Ok, we have four contractors set on fire in their car, their burned bodies dragged out on camera, one of whom was dragged through the streets of Fallujah.

See this video of the terrorists burning the contractors in Fallujah.

Then, the perpetrators take their charred remains and string them up so they were hanging from a bridge over the Euphrates, all of this recorded in a glorious photoshoot thanks to the international media, to prove what kind of fight we had on our hands in Fallujah.

Afterwards, there was quite a backlash as American soldiers and marines went in, going from building to building to drive them out. And they found -if I recall–6 slaughterhouses complete with the bloody fingerprints on the walls, and some beheading tapes, but none of this was interesting for the media…because the media’s coverage is on behalf of the fallen Baathists and foreign terrorists.

We have countless beheadings, a man filmed as he struggles to his feet, stumbling through the grass, shot in cold blood. We have vicious, brutal beheadings and corpses like that of Margaret Hassan, found with her limbs cut off and dismebowelled.

There are many pictures of the Taliban and the atrocities they’ve committed on people at rawa.org, at faithfreedom.org - the examples I gave are Iraq examples, but I consider muslim terrorism a part of this big picture:

And now we have the Taliban crying about American soldiers burning two Taliban bodies because the locals had refused to bury them in the muslim tradition, they were bloated, and had begun to stink.

I suppose there would have been absolutely no action on behalf of American soldiers that would have been “politically correct” as far as the Taliban is concerned–because the infidel dogs had dared to murder their precious foreign fighters who were, I gather, Pakistani.

Euphoric Reality has a great comprehensive roundup on this one, Heidi has done a great job pulling different accounts together, peppering it with her own observant and scathing narrative towards the media handling of this incident.

The Australian photojournalist, Stephen Dupont, who shot the video footage that is now being splashed around the globe as ‘evidence’ of American atrocities, has been VERY clear that the burning of the bodies was done for hygiene purposes, and not as a deliberate atrocity. He goes on to add that psy-ops then saw an opportunioty to send a message to the Taliban to try and “smoke them out” and provoke them to fight the Airborne troops.

Heidi at Euphoric Reality has an interview with Dupont in addition to a transcript.

Yahoo News: US Troops Burned Bodies In Afghanistan Because They Stank

Let’s not forget…the Taliban has never shown any qualms about defiling the bodies–dead or alive–of any Americans.

August 13,2000: The Taliban, after inhuman torture of these individuals, killed the war-prisoners and throw away their dead bodies in the streets of Heart city. Thousands of people many of them children watch these dead bodies. No one was allowed to bury them.

So apparently the burning of the stinking corpses of the Pakistanis was “desecration” and “inhumane” but this is not? C’mon now. The Taliban uses the non-burial of their victims as an example to the population–terrorizing people by forcing them to look at the forces of nature as the corpses begin to decompose and change. Saddam did much the same thing with his beheading of women campaign where the women’s heads were on posts outside of their homes–in order to humiliate and terrorize the locals that if you oppose the regime, this could be your fate. Or the fate of your sister, daughter or mother.

Obviously this crying is strictly for the benefit of turning off American sensibilities–because the average American, seeing a photo of a burning body and the outrage from muslims over the mistreatment or disrespect of the corpses might turn a few heads–of people who are not informed about the other side of the issue.

Let’s not forget all the atrocities muslims have perpetrated in the name of Allah and because Mohammed tells them to do so in their holy book.

Jason Coleman.com has a must read on this incident and the motivations of Dupont and Martinkus. Many bloggers are in on this at this point, I picked it up late in the game because of some personal activities that had me away from the computer over the past week or so.
