U.S. Officials Condemn Video of Mutilated Soldiers
American Forces Press Service ^ | Jim Garamone

WASHINGTON, July 11, 2006 – U.S. officials are condemning a terrorist video reported to show the mutilated corpses of American soldiers. The terrorists say the video is of two American soldiers captured near Yusifiyah, Iraq, June 16 and killed sometime later. The soldiers were members of the 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, part of Multinational Division Baghdad.

"Multinational Division Baghdad condemns the release of the video in the strongest of terms," the command said in a news release. "It demonstrates the barbaric and brutal nature of the terrorists and their complete disregard for human life."

The video, uploaded on a terrorist Web site yesterday, shows the mutilated bodies of two men dressed in Army camouflage uniforms. The video shows the terrorists hoisting the severed head of one of the soldiers and makes the other soldier's identity clearly recognizable.

Officials called it ironic that the U.S. Congress and military are debating the nature of Geneva Accord protections as this grisly video is playing.

Terrorists know the value of videos like this, U.S. military officials in Baghdad said. They noted that snipers in Iraq often have videographers taping their murders and that people can buy DVDs of the murders in stores in Iraq and throughout the Middle East.

These videos are little more than "snuff films," officials said. The airing of the video on the Internet only reinforces coalition determination "to catch the perpetrators of this crime and bring them to justice," the release said.

During WWII, the Nazis simply would have hanged 200 of 'em from lamp posts.

During WWII, being the civilized country that we are, we would only have carpet bombed the place into oblivion.

Today...

Democrats are going to demand that if the killers are caught, they better be treated with the geneva conventions.

What are we going to do about it? We have done nothing since the last kidnapped soldier was savagely killed a few days ago, now here we have two more. Did someone remove Bush's teeth?

not a bad idea actually, in this case

we definitely should not be collecting and coddling
terrorist prisoners .

furthermore , we should be killing them in ways that are as repulsive and scary to them as the way they kill our guys
are to us .
Two can play that game and we should start playin

Are there videos of the murders? I had hoped, for their families' sake that they had been killed in the initial battle and their bodies taken.

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith,

--Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998


Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels.
So wound their bodies and incapacitate them
because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

Qur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle,
inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them,
so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”
