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."
This proves that they know their enemy, while not enough Americans do. (Thanks to the media whitewash on enemy attrocities)
This will be Iraq on July 1. They'll start lopping each others heads off, whichever side hacks off all of the other sides heads first wins.
Actually, Pennsylvania.
works for me.
bttt
Looks like the Taleban have been given a heads-up.
I second that emotion, and recommend a dull blade!
We don't.
Why do they call it beheading. I would think it would be deheading. Maybe unheading.

Later.....
Four heads are better than two??
The media bleating on this has started. I heard a piece on WBBM AM780 Chicago that "American-trained" Afghan forces have beheaded 4 taliban "fighters". Obviously this came from reading Drudge, as he was the sole source yesterday. Watch and wait - this will soon erupt on the front pages of the NYT, WP, LAT, and CBS, NBC, and ABC.
Yes Sir...them 'funny little knives' get the message across.
My friend, Harry, said many times, he would not have survived if not for the brave Gurkhas and their funny little knives.
A friend of my son is a former UK SAS officer. He has been saying since we took over last year to send in the Gurkas.
Just do the math.
Sounds as if your manners are beneath mine, Mr. Sheethead.
Let me pose this problem to you which is based upon your apparent belief that all warfare is uncivilized.
The United States is attacked by the Empire of Japan which sinks much of the American fleet at Pearl Harbor. The United States Congress comes to the conclusion that all warfare is uncivilized so rather than declare war on the Empire of Japan, the Congress drafts and passes a joint resolution surrendering unconditionally to the Empire of Japan. The Japanese land 1 million troops on the west coast who do what?
While war is an ugly business, it need not be waged in a barbaric manner. Perhaps you should read the four Geneva Conventions and our current Rules of Engagement for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
I am probably wrong but I can't feel at all bad about this. Alquaida knows America cannot retaliate in kind and they take advantage of that fact. Perhaps if we could they would be more reluctant to cease Americans and others for beheadings.
It is a no talent ugly French Kanuck "songstress" whose minor hit song was "Isn't it Ironic" or something to that effect.
Heads are going to Roll!
That's the spirit!
