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

Here's an arabic language message board with some screen captures. Does anyone know of an arabic to english online translator?

The thread from muslim.net shows their faces, and then their corpses presumably.

I'd post screenshots but they might be considered by some to be in bad taste.

>>>a tape was played on Al Jazeera TV showing the soldiers being executed.<<<

"showing the soldiers being executed"??...or showing executed soldiers??

There is a big difference - if it was the former, we have some executions of our own to carry out on the Iraqi executioners!

If I see any anti-war protesters tommorrow, they will be teethless with one of this pictures shoved in their mouth. I have to leave now, I'm too mad to see straight. I think the Iraqis should be glad I'm not over there again. I hope my corps will remember these Army grunts and no more mercy. If you're an Iraqi officer, you're toast in my book.

William LaJeunesse on FOX, saying that people seeing this will feel unrestrained anger and if enough people rise up it will help the prisoners.

Just reporting what he said...

[Beck_isright]

And I hope you don't mind. When I come back later this afternoon, I'm going to use that link over and over again. God All Mighty, I'm furious.

[Beck_isright]

Look at it. I demand all patriots look at it.

[Beck_isright]

Post 477, link to screen shots. Everyone should be required to see this. You're bp will go nuclear.

We need to kill the entire Iraqi military leadership for doing this to POWs. No exceptions. And all in the chain of command that perpetrated this war crime.

[Beck_isright]

How is beating the hell out of a peace protester going to help our POW's? It will make me feel better. But I want to go back over there now.

A picture (from muslim.net) is worth a thousand words

Disinformation??? From Al-Jazeera and the Iraqi News Ministry?? Surely you jest!
Check out www.democraticunderground.com for a laugh - lots of people so gullible, they take Iraq's word over ours. (Log on and give them the FACTS and see how long it takes them to block you - I got in 16 posts. Would log in again from another computer, but it's no fun arguing with people so completely ignorant.)

They would most likely be tried by U.S. Military Courts Martial and then summarily ...

[valleygal]

I understand what you're saying. I just can't yet. I sit and cry through the History channel on a regular basis just hearing stories of things that happened last century.

And I saw the 9-11 documentary where you could hear the thuds on the concrete as the people fell.

I may end up looking at them...just not yet. I already feel badly enough.

[George W. Bush]

Look at it. I demand all patriots look at it.

That's why I posted the links. It's like 9/11. Some things you shouldn't be allowed to turn away from. These are our dead and they were murdered in cold blood, not in combat.

I assume our commanders have informed our troops that surrendering to the Iraqis is not an option for them. Now we understand why Saddam offered $14000 for dead U.S. soldiers and $28000 for live U.S. soldiers.

These murders was planned and Saddam promised to pay for this spectacle. We need to put them on trial and execute the entire Iraqi military command for this. Anyone even remotely connected to this must be executed. Right down to the orderlies.

"How do you take it when people are that stupid?"

I haven't quite mastered how best to bite my tongue... My boss made some comments on my rating that people were coming to her and stating I was rude... And she wonders why?

[woodyinscc]

Most of them are the scum of the earth!

They are saying this is a moral equivalency to our treatment of the prisoners in Gitmo!!

[Redleg Duke]

The Iraqis are doing everything they can to get us away from the precision strikes that are destroying their warfighting capability without making them look like victims.

These attrocities, if actually happening, are an attempt in desparation to get us to bomb indiscriminately and cause massive civilian casualties, the very things that the Iraqi leadership needs for world sympathy.

I have no doubt that our President and his crew are smart enough not to fall into that trap. Remember..."Revenge is a dish best served cold!"

[valleygal]

I don't even bother trying to argue with people like this. There eyes are not opened to the truth. Nothing we say will matter.

They are too filled with hatred. I can't even begin to understand them.

[valleygal]

I think he meant world opinion...not beating protesters. :)

CentCom is having a news conference soon per FOX.
