that's a good point, they are more like the Nazi SS then regular soldiers. but still, I don't know how we have been classifying the various factions we have encountered over there.

[Pharmboy]

Wonder if the 4th AD was getting close to Saddam? Just a thought...

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I have a feeling we might treat these guys with more" tender loving care" not. They probably will supply good intel as to where their butt-ranger boss is.

[PeyersPatches]

Hoo Ah for our troops!

"We cannot label them enemy combatants. We have to abide by the Geneva convention now."

That's what some are starting to say, but they are NOT official Iraqi MILITARY force -- they were Saddam's enforcers. Their black OUTFITS are NOT Iraqi military uniforms. They are a MILITIA force.

These are the killers of thousands of Iraqis......you see those video of people being tossed off buildings?? It is this group..

[SLB]

I hope they can get alot of infor from those 8 captured

Put all eight in a helicopter and head for about 1500 feet. Pick one at random and shove him out, then pick another and head for the door. See how the religion of peace zealots start to spell their guts.

U.S. soldiers killed 46 Iraqis and captured eight in a series of attempted ambushes on U.S. convoys…

..if they are wearing a uniform,they will be POW's

[Right_in_Virginia]

Their black OUTFITS are NOT Iraqi military uniforms. They are a MILITIA force.

Someone needs to tell the folks on FNC right now...they keep bringing up the POW question.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

why, all of a sudden, are these thugs wearing uniforms of any kind?

Fear of Gitmo? If they are in uniform when captured they are POW's and have rights. If they are not in uniform they have no rights.

I have a feeling we might treat these guys with more" tender loving care" not.

Turn them over to Peshmerga.

Hillary inspired both sides? *g*

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I hope they don't. I am only quoting one of the military guys on FOX. No, as far as I'm concerned, they are a bunch of faggots running around with black scarves on their heads-which I don't think constitute uniforms.

[night reader]

Word is that there are moles in the newly trained police forces. No doubt we have supplied them with comms devices.

Could some of the moles have been identified and deliberately fed disinformation to sucker the bad guys in to a counter-ambush?

[jimbo123]

The Feyadeen have been classifed as "irregulars" by the U.S. are are not subject to any Geneva protections. Uniforms do not give protection to terrorists.

[MEG33]

They are saying on Fox they had on on uniforms,POW instead of enemy combatant status for those captured.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

I hope we get good intel. out of this.

Yes.

[Dog]

MK..... no.

No....No......No!

[mystery-ak]

I know what you are saying, but their pj's=uniform...
