Just goes to prove how stupid the terrorists are. They made a mistake when they infuriated the So. Koreans, and now they want to take on the Turks? DUMB MOVE!

I thought Muslims didn't hurt Muslims, though?

Maybe that's why the liberals don't mind them,
they're equal opportunity beheaders.

My mother always warned me about "mindless diversity".

They probably already have beheaded them. This is a perfect example of why "He needed killin'" is a valid principle in using US military power.

Nah. They are the religion of Peace.
We must give them rights, money, land, college education, and our heads
according to insurgents Brokaw, Jennings and Rather and their terroristophilic staff.

U.S. launches new bid to capture Zarqawi
Sat 26 June, 2004 17:03

By Lin Noueihed

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S.-led administration in Iraq is mounting a new campaign to get Iraqis to help hunt down alleged al Qaeda operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- with the lure of a $10 million (5.5 million pound) reward.

Administration spokesman Dan Senor said on Saturday posters and announcements in Iraq would publicise the existing price on Zarqawi's head. The Jordanian-born militant has claimed responsibility for several suicide attacks and the beheadings of an American and a South Korean hostage.

"He remains the number one target inside this country. He is a very effective terrorist," Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt, deputy director of operations for the U.S. military in Iraq, told a news conference.

"We need every citizen in this country to understand that they have a role in the hunt for Zarqawi."

U.S. President George W. Bush said on Saturday that Zarqawi "is a problem because he is willing to kill people, innocent people, in order to shake our will and shake our confidence".

"He is willing to use death to stop the advance of freedom. He recruits suiciders, orders suiciders, and has them attack on a regular basis because he wants us to withdraw from Iraq, he wants Prime Minister (Iyad) Allawi to lose his will," Bush said.

Over the past week U.S. forces have launched three strikes at buildings in the rebellious city of Falluja where they say Zarqawi's followers were holed up.

Kimmitt said an attack on Friday may have narrowly missed killing Zarqawi. He said several cars were seen driving away from the area after the building was hit.

"It's the coalition assessment that it could have been Zarqawi and his key leaders," he said. "It may not have been. Only time will tell."

This should be interesting?

I imagine that they are trying to provoke Turkey or see what the Turkish Muslin population does.

I have a feeling this is a real stupid move on their part. I'm sure they will pay a heavy price if their people are beheaded.

I'm sure the NYT will run several weeks of photos of the Turkish government response

They're going to behead the three Turks? I thought Muslims weren't supposed to kill other Muslims? I guess that's why Islam is a religion of pieces.

These idiots don't know when to quit. Methinks they will not like the end result of all the beheadings.
