Jubilant crowds dragged the burnt and mutilated bodies of four Americans through the streets of Fallujah yesterday amid some of the most horrific scenes witnessed since the invasion of Iraq.
The four were driving along the main road when they were caught in a vicious crossfire from Iraqis wearing headscarves. The spot is a favourite site for attacks in the pro-Saddam Hussein town.
Yesterday, the corpses were dismembered before parts were hung from a green iron bridge over the Euphrates river, witnesses said. Other remains were hung from an electricity pole. People chanted: "We sacrifice our blood and souls for Islam."
One resident, Abdul Aziz Mohammed, said: "The people of Fallujah hanged some of the bodies on the old bridge like slaughtered sheep."
Beneath the bodies, a man held a printed sign with a skull and crossbones and the phrase: "Fallujah is the cemetery for Americans."
"I saw the people pull one of the dead bodies out of the car and pour [fuel oil] over it. Then they set the body ablaze," said Omar Khalil, an off-duty Iraqi police officer. "The people were praising God for their good fortune in killing Americans." The body was then dragged down the road by the feet.
Neither American soldiers nor Iraqi police were seen in the area after the attack, although an American aircraft flew low over the scene, scattering the crowd.
Hours after the attack hundreds still danced around the burning wreck of a Mitsubishi Pajero and Toyota Landcruiser chanting: "Death, death to the Americans." Some were said to be preparing an ambush for American forces if they returned to recover the corpses.

This should have been answered with a fuel air bomb. Time for scorched earth in Fallujah and Tikrit.

They were Saddam's wise guys and want back the power they had. Against revengeful Kurds and Shi'ites, they would be destroyed.

"We should keep some some AC-130's lumbering around such towns."
No. I dissagree. This calls for a close and personal action with all the press removed.
Circle the town, remove the willing and able, and pave the rest in to a parkinglot.

I agree with you. When the bas*ards are gathered together as a group praising the vile atrocities, I think they are fair game as a group. Same thing with Hamas.

It's time to send a message. Not just to those who did this...but to those who would ever ever think of doing it.

The only thing they will understand is overwelming power.

I'm sure some Japanese survivors of Marine assults will attest to that.

I pray that I am wrong. But, I do not think that the administration is going to do anything to these people. To retaliate may spark more "moral outrage" from Kofi Annan, the rest of the Useless Nations, the Pope. You get the idea
At the very least, this video should be used as a tool for identification and these bastards should be rounded up and sent to Gitmo awaiting war crimes tribunal.
If it were up to me, I'd find them and then I'd kill them!

,,, why go to that expense when it's cheaper to poison their water
'cause we already have the nukes - sitting in bunkers and slowly decaying. We have the a/c to deliver them - all we really need is the will to do it.

Damned animals...you can say what you want about people on here celebrating Courie's death....but I promise no one on here would do anything like this to a dead person....even if it where Osama...
This is beyond contempt.
