Yup...a Basque group. ETA stands for Euskadi ta Askatasuna , which means �Basque Fatherland and Liberty�. Typical cowardly terrorist wackos. The ETA isn't officially linked to Al Qaeda...but wouldn't be surprised if it attracts some of the same characters...it seems that most people involved in these things are more interested in killing people than actually serving their "cause".

Alligators sound good...tho there has to be SOMETHING more grisly and humiliating that could be done to them...maybe death by chipmunk...beheading with pLastic spoons...dunno...

These attacks don't fit ETA's usual MO - they aren't known for multiple simulataneous attacks on civilians. Besides, Basques aren't Muslim, so Al Qaeda probably wouldn't cooperate with them. My guess is this was done by an Islamofascist splinter group with the same agenda as Al Qaeda (kill anybody who isn't Muslim, and especially those who want to stop you from killing non-Muslims).

I'm willing to forgo humiliation for speed and efficiency. A JDAM bomb delivered to the top of the skull works in my book.

I was shocked when I saw USA Today cover shot. My God I hope that someday some can be brought to justice over that.

You know this terrorism has gone far enough. If those GD fanatical low life nuts who commite horrific acts of violence in the name of God and religion want a GD holly war, then lets give them one. I want to say kill them all and let their God sort them out, but that would be horrifically wrong of me so what I will say is give them a war, any one who picks up a weapon, commits an act of violence, should be considered hostile and appropriate measures should be taken.

Enough is enough.

Unfortunately, these fanatical Groups won't be satisified until every trace of whatever they don't like of the West is eradicated. So I'm with you, Atrocities. I say we eridicate them first. Forget about catching Bin Laden, just do a Clinton and send shiploads of cruise missiles in that no-man's land in Pakistan. And if the Pakistani goverment objects, tell them tough. And let's do the same for whereever else we suspect these terrorists are hiding out. Let's show these scum we're not pussyfooting around. And if by some small chance Kerry is elected president, I think Bush should just empty our bunkers and smash these suspected sites again and again until he's out of office. Then let Kerry worry about what to do with these terrorists, if any survive.

Greg
Get in touch with reality. Random acts of violence does not stop terrorism. It IS terrorism, and it BREEDS new terrorists. Fighting terrorist must be done with intelligence and well targeted actions, not with excess violence.
Whoever succeeds GWB (now or in 4 more years) already has plenty to worry about. The Iraq situation is not getting much better and Iraq may well become the next Afganisthan; a breeding ground for terrorists.

Greg, for all I know, there might be some muslim fanatics hiding in Rushholme, 1 mile from my home. Do you really want to bomb Manchester ?

Well, if you give us their address, we'll just bomb that particular house. We've gotten kinda good at that the Last couple of years...

BTW, Primitive, you're right, random violence won't stop this thing - but mere police work and crossed fingers won't either. The folks who perpetrate these atrocities - and the governments who sponsor them (Iraq being a case in point) - need to be "wacked". You can't bargain with or negotiate with an Islamofascist - your only option is to kill or defeat him.

General W,
You must be privy to information not shared by the the rest of the world. While Saddam was a murderer and all around bad guy there are absolutely no proof of he sponsoring any international "Islamofascist" terrorists. On the contrary, Saddam beeing a secular old fashioned dictator on a power trip, he himself was high on their target list .

The "whacking" of Iraq is probably the biggest boost ever to international terrorism, with the new destabilized Iraq providing plenty of recruits and ample training oportunities on live targets. And with more than enough funding available from among others our dear allied "friends" the Saudis, all the pieces for creating new hardcore Groups are available: Targets, Motivated Manpower pool (there are about 5 Million Iraqi who has been toppled from the top to the bottom of Iraqui society, many loosing friends and relatives in the process), Training and Money. Future for fighting terrorism looks bleak indeed thanks to GWB.

I find offensive your smirking about 10,000 to 13,000 murdered Iraqi civilians Last year.
