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."

"...Finally, an eye for an eye!..."

Finally, a head for a head. I'll bet those talis were head cases for sure.

Heads up!

Welcome to the "New World Order." Signs of the times...

Works for me.

Hopefully the Northern Alliance had some bacon nearby for the burial.

err... the northern alliance are muslims too.

I wonder what the talking heads will have to say about these non-talking heads tonight.

[SquirrelKing]

This is all Bush's, Cheney's and Ashworth's fault.

So all this time we could've been blaming this "Ashworth" guy?

[Cronos]

Doesn't it go: "he takes out a knife, you take out a gun. he puts one of your guys in hospital, you put one of his in the morgue"?

Exedrin headache number 405.

The Brits were not employing the services of their Allies,"The Gurkhas"!

The Gurkhas are NOT British allies, they are mercenaries working for the British (and Indian) armies.

While I would not object to that punishment had the towelheads been given a fair trial

And the two "towelheads" were beheaded by othe "towelheads". And while you're at it calling names, I suppose you'd call the GReeks, the Turks, the Indians, every nationality who may wear turbans as "towelheads"? And you'd also call Sikhs who live in the US, "towelheads"?

"Daniel Dravot: Billy Fish, do they always use such a big ball?
Billy Fish: Depend on size of man's head. Big head, big ball, small head, small ball. That Bashki man. Oh big damn head."

[Robert DeLong]

Wouldn't that be eight eyes for two eyes? ;^)

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Yes, I have thought this through. The Geneva Conventions allow any signatory to them to suspend them if their opponent refuses to honor them. That is exactly what we should do -- play by their "rules". I would talke about six to eight weeks to smoke these towelheads.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

For Cronos: Go wash your towels. Or do you prefer to be called a raghead?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

For Cronos: Go wash your towels or are they sheets? Or do you prefer to be called a sheethead?

[Cronos]

For Mike: Don't you wash your towels? And I ain't Arab.

However, silly comments like yours insult our anti-Isllamic allies who wear turbans. We're in a war with a cult not an ethnicity

[BigSkyFreeper]

Who's Ashworth?

Some Heads are going to roll!
