#1 If they kill the prisoners the US military and administration should say loud and publically that there is now a "No Quarter" policy in force in regards to al Qaeda and Taliban (or other) jihadis encountered in the field in accordance with the specifications of the Geneva Convention regarding non-uniformed enemy combatants.

Kill the bastards...

Kill them all...

#2 I agree totally. It is way past time to "go Roman"...but I guess it is never too late.

Surround the entire area where this took place, out as many miles as it takes, and then systematically tighten the noose destroying EVERYTHING in our path, until (a) we get the troops back or (b) we destroy EVERYTHING!

#3 When the US goes 'Roman', do so such as the siege of Masada by the ancient Romans, circle the area (inner ring and an outer ring), take your time,put the word out that anything larger than a rat, moving at night will be shot,bring the bloodhounds in also. shrink the ring. They'll find our guys dead or alive!

#4 Every time something like this happens people demand we give up on the idea of Arab democracy and resort to extreme violence.

Sounds like a plan. Kill everything.

#5 The time has come to begin aswering Islamic barbarity in equal or greater measure. Inform the terrorists holding our soldiers that they have 24 hours to release them unharmed. If they do not, a Sunni majority city will be bombed into rubble. Should they be so unwise as to kill all four soldiers, then four Sunni cities are flattened.

I no longer care if the cities in question are in Iraq, Saudi Arabia or anywhere else. The Sunnis have worked very hard to breed up these terrorist scum and it is now time to pay the piper. Only when thousands of Muslims are dieing for each of our soldier's death will Islam sit up and take notice. It is long past tea for total war against Islam. David Yerushalmi's article and comments on Moderate Muslims is a must read. He concisely puts forth why Islam and Shari'a law are our deadly enemies.

#6 "Posted on a militant website..."

How does Internet tracking work in Iraq? What's the turnaround for tracing/interrogating/targeting source?
