Taliban Claims Responsibility for Murdering Marines for Insult to Prophet Muhammad
From the North County Times:
Two Marines assigned to a unit headquartered at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station unit, but based in Yuma, Ariz., have been identified as victims of an insurgent attack on the primary Marine Corps base in Afghanistan, military officials said Monday.
The Pentagon said in a terse statement that Lt. Col. Christopher K. Raible, 40, of Huntingdon, Pa., and Sgt. Bradley W. Atwell, 27, of Kokomo, Ind., died in the Friday attack.
. . . .
[Raible] and Atwell died when Camp Bastion in the Helmand province came under attack by insurgents.
Officials said the attacking insurgents wore U.S. Army uniforms when they assaulted the base, killing the two Marines, wounding nine other people and destroying six Harrier fighter jets.
Fourteen insurgents were killed. The Taliban claimed responsibility for that attack and said it was revenge for the video insulting Prophet Muhammad, according to an Associated Press report.
The voluntary interview didn’t pacify them, boys. Time to arrest the guy.
no fairs we said sorry

Great idea!

Maybe the Nobel Peace Prize recipient needs to tell his story about living in a Muslim country again and all will be good.
cardionp (e65e5d) — 9/17/2012 @ 10:50 pmA welcome change in plans. Apparently they’ve decided to protect our troops a little better in the waning days.

Bozo the Clown President officially worse than Jimmy Carter presidency.

Plus a quick guilty verdict pronounced by Obama followed by a beheading. None of this long drawn out appeal BS that diminishes any death penalty deterrent value.
Establishment of Sharia courts in every state might also be viewed as a positive move by the forces of intolerance if we’re in a mood of appeasement.

AZ Bob (1c9631) — 9/18/2012 @ 7:15 amMaybe Sandra Flake could arrange to give them a little to see if that would pacify them.
BarSinister (664312) — 9/18/2012 @ 7:37 amThis is absurd. This was a well-organized, deeply-planned attack that could never have been done on the spur of the moment.
The question isn’t IF they are lying about it. It’s WHY are the Taliban lying about it?
Kevin M (bf8ad7) — 9/18/2012 @ 8:47 amWell well well. Drudge, Fox and Daily Mail UK all report that the leader of the Benghazi terror attack was an ex-Guantanamo prisoner released to Libya. No wonder the squirrels have been out and about.

elissa (f9a102) — 9/19/2012 @ 4:48 pmI blame Bush. Expect that.
I have read at 3 places that this may be a different guy, same name?
JD (dbb735) — 9/19/2012 @ 5:10 pmI was getting to that, I linked the LWJ about that very fellow, a week ago.

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 9/19/2012 @ 5:19 pmBUT what about Romney’s GAAAAFFES!!!!!!!!!
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 9/19/2012 @ 5:21 pmMaybe. Well you know those names all sound alike and they all wear beards. 🙂 According to a report the Gitmo guy was supposedly released to Quadaffi with the promise he be kept in prison. Shouldn’t be too hard to find out if Quadaffi kept his word (LOL) and if he’s still in a Libyan prison. The reason I’m giving this story at least some credence is that the WH has changed its tune quite a bit in the last 2 days about the attack being a spontaneous reaction to the video.
elissa (f9a102) — 9/19/2012 @ 5:21 pmYes, Moammar wasn’t that sharp at the ned, maybe he was listening to his Bruno like son, Seif

narciso (ee31f1) — 9/19/2012 @ 5:40 pmAndy McCarthy said on Hewitt that Holder and Obama have been looking for an excuse to release the Blind Sheik to Egypt.
If nothing else as a parting gift.
Can you impeach a lame duck president, or just wait to arrest him after he leaves office?
