Fcuken sick freaks - chanting 'god is great' while they blow people up, cut their throats etc...  :o  :o Don't deserve to live.

I don't see that it's much different than the Western coverage of the US et al blowing the cr@p out of various targets in Iraq during the previous and current gulf war(s)…realistically the only difference is the ideology……

True. But still, calling on the assistance of God, praising God etc..., in this way really :o's me, whichever side is doing it. If you are going to go around killing people and so on, at least have the courage to say the real reason for it and then stand by that reason - don't try and claim back some sort of moral justification by chanting slogans to whatever deity you happen to believe exists.

I think its amazing how the Iraqi resistance are now the ones posting their explosive exploits on the internet

If any Aussie troops die in Iraq I'll be quite annoyed. Thank God the Prime Minister has our troops well off the real frontlines, apparently we are in a relatively safe area. Here's the non-US/UK coalition fatalities:

Italy (19)

Poland (13)

Spain (11)

Ukraine (

Bulgaria (6)

Slovakia (3)

Netherlands and Thailand (2 each)

Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Hungary and El Salvador (1 each)

So, its more “morally justified” to press a button and kill numerous, often innocent, people with a bomb or cruise missile from miles away? At this point, the figure for civilian deaths is somewhere between 7,000 to 14,000 (dependant on the source)

As far as the whole god thing goes, our good friend George seems to be a dab hand at wheeling Him out as justification for his actions:

"God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did, and now I am determined to solve the problem in the Middle East. If you help me I will act, and if not, the elections will come and I will have to focus on them." - George W. Bush to Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.

from that distance I reckon the tank was an abram

if the IED did hit the sides, front, back position the occupants inside woulda survived, but since it looks like it hit the bottom of the abram, I reckon the soldiers inside woulda died

No, it isn't. And I didn't say it was.

Got a source for that Bush quote? Doesn't sound credible - he got into major problems for using the word 'crusade' a while back, and since then has tried to keep religion out of it (publicly at least).

No worries

As you might have guessed, I am not a big fan of the zealots on either side...
