Iraqis Drag Bodies Through Streets After Attack

A crowd of cheering Iraqis dragged charred and mutilated bodies through the streets of the town of Falluja Wednesday after an ambush on two vehicles that witnesses said killed at least three foreigners.

The Falluja violence began when two four-wheel-drive vehicles were attacked by guerrillas on a main road in the town, 32 miles west of Baghdad. A crowd then set the vehicles ablaze and hurled stones into the burning wreckage.

Television pictures showed one incinerated body being kicked and stamped on by a member of the jubilant crowd, while others dragged a blackened body down the road by its feet.

As one body lay burning on the ground, an Iraqi came and doused it with petrol, sending flames soaring. At least two bodies were tied to cars and pulled through the streets, witnesses said.

"This is the fate of all Americans who come to Falluja," said Mohammad Nafik, one of the crowd surrounding the bodies.

Some body parts were pulled off and left hanging from a pole, while two incinerated bodies were later strung from a bridge over the road and left dangling there.

It was unclear who was traveling in the vehicles, both four-wheel drives of the type used by foreign contractors, journalists, civilian members of the U.S.-led coalition and some military personnel. Witnesses said they saw anywhere between four and eight people in the cars before they were attacked.

As the victims lay burning, a crowd of around 150 men chanted "Long live Islam" and "Allahu Akbar" ("God is Greatest") while flashing victory signs.

Falluja has been one of the most violent, restive towns in Iraq since the U.S.-led occupation began. There are almost daily attacks on U.S. military convoys in the area.

[Note: Don't let it escape your attention that the Leftist media (AFP and Al-Reuters) was *right there* to take the pictures of these atrocities.
How convenient.
I certainly won't post them here. Check Drudge if you have the stomach for it.]

It is so hard to speak about the unspeakably awful.
This is the face of pure Evil and one that we're now only too familiar with from our "relationship" with the death cult that calls itself the Religion of Peace™.
We are supposed to be outraged and repulsed...and afraid.
Well, I'm revolted and I'm pretty damn mad, but I'm not afraid and I pray that the Marines who've just taken charge in Fallujah aren't either!
I don't know what's more obscene--the sight of the defiled and mutilated bodies of the poor dead civilians or that of little children cheering murder and mayhem and regarding mutilation of human bodies as "play."
Looks like the Civilized World still has a lot of missionary work to do (and by missionary, I don't just mean the spread of God's Word).
But before we do that, the Coalition forces in Fallujah may need to get medieval on the a$ses of these killers and let them know exactly who the "strong horse" in Iraq is.
U.S. forces under President Bush as Commander-in-Chief aren't going to "cut and run" the way Bill Crinton made our soldiers do in Somalia!
[Remember: even though 18 of our men were killed in the ambush in Mogadishu-- which was planned by Osama Bin Laden, who also provided the arms to the Somalis--they held their own bravely for over a day and killed 1,000 of their attackers. It was Bubba who cut and run from the attack, not our guys!]
It wouldn't surprise me if OBL or his lieutenant Zarqawi was behind this little massacre and I'm virtually certain it was a jihadi Islamofascist!

May God rest the souls of those who were killed in Iraq today (including 5 of our military) and may He give us the strength and courage to finish our mission in Iraq and carry us forward to complete Victory over our IslamoNazi enemies.
I personally cannot stand to see the earth subdued by these death-worshipping murderers.
We must and will prevail.

Update: At least one of the foreign contractors killed and whose body was mutilated was a woman and at least one was an American.
