U.S. Marine Murdered ?

July 3rd, 2004

Via Reuters:

DUBAI (Reuters) – A militant group said on Saturday it had beheaded U.S. Marine Corporal Wassef Ali Hassoun, the second reported killing of a kidnapped American soldier in Iraq this week.

“We beheaded the marine of Lebanese origin Hassoun and you will see the film with your own eyes soon,” the Army of Ansar al-Sunna said in a statement carried on at least two Internet sites. The group said it was holding another “infidel” hostage.

It was not immediately possible to verify the authenticity of the Arabic-language statement, which was addressed to President Bush and advised him to withdraw his troops from Iraq.

Arabic television Al Jazeera last Sunday aired a video tape of militants holding a blindfolded 24-year-old Hassoun with a sword poised over his head. They demanded the release of prisoners in Iraq.

“We will soon issue a new tape showing a new infidel hostage,” Ansar al-Sunna said in its statement, without giving the nationality of the hostage.

First and foremost, they’re not “militants”. They’re murderers and perverse monsters. Secondly, if Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun is confirmed dead, not even Allah himself can save those pussies from the wrath of the U.S. Marine Corps, as an attack on a Marine is deemed as an attack on the entire Corps.

And woe unto our goverment if anybody even thinks of uttering the word “restraint”.

    Thank you. I’m glad I’m not the only one who is getting irritable about that ‘militant’ business.

    I wouldn’t even call them murderers. Murder is a crime, they’re not criminals.

    Questions raised with the beheading of this…
    Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun has been beheaded and I have questions about this… Does the fact that Hassoun was a Marine raise questions about his loyalty to Islam? And does this mean he’s considered an infidel deserving of such fate
