"...and as outlined by the GC, will be executed. He'll never do it, but that would be the right thing to do. Our military needs to just execute these terrorists and take no prisoners if the President is going to just give in to the Democrats and world libs who demand things that the GC do not provide or require from signatory nations."

Just as a matter of clarification, I don't think the GC says you have to or may execute illegal combatants.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Statement on Condemnation of Hizballah Kidnapping of Two Israeli Soldiers




Today Hizballah terrorists operating from Lebanon kidnapped two Israeli soldiers and launched rocket attacks against civilian targets in Israel. The United States condemns in the strongest terms this unprovoked act of terrorism, which was timed to exacerbate already high tensions in the region and sow further violence. We also hold Syria and Iran, which have provided long-standing support for Hizballah, responsible for today's violence. We call for the immediate and unconditional release of the Israeli soldiers.

Hizballah's terrorist operations threaten Lebanon's security and are an affront to the sovereignty of the Lebanese Government. Hizballah's actions are not in the interest of the Lebanese people, whose welfare should not be held hostage to the interests of the Syrian and Iranian regimes. We reiterate the international community's insistence that all parties in the region fulfill their obligations under UN Security Council resolutions 1559 and 1680, and cease all support for Hizballah.
