Al-Qaeda vows Dire Revenge(TM) on US marines
2005-05-08
Al-Qaeda's wing in Iraq vowed on Friday to avenge the fatal shooting of a wounded unarmed Iraqi in a Fallujah mosque by a United States Marine last year, after he was cleared by the Marine Corps, according to an Internet posting.

"Oh nation of Islam, do not be surprised (by the ruling to clear the Marine)... as they are crusaders and Jews who have declared war on Islam and Muslims," said a statement from Al-Qaeda Organisation for Holy War in Iraq on an Islamist website.

"We are determined to avenge our brother and we shall not let off or rest until God's law rules the land," said the posting from the group, led by Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Its authenticity could not be verified.

After a five-month investigation, the Marine Corps said it determined that the Marine corporal fired in self-defence and would not face a court martial for the shooting in November, shown in blurry images on a widely aired videotape.

The Iraqi was one of five wounded left in the mosque after the Marines fought their way into the formerly rebel-held city of Fallujah.

#3  ROFL! If this wasn't so pathetic, it would be even funnier.

Nah, this is backasswards. And everyone knows it, on some level.

It's time for US to declare Dire Revenge™ on THEM.

THEY, Islamists, intended to kill double, triple, or more the number that died on 9/11. That they failed is of no consequence in the final analysis. They would stop at nothing to achieve genocide against free men. They have no heart nor soul nor redeeming aspect - regardless of how generous one may choose to be. Not even as the comic relief for being cartoonish misfits and thugs described hereabouts these days. They are the real thing: loose cannons. Insane, barbaric, implacable foes in a bizarre Death Match™ of their own devise. Taking it, and them, seriously is long overdue. They, and all who have fallen under their spell or aid and abet them, deserve to die. Period. Full stop.

They're frequently incompetent villians, but villians all the same. Enough with the Amateur Hour / Gong Show bullshit. Time to show them how it's done.

Time for Professional Dire Revenge™. Fug'em. Hard.
