Gee they fight dirty like, well, you know. V's wife.

[Bogey78O]

The soldiers who were dressed as civilians have committed a war crime.

They signed their death warrants.

[NewLand]

"...there were troops dressed in civilian clothes that appeared to welcome the forces and then ambush them"

We can solve that problem...shoot first! Accept surrenders later.

[AntiGuv]

Perhaps they were civilians to begin with? Most guerrillas are. Just a thought..

[Jeff Chandler]

They are trying to provoke us into doing something stupid, like shooting surrendering Iraqis. That would stop others from surrendering, and possibly create a backlash among the civilian population against the coalition forces.

[FreeperinRATcage]

FNC made a brief mention that 12 US troops captured by Iraqis faking surrendu...wonder if its the same ones that had there pictures splashed on Rag-head TV

[Mr. Mojo]

If true, this is bad news for the Iraqis. Very bad.

[DeepInEnemyTerritory]

Guess this means there will be FEWER prisoners. Good. We can use the IDF to help us protect the innocent Iraqis.

[WarSlut]

I can't even begin describe how clueless people sound when the attempt to apply to rules of the Geneva Convention to these disciples of Satan. These are not soldiers, they're demons.

If you've allowed yourself to be surprised by them since September 11th, shame on you. Pay attention harder next time.

It's a bad deal for the folks who really want to surrender, but that's too bad. They've had ample opportunity to drop their arms and run like hell. They've haven't, so they need to taken out with extreme prejeudice.

No quarter. Kill every one of these bastards.

[Odyssey-x]

They did this in all the same stuff in the Korean war, Classic commie text-book stuff.

[angkor]

He said that in one incident an apparent surrender was followed by artillery fire.

This is prohibited under Article 28 of the Geneva Convention.

[johnfl61]

When we catch the bums- KILL THEM!!

[weegee]

More Geneva Convention violations.

War Crimes BUMP

[Cboldt]

Iraqi troops used "ruses" to kill U.S. troops

The word "try" is conspicuously absent

[Widows Son]

Just a question;
Aren't spies supposed to be executed? If they were dressed in civilian clothes then they could, at least in theory, be classed as spies and shot. Unfortunately, this country has come to expect some kind of sterile war where the only side getting their noses bloodied is the other one. I guess the proclivity of ignoring reality is a holdover from the past presidents reign. We need to understand that war is a dirty, brutal, and nasty business. And we are going to suffer losses. As Robert E. Lee said, "It is well that war is so terrible, lest we grow to like it too much".
All my support and Gods Speed to our troops. And may heaven welcome all who fall in the cause.
As far as those #&@%$^*@'s that we are fighting, may you reside in the darkest place in hell inhabited by only pigs, camels, and sheep.

[Salvation]

Guerilla warfare.
