KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, June 22 (Reuters) - Afghan soldiers beheaded four Taliban fighters after guerrillas cut off the heads of an Afghan interpreter for U.S.-led forces and an Afghan soldier, a government commander said on Tuesday.The interpreter and the soldier were beheaded after becoming separated from a patrol of Afghan and U.S.-led foreign troops in the Arghandab district of Zabul province on Monday night, Namatullah Tokhi, commander of the government's 27th division in the province, told Reuters.
He said government troops later captured and killed four Taliban guerrillas in the same way. "They cut of their heads with a knife, so when our forces arrested four Taliban, we cut off their heads too."
Payback is a $itch.
There is such a thing, in this real and red-clawed mean old world, as being too civilized for your own good.
If it were up to me, I'd have the Mall of Washington DC become a field of pikes, upon which the heads of our Islamicist enemies would be mounted, one by one, as they became available.
Barbs cannot speak politesse.
Those who are civilized would do well to add "barb" to their more polished lists af linguistic skills.
...and that's the Chicago way.
I'm willing to act as a market maker for shrunken heads and muslim scalps.
: )
Unfortunately, the new government is just about as "fundamentalist" as the Taliban.
Yes you are correct. This is terrible and we shouldn't condone this sort of thing .....
Bwaaaaahaha!! JUST KIDDING
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
Ashworth?
Eye for an eye, beheading for a beheading. Not exactly the ideal we strive for, but at least we're heading toward a good end.
(ha ha)
Man...this takes the phrase "heads will roll" to a new extreme.
Sort of gives a whole new meaning to the old saying, "You can't tell the players without a scorecard."
How European. Are you from the Saar?
"Isn't Ashworth Attorney General Ashcroft's second cousin, twice removed?"
No. That would be Ashley Longcraft.
They should keep the heads and play soccer with them for Al Jezeera's viewing audience!
A head for a head justice.

It will be interesting to see how the Iraqi forces handle the foreign Al Qaeda terrorists once we hand over power.
I hope our administration is taking notes! TAKE NO PRISONERS!!
Sure. It was usually said by some low life who had just gotten caught and was about to get his butt kicked. It is often also mouthed by apologists for lowlifes.
Don't want to call barbarians that cut off their enemies heads allies.
So you no longer support the Taliban? Better late then never I Suppose.
The concept that the enemy of my enemy is my friend is what got us into the problem in Afghanistan in the first place.
Incorrect. The guys that were our friends then (The Northern Alliance) are our friends still. The guys that were our enemies then (The Russians) are... well maybe not friends but they are no longer actively our enemies.
There be a lot of vintage 1980s American weapons out there.
Be there? Hmmm Maybe I should take a trip over there and buy some for my collection.
