FNC | Bill O'Riley / Brett Beher / FNC

Bill O’Riley and Brett Beher (sp) of FNC both all but 100% confirmed that at least some of the 11 bodies that were brought back from Iraqi hospital were U.S. POWs. It appears that at least some were executed. Beher at DOD did not want to go too deep into story, as “notifications” were not yet complete.

SEAL and Ranger teams found two of the eleven bodies in the morgue of the hospital where PFC Lynch was found. An employee of the hospital led them to a shallow grave were another 9 bodies were found. All were returned by helicopter to U.S. control. It is assumed these bodies are from the 507th Maintenance Company at Ft. Bliss, but there is no confirmation. Due to the conditions of the bodies, advanced forensics work is required to determine the identity and exact cause of death

There is also no confirmation of whether or not these bodies might be some of the U.S. POWs that Iraqi television featured in an interview.

Although DOD will not officially confirm anything, there is talk about making some announcement once “notifications” are complete. If not U.S. soldiers or Marines, why would notifications be necessary?

If it is proven that these were U.S. soldiers and were executed, there will be lots of “issues” to be resolved.

I prefer Inuigo Montoya's treatment of the six-fingered man myself.

Find them and hang them.

Hanging to good for them...

My I suggest a curling iron inserted in their rectum and then plugging in....slow cooked them from the inside out

[pbear8]

Cut out their tounges, cut off their noses, gouge out their eyes..... but leave their ears undamaged, so they can hear the screams of terror from the children as they come into view.

As you will.

I was waiting for someone to remember.

A GREAT movie!

"Good news. Your friend is dead, but he's not dead-dead!"

later

(referring to Andre the Giant)

"Is he on the Evil Prince's Brute Squad?"

"On it? He is the Brute Squad!"

Always wanted the screen name "D.P. Roberts."

I guess I go for simplistic solutions too often.

I believe the full quote is:

Wesley: No! To the pain. And I'll explain. I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you wart-hog faced buffoon. To the pain means the first thing you lose will be your feet below the ankles, then your hands at the wrists, next your nose. I'm not finished. The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right. Your ears you keep! I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child who sees your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God, what is that thing?" will echo in your perfect ears. That is what "to the pain" means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever. It's possible, pig, I might be bluffing. It's conceivable, you miserable vomitous mass, that I'm only lying here because I lack the strength to stand. Then again, perhaps I have the strength after all. (struggles to get up) DROP YOUR SWORD!

Very appropriate in this instance!

Ms. Lynch

That's PFC Lynch to you. And don't you forget it, or she'll beat you to a pulp with her crutches, as soon as she gets some. Heaven help you if she gets her hands on a rifle. :) Just kidding, I'm sure she's a sweet young lady, just not one you want to get crosswise with.

In RVN, we once found a captured GI from another unit. His helmet was gone and his head was nailed to a tree. There was excessive bleeding from the nail holes, indicating he was alive when it was done.

The other unit returned and "pacified" the area. It was the quietest, safest area in III Corps for years.

I want firing squads and I want them now.

Hanging is a better example to "encourage the others".

I like having the embedded reporters but it's sad that these families will hear about this from the media before they know for sure it was there spouse, child, or parent and have to sit in agony waiting for that call to confirm it. I can't imagine how depressing it must be for them to just sit and wait while the news talks about it almost 24/7.

[Textide]

A GREAT movie! I agree.

"Hello, my name is George Bush, you tried to kill my father. Prepare to die. [bunker-buster goes off] Hello, my name is....". hehe

The first casualty of war is truth.

That may be, but the examples you cite are not supportive of that thesis so much as examples of the "Fog of War".

[MindBender26]

Two thoughts:

#1. It was close enough for government work. :~)
#2. You have an incredible memory..... or the tape in your house!


Be well.

"No: Find them, cut off their legs at the ankle, their hands at the wrist. Cut out their tounges, cut off their noses, gouge out their eyes..... but leave their ears undamaged, so they can hear the screams of terror from the children as they come into view. "

That would make us no better than them.

With all the atrocities that Sadaam's regime has committed during the course of this war I don't think it will matter one bit if we DON'T find WMD. Excluding of course France, Russia, Germany and Liberals.

Not to beat a dead horse, but...

Isn't Saddam using the Dread Pirate Roberts method of rule? Maybe the real Saddam retired 15 years ago and is living like a king.

The first casualty of war is truth.

Careful. I got many many people mad at me when I suggested that all the wounds on the soldiers shown in the Al-Jaazera video could have been combat injuries. No one was willing to admit that head shots can and do happen in combat.

Even had a few people telling me to 'go back to DU' because I dare question their execution theory.

Sometimes better is not what is needed. Sometimes we need a walking billboard that says "Don't F with the Yanquis!"
