Two wrongs don't make a right????? Revenge is an essential human activity that teaches others how to behave properly.

Saddam could be alive, just out of communication.
Ba'athists are NAZI BEASTS.
To: sinkspur
This action proves, to me, that Hussein is dead or incapacitated. He would never do something so visceral that would turn world opinion completely against Iraq. Excellent point. He is (was) a ruthless dictator but you don't stay in power for as long as he has and be stupid enough to execute POW's and then broadcast it to the world.

You must have me mixed up with someone else. Where did you get 'sovereign nation'?

He did it before! Hussein never executed POWs. He roughed them up, but never executed them.
There will be a tremendous emotional response to this, and not just in America.

I haven't seen it, but from the reporting on FOX it sounds like they were already dead but the head wounds were obvious.

I agree about taking out their television stations. Why are we allowing them to continue to show this kind of garbage? We fire a few missles and then hope they all surrender. When they don't we fire a few more and hope again. When we get serious we will win, but not before. Maybe I should say IF we get serious we will win.

They showed two white males (one wounded) and one black female.Now we see the end result of parity and political correctness in the military -- a female prisoner of war. Women should not serve in combat or in close combat support positions. Period!

Chemical Ali ordered Iraqi women and children onto the streets of Nassariyah, in front of his troops.
We are dealing with pure evil.
We're going to have to kill these Ba'athists, and I'm afraid civilians will be hurt in the process.
We're not going to do what the Russians did to Grozny (level it with civilians inside), but innocent people are going to get hurt, unfortunately.
To: sinkspur
This is a strategic blunder by the Iraqis. Now the US forces have a very, very personal rallying cry. There might be a larger-than-originally-planned fireworks display in Baghdad tonight! I Hope so!
To: Beck_isright
Now NBC, Tim Russert's show, is reporting executions of the American POWs.

This was likely a freelancer's action. I don't think Saddam is in any shape to communicate with his troops--both physically and technologically.

Tell that to to Kim Gandy and N.O.W. Hope they're satisfied.
