NBC Meet the Press | 3/23/03 | NBC

Jim M. of NBC just reported that Al Jazeera has shown the bodies of executed American soldiers.

IF they are mercenaries we can buy them back.

Actually, Mercenaries are different - they don't receive the same niceties as actual military personel... We won't buy them back, but they WILL wish they had picked a different war to get involved in...

[mathluv]

I will repeat. I don't want unnecessary civilian deaths, but our soldiers are more important!

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

I love that line.

"Wait a minute. This is a multi-million dollar installation. You can't just blow it up!"

Ripley: "They can bill me."

Jim Mic on NBC seems to indicate that Pentagon confirms report that POW video is legit and people were executed.

Asked networks not to show video.

[Amerigomag]

you really knew that, right?

right?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Fox reporting all bodies on the tape they've seen "have been executed; shot in the head."

[TN4Liberty]

I just checked this story at that dummy website. Some of those people are actually justifying this murder (assuming it is true). Incredible. Those people are as evil as any enemy of freedom.

Not all religions and world views are the same. Some beliefs lead their faithful to behave like animals. The German Nazis were certainly violent and evil; you cannot turn on the television during the week without seeing 15 or 20 documentaries detailing this fact.

I have heard it reported that only 1 percent of all American POWs held by the Germans in WWII died while 40% held by Japanese died. The Japanese were apparently more ruthless than the average Nazi.

Regardless of the lie (that "all religions are the same", except for conservative Christianity, which they attack daily) spewed by the liberal media, hollywood and the education monopoly of America, there is a great difference in religions and the behaviors they promote.

Muslims who actually take their book and their religion seriously are violent, murderous and completely intolerant. They are at least as dangerous as the Nazis were.

You will never see any serious effort by the news media to expose and demonize the evil cult of Islam. They are too busy beating the dead horse of mad German who died going on 60 years ago. The liberals are in denial or they are too demented to understand true Islam as the monster it really is.

Fox News saying all 5 executed!

So, of course, the first thing CBS did was show the tape to Rumsfeld and demand a response.

[Shooter 2.5]

The Nazis executed 100 Allied Airmen in a quarry. That fact wasn't supposed to be released but a guard took a picture of it.

They made the airmen carry 100 blocks of stone until they dropped and then an officer killed the ones who dropped out. Not one of the 100 survived.

[GRRRRR]

Major Garret, FOXNEWS, now reporting again, that the dead shown in the video appear to have been SHOT IN THE HEAD. He described the Defense Dept reaction to the video as "visceral"...Major really looks shaken up, as he has seen the video.

He also says, FoxNews will be reviewing their policy about NOT showing the video...

RUMSFELD now LIVE--he hasn't seen the announcement...

GRRRRR

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

We control Al Jazeera? What are you smoking?

[Ajnin]

If those that were captured, were US soldiers, why didn't they fight to the death. Surely they were briefed on what would happen to them if they were ever caught? Were any of their equipment or weapons on display? I have a hard time believing that they would actually capture that many US service personnel at one time.

[Pharmboy]

NBC reporting this maintenance unit took a wrong turn and indeed was captured. The Pentagon seems to be acknowleding this by asking not to air this until the families are notified.

[backhoe]

We need to make their lives HELL.

I agree. I'm fed up with bloodly Iraq, bloody militant Islam, that dark-handed Moon God and his misled followers with their bombast and threatening rhetoric. Enough is enough.

[Beck_isright]

They were executed on the video per Fox News. Shot in the head. No more mercy, no more negotiations. Unconditional surrender or death.

[Chad Fairbanks]

why would you do something that will unleash hell on you though? any thoughts?

When your back is against the wall, any rational thought is nonexistent...

[tomahawk]

Perhaps we should should the video to America.

Let them see what we are dealing with.

Ba'athists = Nazi SS
