This post from Celestial Junk pretty much sums up how I feel about the recent news of the beheading and mutilating of the two US soldiers in Iraq this week:
As news reaches us that two US troopers were ¿slaughtered¿ by Islamo-fascist terrorists, we must brace ourselves for the inevitable Mainstream Media outrage, human rights organization fury, and overall international do-gooder annoyance. It¿s going to be quite something as page after page of editorials from BBC to NYT scream headlines like, ¿US Troopers Denied Geneva Rights¿, or, ¿Islamist Crime Evidence that Freedom Fighters are Just Terrorists¿. Daily KOS will launch into days of angry profanity filled rage against the Islamist thugs who committed the crime, and even Al Jazeera will bemoan in giant headlines, ¿Islam Slandered Once Again by Islamist Extremists.¿
Brace yourselves boys and girls, it¿s going to be ugly. Amnesty will of course decry the fact that Islamist terrorists, after this sadistic act, are now even more depraved than the Abu Ghraib bum-pile perverts. Leftist blogs the world over will warn Muslim fanatics that they had better start wearing uniforms if they want to be accorded Geneva convention rights. And, the CBC in Canada and the BBC will come to the conclusion, that the murder of the two US servicemen, proves once and for all that ¿Terrorism is the enemy of all Civilization¿.
And of course, Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, rep. Murtha, Jack Layton, and an army of elite will come to the conclusion that this act alone proves that the United States must remain in Iraq until the job is done. ¿How can we expect the Iraqi nation, in fact any nation, to have to stand alone against such barbarism,¿ they will crow, ¿ All freedom loving people everywhere must stand fast, shoulder to shoulder, and defeat Islamo-fascism.¿
Yes siree boys and girls, brace yourself for the inevitable Socialist Utopian outcry.
