180 terrorists escape to Syria at start of Operation Steel Curtain

Up to 180 terrorists escaped from Husaiba in Iraq to Syria as the military campaign known as Operation Steel Curtain got underway, Iraqi Minister of Defense Dr. Sadun Al-Dulaimi said on Saturday.

He added that Syria should stop the infiltration of foreign fighters from Syria into Iraq, noting that the Iraqi authorities have 400 detainees who said that they were trained in Syria before entering Iraq.

Meanwhile, the minister said that the anti-terror law will be implemented soon, noting that those who aid or abet terrorists in Iraq will be punished along with terrorists and will have their houses demolished.

The law defines terrorism as "any criminal act committed by an individual or a group with the inherent intent to destabilize the nation", and states that any act included in the definition will be punished by execution.

will they bomb Syria first or Iran.

"any criminal act committed by an individual or a group with the inherent intent to destabilize the nation",

destroy towns to send the message that if any suspected Insurgents are being sheltered there the town will be demolished such as was the case of Fallujah. The Miltary along with the US Corp. Media are back to naming any Insurgents "Terrorists" which gives the Military great leeeway in their Search and Destroy Missions and presents the idea to the Amerikan public that any resistance to US/UK Occupation and the Puppet Iraqi Govt. will be considered treason and aiding Terrorism.

"Intent" implies premeditation. Bush's defence in this regard is that he's so stupid, he had no clue that his policies were destabilizing anything. After all, his friends are all doing pretty well for themselves. And if he could hand them Syria on a silver platter, well, they'd like him even more, and leap to his defence, saying "no! He's not stupid!" on all their media outlets, to which he would reply, "Cool it, guys! I'm stupid! got that? D-U-M, dumb! don't say otherwise."

Also, "Steel Curtain?" A slightly more refined Iron Curtain. Didn't Stalin come up with that concept? No wait, it was Goebbels. A last ditch effort to divert Allied forces toward Russia. A red herring, if you will.

I think he was referring to the closing of borders in Eastern Europe by Stalin (his sphere of influence). But, you would think the U.S. would shy away from the phrase.

Pittsburgh Steelers football team excepted, of course.

Seems like they are taking a page from Sharon the butcher in Israel against the Palestinians,collective punishment.
Targeted assassinations,and bulldozing of communities won't be far behind.
Freedom is on the march.

We will teach these haters of freedom and democracy a lesson,that we will bring them Freedom,liberty and democracy,even if we have to kill most of them to do it.

They should know by now that they were liberated.NOT!!!

A nasty little atrocity fashioned from the personal playbook of
The Butcher himself.

Next, the US is working up "The Liberation of Shatilla."
Word has it, Sharon may be called upon for technical assistance.

Palestinian militant groups launching rockets and suicide bombing in Israel. Then Israel wouldn't have to do his police work for him.

How do we know it wasn't 180 scared shitless women and children fleeing the U.S. bombs?

Okay, who identified these 180 people as terrorists, who counted them an when was it "discovered" that they had escaped? Smells fishy!

don't they, silly. Boy, you guys don't know nothing.
:sarcasm:

the "identified" the 19 Sept 11 hijackers so quickly from 4 planes smashed to smithereens. They made it up.

That always works well.

want more ways to get ME oil into the West without going through the Straits of Hormuz or the similar entrance to the Indian Ocean at the mouth of the Red Sea. They believe that if they control Syria, they can restart some pipelines and maybe build others, that if they can keep the pipelines from being sabotaged.

If the oil Bushies can't keep some flowing, then it will be difficult to get more support for going after Iran, which controls Hormuz.

It's all about the "O" If Joe and Jane Lunchbucket's "non-negotiable" way of life starts to go south, these creeps know they will need to be thinking about running for the nearest border.

and on and on.

We kill their children from 20,000 feet, but if they try to kill military personnel occupying their land, they're eeeeeevil.

Once you accept that we deserve to rule the world, all these things make sense; how dare they question the holy order of superiority.

How fucking dare they use the Steel Curtain's name in vain for their military conquests!

Besides, the Steel Curtain would have never let 180 people through THEIR line!

The Iraqi Defense Minister is echoing the U.S. line.
If they are in the line of fire, they are "bad people."

Meanwhile, he vows an all-too-typical escalation of
counter-insurgency tactics with the "anti-terror" law.
With the executions and house demolitions, which campaign
does he hope to emulate? El Salvador? Israel? Viet Nam?

terrorist organization in the country.

It is a foreign army, too, funded by a rogue regime outside the country seeking to destabilize it and subjugate its people for the benefit of its ruling class.

If these puppets were serious they would immediately condemn the US presence in their country, and actively and effectively oppose its maintenance.
