Al-Zarqawi did the Beheading. HE WILL PAY THE PRICE.

Quote:



CIA Says Al-Zarqawi Beheaded Berg in Iraq

By KATHERINE PFLEGER SHRADER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence officials have concluded that terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was the person shown on a video beheading an American civilian in Iraq, based on an analysis of the voice on the video, a CIA official said Thursday.

Intelligence officials conducted a technical analysis of the video released on an Islamic web site May 11 and determined "with high probability" that the person shown speaking on the tape — wearing a head scarf and a ski mask — is al-Zarqawi, a CIA official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

The person who is shown speaking in the video — determined to be al-Zarqawi — is then shown on the video decapitating American citizen Nicholas Berg, the official said.

Zarqawi, who is also supsected in the Madrid train slaughters, will pay the f#cking price for what he was done. His crimes are clear and his death is forthcoming.

but but but but but :

1 - what happened to the prisoners was so much worse !

2 - that's what those US slimeballs get for taking those pictures !

3 - it was faked by the US government !

4 - it was faked !

5 - stop talking about it, it's distracting from the investigation that been happening since Jan 16 !

I just read this too. What puzzles me is-- well, correct me if I'm wrong, but on the tape, one of the men claims to be doing this in Zarqawi's name. So if he was going to claim responsibility in the first place, why conceil his identy?

I'm not disputing it was him, I just don't get it is all. In the same way I don't get the stupidity of photographing yourself violating the geneva convention.

NO. The title on the video says that Zarqawi did it.

MARK MY WORDS: Zarqawi will pay the ultimate price for his crimes against America.

What ultimate price? The deck is stacked in his favor.
  • Kill him, and he's a holy martyr...he wins.
  • Capture him and try him,...he gets a lawyer and puts the US on trial instead,....like what Saddam's lawyers are planning....he wins.
  • Execute him (likely by lethal injection)..he dies painlessly, AND still becomes holy martyr...he wins.

...or are you suggesting that he'll end up with a chemlight up his a$$ @ Abu Ghraib?? Gee, I don't think we do that anymore!

Religious fanatics will never be wrong, and will win even as they lose....get used to it. Zarqawi will likely never have his head slowly sawed off....but he deserves it.

I thought I heard that AL Zar was a 1/2 cripple or sumthin? Are they sure it was him.


Let me do the flip side Nie,

1) we shouldnt release the pictures. Its killing americans.

2) release the film of the beheading, we need to see whats really going on.

3) the liberals are glad this happened.

4) this is Kerrys fault

5) This is Clintons fault.

Whatever, he will be KILLED by U.S. commandos. He won't get Saddam's treatment. He will be KILLED ON SIGHT.

Sure, he is going to get humiliated and questioned just like Sheik "Ron Jeremy" Mohammed was.



That fat fu(k fessed up a lot of useful information that led to dozens of arrests.

No. Only one man has the balls to take on and KILL all of our foes -- BUSH.

You really don't get it. This guy doesn't care if he is killed. He wants to be killed.

Whatever happens to him, he is guaranteed to be a martyr. That is his goal.

He cannot lose. Get that through your skull.

NO, he is a liar and a fraud. He doesn't really believe in Islam. He is politically motivated. He is a liar and a piece of SH*T.

What happened to getting Osama?

/sigh

And you're missing the point. Whatever he REALLY believes you don't know, and neither do I. I'm not in the man's head. However it's pretty fricken obvious he does believe in his 'cause'.

As others have pointed out very clearly...he's killed, it furthers his cause. He's not killed, it furthers his cause. He's not captured, he'll continue doing stuff to further his cause.

So as far as the 'ultimate price' yeah you can argue that after killing someone you've done the 'ultimate' to them, but it's not as though that's a big deal to an extremist who only cares about 'their cause'.

And let's imagine in fantasy land that tomorrow some sniper puts a bullet in his brain. Sure, he's dead, and considering what he's done the death penalty isn't an issue for most people. However, what exactly does that do for the larger problem? Not much.

It just strikes me as ultimately ironic and sad that some people scream for blood in the streets but when the 'enemy' does the same they're barbarians and monsters, yet they can't or won't see the monstrosity of their own blood lust. I'm not saying that's you specifically, but I wander around and if I see one more 'NUKE 'EM ALL!!!1111' comment from the various peanut galleries my head is going to just pop.



EDIT: I thought I had quoted Errol Flynn, but I didn't, I was responding to his comments though. I lose at SQL coding. ;(

You obviously don't get it.

It doesn't matter if he is a liar and a fraud. It doesn't matter if he "really" believes in Islam. It doesn't matter if he is politically motivated - who isn't? It doesn't matter if he is a liar and a piece of sh*t.

What matters is that he has chosen to become a martyr. He will achieve that goal. His own life means nothing to him. His victims mean nothing to him. All he cares about is becoming a martyr.

This guy is so empty inside that his only salvation lies in his own death. He will lie, he will cheat, and he will kill to achieve his goal.

But he will succeed. How can he fail? That is the major attraction of martyrs - they cannot possibly fail.

For people who WANT to be martyrs----they seem to spend an awful lot of time running & hiding.

I think if I wanted to die a glorious martyrs death I'd be putting myself in harms way, not hiding in mosques or behind children.


I think they're more interested in getting the other guy to play the martyr..................

Who is Zarqawi?
Well, what do we know about him? Firstly, he's Jordanian and pretty active for a dead guy - some sources reckon he was killed in the US attack on Iraq last year. He's said to have lost a leg.
He's ace with computers and a fast typist - could easily work as a temp - with a 'dear diary' habit. He's also a tad forgetful - he word-processed a long screed setting out his hopes and plans for jihad in Iraq and then carelessly left the disk for the Americans to find.

The loss of a leg is no barrier to his travelling the length and breadth of Iraq to plant bombs - he's obviously an explosives expert. Luckily, no Iraqi ever remembers a one-legged Jordanian buying vast quantities of C4 so I guess he must be a practitioner of some sort of mind control.

All-in-all, the guy's impressive - CIA material you might say.

When in doubt, blame the CIA.

I'm getting a 'G' here. Does that mean anything to you? And a 'P'. Somebody close to you. Definitely. Anyone you know? This person is coming through strongly.

I think if I wanted to die a glorious martyrs death I'd be putting myself in harms way, not hiding in mosques or behind children.

I think they're more interested in getting the other guy to play the martyr..................

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is one of the ways we can show just how sick this martyr business is: Why do these sanctimonious leaders hide their faces? Why are they running away? Why are they hiding like rats? Why do they let children blow themselves up instead of blowing up their own bodies?

I'd love to hear answers to those questions.

Who cares if he is a martyr? He and his buddies get wacked, we win and then we can get on to making the next martyr to die for the cause. Pretty soon, we'll run out of guys willing to sacrifice. One of the great victories in dealing with Qadaffi way back when was that he and his country got spanked so hard he was running out of volunteers willing to sacrifice.
