look like Janet Reno.
It also becomes apparent that all these towel heads respect is power, so we need to keep displaying it to keep the less committed from gathering up the nerve to be nuts. Kadafi got it, and others will too, if we keep pulling folks out of rat holes and blowing them up.
More missiles, more destruction of higher ranking al Queda, and this war can be won, even if it is one at a time or twenty at a time.
By the way, "towelheads" is not the right term to use. They actually use small sheets, so the proper term really ought to be "sheetheads". Use of that term requires very careful pronunciation, however.
