More Russia

I'll be away from the computer for a while.

For updates, check Stan at Logic and Sanity, Rusty Shackleford, Jeff Quinton and Laughing Wolf, who is translating from Russian sites.

Stan's site has some intense images.

One last update:

..the terrorist shot children in the backs and beat them with riflebutts.

Tried to keep my objectivity intact while reporting this story. Expect an OpEd from me on this later. Sickening is the only word I can come up with right now.

children shot in the back

My immediate visceral reaction...

Take each captured Islamist terrorist, hang them from the lampposts surrounding the school and let the crows pick out their eyeballs.

And do it now.

I might add that their rotting corpses need to be wrapped in pig entrails and buried face down. On TV.

Killing kids? The gloves are off. Period.

Makes you wonder how far it will go before islam gets the clue and cleans up its own house. What will it take? If you look back at history, we westerners can be very brutal folks if needed. It's our own self restraint that is our biggest weakness right now.

We should have learned the lessons of history by now. General Pershing understood what it took to fight this beast 100 years ago. Diplomacy is only a free weapon to these animals.

Bud,

Here's a quarter, go down to the corner and buy a clue. "Islam" is never going to "clean its own house". The cultural xenophobia and myopia make that impossible. Windrows of them will need to be killed. Western countries will need to become Spartan states and stand firmly on Islamic necks while slaying those that resist.

Hungry,
Keep your quarter. You may need it to buy a primer on reading comprehension. You simply restated my point.

"Sickening is the only word I can come up with right now"

How is this unspeakable crime best described? Atrocity? Despicable? Demonic? Satanic? Malevolent? Pure Evil? Outrageous? Insane? Diabolical?...

Words do almost fail. It was a school on the first day of school filled with kids, parents, and teachers for God's sakes.

Ahhh yes, the 'Religion of Peace'...! WHEN IN THE HELL will we make it the 'Religion of Piece(s)'!?!?

On 9/11, a liberal relative of mine called to talk about the horror of that day. She told me that a friend of hers stated that "we" must have done something wrong for the terrorists to attack us. I don't need to tell you how I responded save to say that I viscerally disagreed.

Will the media now call these animals what they are or will they continue to refer to them by lame euphemisms like "insurgents" and "militants?" Will they now agree that this is a World War against terror? How many more innocents have to die?

This just sickens me. My heart aches for these children and their parents.
