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."
No complaints from me
"TurnaBout"IS Fair Play!!If these Islamo A**holes think so much of this barbaric practice,perhaps we should get into the game??
Yes, how dare you brutes! These nice terrorists should be put up in the Kandahar Hilton pronto!! Room service and massages for all..
However I'm all for doing what the Rooskies did in 'east' Germany after WW II to the captured Werewolves1 - 10 for 1.
And the FRENCH (of all people) also did mass retaliations in their zone of occupation. We however just lined them up and summarily shot them.
1; Not every Nazi 'surrendered' in 1945, similar to Iraq now. The Werewolves were nazis who continued 'fighting' until 1948 (IIRC). (the History Channel ran a program a couple months ago on them)
The Afghani mujahdeen warriors who fought under Massoud against the Russians hate these Taliban and al quaeda because Pakistani forces supported Taliban govt against Massoud in the North.
Some of them, 300, I think, fought in the first Iraqi Desert Storm but from Saudi Arabia bases as lead scouts and infiltrators.
There should be an Afghani division in Iraq with against these terrorists. Some are already US citizens here and wouldn't hestitate one second to defend US soldiers there in Iraq.
That might be a good idea, in that part of the world, that might be a fate worse than death!!
It's about time. You will know the gloves are off when we (the U.S.) start doing this to terrorists.
I wonder if the new Afghani Army has about 1,000 soldiers with sharp knives to loan to the new Iraqi Government?

Two heads are better than one.
I have a better suggestion.An English friend of mine wondered why The Brits were not employing the services of their Allies,"The Gurkhas"!As he observed,"They Don't Take Any Nonsense"!!!(They DO Take Ears,etc.,etc.,etc.,)!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am in favor of vastly increasing the number of "officers'" swords and issuing them to our own GIs. It was not all that long ago, in the grand scheme of things, that swords were standard issue. I think these Afghan troops made a strong "point" (no pun intended). We must do the same in Iraq vis a vis insurgents, IMHO.
I LIKE that math!!!!They do two,WE do FOUR!!!How's about we make it TEN for every one!!!!!!!
good.
In the words of General Douglas A.MacArthur:"There Is No Substitute For Victory"!!!!!!!!!!!
I like these people.
Zabul province is near Kandahar, in the South East, in the 1/6 Marines AO.
HEAD WARS!
In the words of our French"Allies?":"Certaine Moi"!!!!!!!!!
I call 'em effective and pragmatic realists.
If they work with us, and kill those who work against us, I call 'em allies worth having.
