American forces free Canadian hostages; Canadians immediately blame America

Our boys just freed three Canadian hostages. The fourth hostage, an American, had already been tortured and killed.

Note that they didn't take any responsibility for their own kidnapping, nor did they blame the kidnappers and murderers who tortured their American "friend" to death.

They went to Iraq to accuse American troops of abuse of terrorist detainees.

Instead, they found out what abuse is really like.

"They knew that their only protection was in the power of the love of God and of their Iraqi and international co-workers." -- God didn't help them; their "co-workers" didn't help them. Hell, their co-workers in Al Qaeda held them hostage and murdered their "friend." It was the American army which was their only protection.

"We believe that the illegal occupation of Iraq by Multinational Forces is the root cause of the insecurity which led to this kidnapping and so much pain and suffering in Iraq." -- The American forces in Iraq are the cure to the pain and suffering which has held Iraq hostage for so many decades. These Canadians are just too blinded by their hatred of America to see that.

We should have left the pig fuckers to die.

 

Yeah, you're not a hateful person.

 

Is this the story you are referring to?

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/03/23/iraq.hostages/index.html

One of them was from the UK and the other 2 Canadian and was a mixture of forces getting them released.

 

I'm a wee bit annoyed.

 

Moslems aren't pigfuckers just because they don't eat pork.

 

Is Iraq really better off since America went in there? Does anybody remember why they went in there?

Weapons of Mass Destruction Count in Iraq: 0

Why are you still there? To take down Sadaam... who was such a good bed fellow and oil producer for you for years...

The Iraqi people are slaughtering each other every day and are on the brink of civil war. Al Queda has made Iraq their new staging ground with American troops right there to target, no need to send anybody overseas, you are right there to shoot at. Is this really BETTER than what they had before with Saddam???

And you have the gall to say "aid workers" should have been left to die. Grow up and learn how to read.

 

Leave it to silly Christians to go getting kidnapped in Iraq and having to be saved by the army (who thankfully decided not to kill everyone in sight this time).

 

There are a few inaccuracies in your report, Will.

The group that the hostages were a part of is a Christian group, and NOT a Canadian group. They are called The Christian Peacemaker Teams. They are based in Chicago with offices throughout the world.

Secondly, it was NOT these men who criticized US forces after they were released. It WAS members of the same group.

Thirdly, do you have any evidence to support your claims that ANY of the four men originally captured, actually f*ck pigs? Could you post sources please?

And, the forces who rescued them were largely British, with help from the US military.

 

Ok, lemme see here. Al Qaeda attacks the USA. Osama, the leader and most
of his officers are in afghanistan / pakistan. So america attacks afghanistan
for giving them shelter - makes sense. Canada is there fighting with the americans, right now

So then america decides to attack iraq ?! There are no proven ties between
al qaeda and iraq, there were really no weapons of mass destruction. In fact
iraq did absoutely nothing in terms of aggression against the usa.

Yet today, america has thousands and thousands of troops in iraq, while
osama continues to enjoy freedom. So the question is, what the heck is america doing in iraq ? Imagine if all those resources were put into the hunt for osama and friends ? You know, the ones who actually attacked the US ?

The whole thing is ridiculous. Whats sadly amusing is the snowjob the administration pulled on the public - lots of americans actually think the war in iraq is part of 'the fight against terror'. Despite not ONE IOTA of evidence linking iraq to 911 !

The biggest ally of the bush administration's foreign policy seems to be low levels of education and awareness of foreign policy issues by much of the public.

 

Why would Bush lock up his business partner and CIA asset?

No Bin Laden = No getting rich

Bin laden is the best thing that ever happened to Bush and his admin, they can use the word "terrorism" to scare all of america's sheep into letting them do anything they want, like breaking constitutional rights....

"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
- G.W. Bush, 3/13/02

"I am truly not that concerned about him."
- G.W. Bush, repsonding to a question about bin Laden's whereabouts,
3/13/02 (The New American, 4/8/02)

 

The biggest farce here is that good ol' boy GWB was re-elected. How does this happen? Can somebody please this. I watched all of the debates and Bush looked like a complete buffoon.

When you fill up your car in the morning for a buck a litre send the bill to GWB with a note asking; "why are you in Iraq?"

 

3 Reasons:
1. Religious nuts outnumber common sense
2. Redneck imbred nuts outnumber common sense
3. And lastly... scare tactics

 

LOL... sad.

 

Kerry doesnt deserve to be president. I voted for the guy, but it was an anti-GB vote a hell of a lot more than a pro JK. He let himself be walked all over. There is a time and a place for everything...and attempting to avoid mud-slinging made him look like a pussy. He could have hammered the Pres./V.P. about Vietnam...but he didnt. He is a loser. The country was/is/ will be polarized so there should no longer be any pretenses approaching civility.
Its a sad state of affairs, but whatever.

 

Will just got pwnt by ccole.

 

He didn't say it was a Canadian Group. Two of the three rescued were Canadian.

Members of the same group representing them. In fact, a Canadian, Doug Pritchard - The CPT Coordinator for Canada, made the statements.

By all means, that is far more important than the story itself.

Source please?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060323/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq_hostages_freed

"Our boys" = those that are not on the side of terrorists. Troops, coalition, those that fight terrorism rather than make light of their actions. That's what I took from it.

But the trivial things have far more significant value.

 

ccole just got pwnt by GTech!

I pwnt all of you!

 

Just a few Seems to me people just like to read between the lines.

 

Actually, GTech, the "honour" of reporting inaccuracies now belongs to you AND Will.
"Canadians immediately blame America" taken from Will's title. He spoke of "Canadians". "Canadian" is a single Canadian. "Canadians" refers to a group of 2 or more Canadians.
Will made no mention of a British hostage. He mentioned 3 Canadians and an American who had been killed, which leaves 3 remaining rescued hostages (all Canadian, according to Will) in that group. Will also made no mention of the British soldiers who assisted the rescue.

He was making those statements as a member of the CPT. If his American counterparts make the same speech, they make it as a member of the CPT. You can attempt to turn this into a "Canadian thing" if you like, GTech. I'm not buying any of it.

Are you attempting to convince everyone that YOUR interpretation of WILL'S inaccurate statements means that he "meant" to report that one of the "three" Canadian hostages was British? And that he also "meant" to report on the involvement of British forces in the rescue, aided by American forces and, (I hope you're sitting down for this, GTech) Canadian forces? Is that what you're attempting to do here? It was a little more than unclear to me exactly what you were trying to accomplish with your statements on this.

Will's "report" was significantly slanted and seriously inaccurate with respect to the events that took place. I think a report filled with misleading information is anything but "trivial".

 

Bush managed to achieve this in his first term:
1. High growth rate
2. Reducing the crime
3. Fighting terrorism by striking back at the talibans
4. Removing a dictator in Middle East
