Tis Great Sport, Etc, Etc...

Saddamites resort to extortion tactics
"They're recruiting guys to plant the (roadside bombs) or drop them alongside the road."

On Friday, 1st Armored foiled one such kidnap-attack, when an Iraqi man appeared at the gate of a U.S. base complaining that he was being forced to detonate a roadside bomb to secure his son's release.

"They told me they'll kill my son unless I kill some Americans," Hertling quoted the Iraqi man as saying. The man carried an electric garage door opener wired as a remote-control detonator. U.S. troops followed the man's instructions and found a specially wired 120 mm mortar round on a street near the base, he said.

The man then escorted troops to a nearby house where American soldiers arrested three kidnappers and freed the son, the Army said. The three men then led the troops to the bomb maker.
Shakespeare would have a lot of fun at the expense of these guys.

This is a war between Liberty and Despotism, between Civilization and Barbarism.

Somehow, the Democrats keep backing the barbarians and despots.
