Ivan, Ivan, they're only WOGS, you can't expect them to behave like civilized people....

But, if they do treat our service members in such barbaric, typically-Middle Eastern ways, we should make it clear that any troops found to have done so, and their officers right up the chain of command, will be tried by summary court martial and executed.

About your source:

"Rosbalt is a Russian federal news agency, the largest in the Russian Northwest. Through a large network of its exclusive reporters, Rosbalt collects information, primarily in European Russia and Northern European countries, aiming at creating a unified informational environment in these territories."

"Addressed to Western readers, the English-language version of its website, RosbaltNews.Com, relates the most interesting events in the political, economic, social and cultural life of Russia and its Northwestern region and the details of Russia's cooperation with its closest western neighbors, that is, Baltic and Scandinavian countries, Germany, and Poland. It also offers the analyses of the most important international events as seen through the eyes of a Russian observer."

Well, I guess that it is at least as reliable as Pravda.ru.

They could still overwhelm and capture a spec ops team. Happened during Gulf War 1.

Precisely why I would threaten them. If they understand that gruesome death will come from such behaviour, and the Foreign Minister is killed as an example, then others will be deterred.

Regards, Ivan

Hmmm, what does Amnesty International have to say about this?

"We have some questions about how the captured Iraqi executioners are treated by US forces..."

Iraqi soldiers captured in Iraq to be LIBERATED. Most of 'em, anyway.

One more reason for each and every one of our soldiers to fight the bastids to the bloody death.

Hey, Ivan, I've always wondered something. Where did the expression, "Give the wogs a wiff of the grape" come from? I think they need a whiff in about 36 hours....

That puts it ahead of the New York Times.

Is the Hague War Tribunal going to anything about this?

No, to be busy trying to get Sharon.

If the Iraqis actually do this, the Americans should respond as did John Singleton Mosby when Custer started hanging Mosby's men - kill 10 Iraqi prisoners for every allied soldier similiarly treated.

Such action will qucikly put a damper on the enthusiam of any Iraqi military underlings to act this way. Who knows, they might be the next ones.

Saddam once again demonstrates to the world the depth of his depravity and the degeneracy of the French in pandering to this guy.

Indeed. I think a visit by some specialists to the Foreign Minister who made the threat would be an excellent idea. Perhaps he should be strung up with his bollocks and pizzle placed in his mouth after careful removeal with a rusty knife. That would be an object lesson of the sort the WOGs would appreciate.

Yes, I think they'll make the Iraqi foreign minister a "friend of the court."

Naji Sabri you have less than 35 hours to enjoy what remains of your life.

I hope the locals get you before we do. It would be a fitting end.
