Internet video shows mutilated US soldiers [Blood will Boil!]
AFP ^ | July 10, 2006

THE Iraqi branch of al-Qaeda has put on the internet a video showing the mutilated bodies of two US soldiers kidnapped in June and executed to "avenge" an Iraqi woman raped near Mahmudiyah south of Baghdad.

"Here is a film on the remains of the bodies of the two American soldiers kidnapped near Yussufiyah (south of Baghdad). We are showing it to avenge our sister who was raped by a soldier belonging to the same division as these two soldiers," said a preamble by the Mujahedeen Al-Shura Council, an al-Qaeda dominated alliance of armed Sunni groups in Iraq.

When guerillas learned of the rape, "they repressed their sighs to avoid news of the affair spreading but they swore to avenge their sister", the council said on its usual website.

"Praise God, they captured two soldiers from the same division as this vile crusader. Here are the remains ... to rejoice the hearts of the faithful," the statement said.

The nearly five-minute film shows the horribly mutilated bodies of the two soldiers, who had had their throats cut.

"I won't look, but I do wonder if the media told them this was to avenge the so called "rape" of their sister. I have a feeling they did."

It is obvious to us and anyone with half a brain, but those who get their worldview from the msm, well...Zarqawi put out the order at least 2 years ago for the terrs to capture Americans alive, preferably women, for "slaughter".

The msm is shameless. This will be front page tomorrow.

Their logic really escapes me .. they mutilated and killed two innocent soldiers as retribution for another soldier's supposed killing of a girl.

That's lunacy! I could even understand them going after the guy who they thought did the killing .. but to kill two innocent people .. that's warped thinking to the max.

And .. the liberals want to "negotiate" with these idiots.

Criminal acts merely need be dealt with and controlled. In the case of this incident, a capital punishment, IMHO is appropriate if found so in a court of law by legitimate authority.

In regards to meting out an excruciating pain upon the criminal, I disagree emphatically. Carrying out vengeance in a courtroom is just as criminally miserable as the initial criminal act, although a man-made law might not hold the avenger accountable.

There are very real solutions by placing one's faith in God through faith in Christ. In the case of murder and rape, capital punishment is well justified. Encouraging pain of the criminal probably will not turn his thinking from evil and towards faith, but is likely to merely induce bodily reaction and worthless emotion that is simply good for nothingness.

It is additionally parlayed into evil by the Adversary. If the intent to cause pain is granted, that legitimate authority has now created the same mindset/thinking/object of faith used by the criminals. Namely, they have chosen to focus on performing what is righteous in their own eyes, and living by the law without grace, rather than thinking through faith in Christ.

Indeed. When I saw that L.A. Times article last week, where they claimed that a "military source" was seeking a possible link between the original rape/murder and the 2 soldier's mutilations, I knew the savages had their little "prize." I was furious at the article and predicted this very thing would happen. Those iraqis are predictable as hell.

But the strange thing is, some of this might also have been brought to light by what the MSM printed when the story of the rape/murder first came to light. As you may recall, the MSM version was that one of the soldier's that confessed to his role in the rape/murder did so out of a sense of guilt. This guilt was over the mutilation/murder of the 2 U.S. soldiers, that the soldier thought that perhaps this mutilation was in retaliation for the rape/murder.

So the seeds for this was already planted, then rags like the L.A. times start to come forth with their "military sources" and now you have this fine bloody mess. And the MSM/anti war idiots are gonna blame bush for this and totally take the blame off these savages.

The threat level to our troops AND civilians in Iraq is that much greater, now if heaven forbid an iraqi citizen, coalition force member, or U.S. military personnel gets abducted in the future, it's gonna be a heckuva lot more brutal than beheading, and you know how bad that is.

We can bet the MSM (driveby media) will be watching this American unit like hawks for more pictures/stories of American "atrocities", never mind the murdering terrorists. The 101st are on their way home.

The first part arrived this weekend.

Wouldn't you think there'd be lots and lots of blood, if they were mutilated ALIVE? There's just not much blood at all.

It sure does sound a little "coincidental and convenient" for them to use that excuse for torturing two of our troops that had nothing to do with that alleged rape.

It seems that not just the MSM see these animals as something other than what they are...

The SCOTUS gave them status under the Geneva Conventions last week..that could be the equivilent of the soldiers themselves...pffffft

Oh, group guilt? So, by their logic, we could just grab 3000 random Muslims and burn them alive or drop them out of helicopters, to avenge 9/11.

What if we were to start with the residents of Guantanamo? I wonder how far we'd get before they cried "foul." - I'm guessing this only works in their tiny little diaper-wrapped minds to justify their own actions...

Very good question..and I would have to assume they would. I get the impression that in their world, there IS no such thing as rape...the woman was asking for it, hence the stoning.

Remember 9/11, no one took them seriously either until...

It was a difficult decison to watch -- I saw the behading video and it haunts me to this day.

But America and the rest of the Western World needs to see The Enemy clearly.

----------------------------------------------

You needed a refresher, a reminder? I could watch but I've seen enough in real life to last my lifetime and I don't need to be reminded that we are fighting sub-humans...that fact is never questioned.

Heck, I read something that said women could be killed just for TALKING to a man that they were not related to, or based upon a RUMOR that a girl was "promiscuous", doesn't need to be proof - someone saying it is enough to "stain" her... These "people" have no appreciation for human life -- not even their own family's.

Don't get me wrong. I thought for quite some time before deciding.

But the average American seems to not understand just how evil the enemy is. THEY are the ones that need to see this.

But it is an individual call and I was pretty close to giving it a pass.

unfortunately they would probably claim it was Bush's fault for starting an illegal and immoral war...
