CAIRO, Egypt (AP) -- An al-Qaida-linked group posted a Web video Saturday purporting to show the bodies of two American soldiers being dragged behind a truck, then set on fire in apparent retaliation for the rape-slaying of a young Iraqi woman by U.S. troops from the same unit.

The Mujahedeen Shura Council -- an umbrella organization of insurgent groups, including al-Qaida in Iraq -- posted another video in June showing the soldiers' mutilated bodies, and claiming it killed them. It was not clear whether the video posted Saturday was a continuation of that footage, or why it was released.

It was impossible to identify the bodies, but the footage was believed to be of Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, 23, and Pfc. Thomas Tucker, 25, who went missing after being attacked by insurgents on June 16 at a checkpoint south of Baghdad. Their remains were found three days later, and the U.S. military said they had been mutilated.

The video showed masked men dragging the corpses, first by hand, then behind a truck, beheading one of them and then setting them on fire. Below the graphic footage is a subtitle: "The two soldiers belong to the same brigade of the soldier who raped our sister in Mahmoudiya."

I pray for the souls of our departed soldiers. We need some intelligence to find the names of those murderers. Then deal with them forthwith.

Someone needs to make sure McCain, Warner, Graham and Collins see these pictures.

Agreed. But how would you (all of us) like to conduct a private screening for all the people who are planning to vote for McCain in your neighborhood?

That might have more direct impact on our desired result.

BTW McGavin, how's the support for McCain in AZ these days?

I will not watchc either. These people make me sick. You know it is getting really scary when I don't feel anything for them. If we need to kill all of them, children, women whatever, do it. I resent the fact that THEY have brought me to this extreme.

" Where was the Geneva Convention for them??? "

McCain and Graham had so little faith in the conduct of the US military and so much faith in the conduct of Al Queda.
I despise McCain and his moronic sidekick.

I will not watch the video...I just can't.

No, you really don't need to look at the video. The only thing we can do now is to pray for their loved ones and ask that God will give them strength during this difficult time. We all need to pray that He will protect yours and the others, and bring them safely home to you.

Hey McCain, hows come the Geneva Conventions apply to everyone but American soldiers. They did you a lot of good in Vietnam, oh thats right they said they didn´t sign them. Of course the terrorists didn´t sign them either.

Terrorist Group Mujahideen Shura Council released a video titled In Member of the Sunnah of Our Ancestors in Mutilating the Infidels. The video shows two US soldiers being mutilaed by the insurgency group in Iraq. According to Mujahideen Shura Council, the two soldiers, Pfc. Thomas L T, 25, and Pfc. Kristian M, 23,were part of the brigade that raped and burned Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, and killed her family in al-Mahmoudiya back in June 2006. They were also the same soldiers that were shown in a video that was released on July 10th 2006 with their bodies already mutilated. This video contains more footage of them being tied to a truck and then dragged for a few minutes before then being set on fire and burned.

Wasn't there a statement from the army that the soldiers were not killed, mutilated, because of the rape that had occured in the area?

I've totally lost it with McCain. How is it that he believes that coddling these bastards will insure that our guys will be treated humanely??

Boggles the mind!
