The Iraqi bastard regime is preparing now the public opinion in order of their masters for american and jewish military actions agains Iran, the main enemy of their US masters and the criminal mass murder Sharon. By the words of the puppet regime minister of defence Hazim al Shaalan the Iran is the still \"Main enemy of Iraq\". Iran is trying to kill our \"Democracy\" this traitor swine claimed. A dirty puppet dictatorship propagandized by it's masters as democratic led by a minority of corrupt Iraqi criminal vultures to bear down again the shiite mayority while thousands of jewish myrmidons using Iraq as outpost closer to Iran as a base for Israeli intelligence operations. You only have to read the PNCA Protocol written by fascist and jewish US bastards to understand the raid of Afganistan and Iraq as a part of a holy war. This nations have been primary invaded for a strategic encircle of Iran for the final slaughtering of the american main enemy, the Iranian goverment (approved in a plebiscite with 98 percent in 1979 after a revolution agianst the US puppet regime used to embank the russian influence) which kicked out the US puppet Shah Reza Pahlavi. For punishment the US sleaze replied quickly and incited their new hired stooge Saddam Hussein within one year to cancel border treaty and to declare open war in 1980 which finalized in a bestial US proxy war in 1982 till 1988 fully backed and supplied with chemical weapons by US bastards. But today first they have to break clear their myrmidon troops quickly as possible and so it is comprehensible that they use such bestial methods to liquidate the Iraqi resistance close together with their installed murderous Iraqi puppet regime. And even if the fake democrat bastard Kerry, the ideal candidate of Sharon fully supported by the jewish kingmaker-lobby, will win the elections this plan will not be stopped as sure as fate. A canting Democrat whose false party on it's idiot's parade in Boston yesterday has cunning removed the corporate logo of Aljazzera, the sign of free media in middle east. Kerry is the same dirty bastard like mass murder Wanker Bush just not so horrific sappy and what a farce much of simple minded Americans are still believe this cur is the redeemer for reputation and honor (clean killing and pillage without sexist torture scandals). This jewish marionette will drive forward all these dirty machinations just in a sneaky way using the unwilling European sheeps for their murderous imperial intentions optimally useable for Israeli myrmidons and their expansion plans of Grand-Israel. In his last declarations this cur will neither abandon from pre-emptive wars nor withdraw any US myrmidon from Iraq because of national oil interest and he will not end the fake War on Error but as urgent mission he will restore the reputation of this glory raid nation. Needless to say that this snaky wryneck fully supported the armed raids against Afghanistan and Iraq based on dirty lies. This is a murderous nation of assholes and it will be one. The sick imperial dream is not over, not with fasicist Bush Bastard Regime and also not with the jewish stooge Kerry. If the time is ripe they will push the escalation button like before the raid on Iraq and the public opinion will be prepared within one month for the next \"glory war of freedom\"<\/p>\n","contact":"resistance","link":"www.strike-free.net","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","summary":"The preparation for US invasion of Iran goes according to plan","numcomment":38,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2004\/07\/execution_of_captive1.jpg","filesize":"19.7 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2004\/07\/114755.php","image":{"original":"\/uploads\/2004\/07\/execution_of_captive1.jpg","small":"\/uploads\/2004\/07\/execution_of_captive1.jpgthumb.jpg"}},"attachments":[{"id":114756,"heading":"execution_of_captive2","article":"","author":"resistance","parent_id":114755,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2004-07-28 17:03:54","modified":"2005-08-15 02:59:53","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2004\/07\/execution_of_captive2.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2004\/07\/execution_of_captive2.jpg"}},{"id":114757,"heading":"execution_of_captive3","article":"","author":"resistance","parent_id":114755,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","created":"2004-07-28 17:03:54","modified":"2006-06-28 04:13:16","fileurl":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2004\/07\/execution_of_captive3.jpg","image":{"original":"\/usr\/local\/www-domains\/la.indymedia.org\/public\/uploads\/2004\/07\/execution_of_captive3.jpg"}}],"comments":[{"id":114759,"heading":"fresca","article":""The preparation for US invasion of Iran goes according to plan"\r\n\r\nOh, if it were only true.","author":"promises, promises","parent_id":114755,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-07-29 00:33:10","modified":"2004-07-29 00:33:10","fileurl":""},{"id":114760,"heading":"what frecsa wnats","article":"Fresca wants bodies of dead muslems, christians and jews covering the ground, hanging out of windows and burning in piles.

They would cheer if a suitcase nuke went off in the Chicago subway at rush hour and thousands of innocent commuters vaporized in a flash.\r\n\r\n\r\nTo prevent these horrors, you commit smaller horrors. You keep the sights on the target, and you squeeze the trigger slowly, just like your DI showed you in Basic. And the target\u2019s head explodes in a pink shower of blood, brain, and bone. And one less enemy exists to threaten your way of life and the lives of innocent Americans.\r\n\r\n\r\nSo you move your sights to the next target \u2026 \r\n\r\n\r\nThis is war. \r\n\r\n\r\nBut occasionally you don\u2019t have to pull the trigger. Cowards quickly recognize the discretion that constitutes the major part of valor, and will often give up and live to fight another day. Then you - who only moments before were their executioners - become their caretakers.\r\n\r\nTheir presence puts a strain on your resources; you have to clothe and feed and shelter them, while your comrades are living in holes and eating whatever crumbs they can gather. You\u2019re forced to listen to the insults and the defiance and the hypocrisy of people who have no honor. You suffer the outrage of their demands for decent treatment, as though the charred bodies dangling from a bridge like smoked beef are simply the ephemera of nightmares, not the work of the mewling wretches before you.\r\n\r\n\r\nSo maybe you\u2019re a little brusque when you\u2019re transporting a group of fetid whiners from the holding cells to the showers. Maybe you scoff when these \u201cbrave soldiers\u201d cringe like schoolgirls at your guard dogs. Maybe you react to a rebellious loudmouth with a nightstick instead of Rogerian therapy. You let them stand naked a tad longer than they would have to, and you\u2019re a trifle slow to respond to their demands for an extra blanket or a mint on their pillow. You\u2019re a soldier not a stewardess, and these are murdering thugs, not guests at the Four Seasons.\r\n\r\n\r\nGeneva Convention be damned. Under that same protocol, we would be well within our rights to summarily execute un-uniformed \u201cmilitia.\u201d We are certainly under no obligation to provide them with extraordinary service or carry out our duties with courtesy. We are not required to empathize.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat protection has the Geneva Convention accorded OUR fighting men and women? In Viet Nam, captured Americans were brutalized in unspeakable ways; the captors always found some justification for ignoring decency. Likewise in Gulf War I. Our prisoners were beaten, raped, in some cases murdered. And these were soldiers, not civvy-clad \u201cnoncombatants.\u201d In another world, in cleaner times, such sideline shooters were known as \u201cspies,\u201d and were shot on the spot.\r\n\r\n\r\nIt is absurd to be hamstrung by polite conventions when prosecuting a war against savages. No, we don\u2019t need to take our cues from Saddam. But I hardly think that poking fun at naked prisoners is the same as boiling a soccer team alive in battery acid. The world that has expressed such outrage at America\u2019s indiscretions was oddly silent while Saddam was pulling his citizens\u2019 eyes out with gimlets and Muqtada al-Sadr\u2019s goons were dragging dismembered corpses through the streets. When that world begins to express the same level of discomfort with those atrocities as it does at the photos of naked Iraqis, it will earn some degree of credibility. When the imams and clerics of radical Islam begin demanding investigations into the wholesale slaughter of western contractors, they will show the same degree of integrity America has shown all along. And they will demonstrate their willingness to wage war according to rules of civilized behavior. That in turn will give them sounder ground from which to demand merciful treatment. But until that day, any treatment we give Iraqis beyond a bullet in the head comes from our grace alone. That we don\u2019t line them all up and machine gun them is a tribute to our forbearance. The last thing these animals deserve is an apology.\r\n\r\n\r\nI\u2019ve seen umpires at Little League games abused worse than these prisoners. And all they did was make a bad call at second base. They didn\u2019t behead anybody or make soup tureens of human skulls. How much sympathy am I supposed to have for a group of people who indulge the most savage and cowardly of human vices, then collapse at the first sign of resistance? How much high ground can a group claim when they readily slaughter innocents in ways that make Torquemada hurl? We\u2019re supposed to believe that these barbarians are offended by their cavalier treatment, and that forcing them to march to the shower naked somehow bruises their fragile self-esteem?\r\n\r\n\r\nIn a more honest day and age, they would have needed fear no rough treatment; they would have been cut down where they cowered on the battlefield. The ultimate way to solve the mishandling of prisoners is to take no prisoners. Instead, these poltroons throw up their hands and demand protection under a protocol they steadfastly refuse to honor themselves.\r\n\r\n\r\n\u201cWe should treat them well not for their sake but for our own,\u201d it is argued. There seems to be a large group of folks more concerned about the PR implications of this molehill than about its moral (and legal) legitimacy. Am I to understand that our MPs are now to worry about whether these vermin have fuzzy bath slippers and a low-carb alternative at their dinner meal? Our soldiers are to devote tremendous energy and resources to ensuring the comfort of an ilk sworn to their eradication? What possible ethic binds us to such absurdity? What do we owe these detainees except a hot and a cot? Respect? For what!!??? Their grim determination as fighters? Their sense of honor and military integrity? The ultimate nobility of their cause?\r\n\r\n\r\nHave you seen the Berg video? The charred meat, that used to be a person, swinging from a bridge in Fallujah? The shots of the Trade Center the morning of 9\/11\/2001? These are not images inclined to elicit respect from anyone except underclassmen at the De Sade School of Diplomacy. And unlike the photos from Abu Ghraib, these are not isolated, posed tableaus but slices of an all-too-commonplace reality frozen forever in a resin of horror. Yet we\u2019re supposed to witness such depravity in silence, lest we inflame a pathological hatred against Arabs and Muslims. Worse yet, we\u2019re supposed to suffer pangs of conscience when we see an Iraqi detainee cringing before an attack dog.\r\n\r\n\r\nMaybe I\u2019m alone in this, but I have to tell you, I DON\u2019T CARE. I don\u2019t care if Abdul is so scared he\u2019s crapping his loincloth. I don\u2019t care if Achmed sobs himself to sleep on the cold, dank floor of a fetid cell. I don\u2019t care if he wakes every midnight from haunted dreams of a red-white-and-blue specter. I believe that these creatures should be accorded the bare minimum they need to survive: a relatively weather-proof roof over their heads, a bland, nutritious gruel thrice daily, and rags sufficient to keep our guards from having to stare at hairy naked bodies all day.\r\n\r\nI don\u2019t believe our jailers should be engaging in freelance electroshock or hobby proctology; such acts are beneath us. But we should not be prevented from such violence by any respect for our charges; they don\u2019t deserve it. We should tolerate their pathetic existence only because wholesale murder and the torture of weaklings diminishes us as a people, kind of like throwing rocks at a limping mutt owes more to sadism than to power.\r\n\r\n\r\nAs to the PR impact of our \u201cbrutality,\u201d I\u2019m not particularly worried that the Abu Ghraib scrapbook may cost America its Miss Congeniality title. There isn\u2019t a nation on earth - our Western allies included - that can dodge charges of wartime atrocities. The Brits had their Boers. The French had the Hugenots. The Spanish had the Incas, the Aztecs, and the Mayans. The Germans \u2026 well \u2026 \r\n\r\n\r\nThese \u201catrocities\u201d weren\u2019t limited to poking fun at some Catholic\u2019s privates or tying some Jewish shopkeeper to a wall. Their offenses, where they didn\u2019t leave piles of corpses, left broken bones, scarred faces, and missing limbs. They were truly tortures, not mere inconveniences magnified to scandal through the distorting lens of hypercritical media.\r\n\r\n\r\nPropaganda is a powerful weapon during a time of war -- one might even say a weapon of mass destruction.
