How do you behead someone when you are already dead?

[goldstategop]

Uh huh. This guy is a war criminal. If the Iraqis do this to captured POWs, they'll wish they had never been born.

'They will be burnt or beheaded,' said Mr Sabri.

But, but, but, that's against international treaty! Wait until the French hear about this! (sarcasm)

[Dog Gone]

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

[MadIvan]

I presume this applies to British soldiers too. To which I reply:

WHO THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE PLAYING WITH, GOBSHITE?

Welcome to FR today!

How fortunate for the Iraqi desserters & POW's, that they will be greeted with food, water, shelter, and health checks. Therein lies the difference between the U.S. and the uncivilized likes of Saddam.

'They will be burnt or beheaded,' said Mr Sabri.

Even Nazi Germany respected the Geneva Convention.

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Well guys, does this make your job easier.

Shoot first!!

[SeeRushToldU_So]

'They will be burnt or beheaded,' said Mr Sabri.

I wouldn't have said that crap if I was you!

Every Iraqi soldier killed should be wrapped in pig skin when buried. Every Iraqi officer captured should be confined to prisons with female guards and gay inmates. Let the Kurds execute Hussein and his sons, and the executions should be broadcast on television. Hang signs on each that state "French collaborators."

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.

[LurkedLongEnough]

You know, the French have this thing about beheading too...

[Unknowing]

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

[Cyber Liberty]

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

Strange first post. What's your opinion on this bit of information.

[Semper Paratus]

Is the Hague War Tribunal going to anything about this?

No, to be busy trying to get Sharon.

[ZULU]

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.
