I agree. I am sick to death from this story and the one about the slitting of the soldiers' throats.

There are times--and this is one of them--when I'm tempted to suggest we nuke the whole country until there's nothing left, and let them start over from scratch. I know this is just my reaction to the sometimes disgusting behavior of the people we're trying to help, and when I'm thinking more clearly, perhaps I'll have more rational suggestions.

But for now, it's hard to be rational as I imagine the torture these men experienced at the hands of the people they were trying to help. Prayers for the soldiers and their families. Something else for the ones who did this.

Everyone needs to brace themselves for the video of this....count on it turning up.

Drudge has a photo of one body.

This will not have the affect the bad guys think it will have on the American public.....this will piss us off.

The perpetrators should be found, publically tried by a military tribunal and also very publically executed. Too hell with the niceties this is war and we should fight it to win.

Iraqi teenagers dragged the bloody bodies of two American soldiers from a wrecked vehicle and pummeled them with concrete blocks Sunday, witnesses said, describing a burst of savagery in a city once safe for Americans. Another soldier was killed by a bomb and a U.S.-allied police chief was assassinated.

And when I suggest that we should withdraw inside our own borders, seriously protect those borders and just concentrate on making America safe for Americans and Americanism they call me a goofy crank.

A51......this wasn't teenagers who did this ...this sounds like a Iraqi special forces operation.

This act is designed to demoralize our troops.

You are not a goofy crank. Sometimes I feel this way but Bush cannot give up - that's just what the Democreeps and the terrorists want.

Why wasn't there another vehicle on this patrol? Why did no one know that these soldiers were missing until the young Iraqi went to inform other American soldiers? It may be that these guys were in the wrong because they violated force protection rules and were somewhere they weren't supposed to be.

Graphic pictures, but they should STRENGTHEN OUR RESOLVE.
