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."

ALRIGHT!

Do you think we could get the Afgan army to teach this to John Hanoi Kerry?

Ashworth?

[Brad’s Gramma]

That last sentence. So matter of fact.

Good on them!!!!

Looks like he'll never be the head of a major corporation.

Turnabout's fair play.

It's way past time to teach these animals some fear.

Well done!

There's a widow in sleepy Chester
Who weeps for her only son;
There's a grave on the Pabeng River,
A grave that the Burmans shun;
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri
Who tells how the work was done.

Yes I know, wrong country. But still I believe the Afghans would understand perfectly.

I should be revulsed.

I'm not.

Let them know-You GIVE head,you GET head!
Oops,sorry!

The "twofer" policy is a nice touch, but it would be great if they picked up the American concept of treble damages and made it three-for-one in the future.

Good!

They EARNED it.

May the dead Taliaban forever be in eternal torment.

[cgk]

Ping.

[kattracks]

I wonder if the Taliban will behead any more captured Afghans.

[Dales]

Ashworth?

Oops,sorry!

[VRWC_minion]

Maybe we should subcontract.

[Badeye]

My kind of "proportional response".

[prognostigaator]

When the Taliban or the terrorists in Iraq are captured , instead of cutting off their heads [as was just announced by Reuters , above, ]
I say castrate and release .

[kattracks]

Neither am I.

Isn't it ironic...
