#1 Be funny if they claim it and it turns out to be the guy we just bagged.

#2 I hate to say this, but its a sad reality: our troops must never allow themselves to be captured by these animals. Under no circumstances must they surrender, b/c they must know they will be tortured and horrible things will happen. It is better to go out fighting than to die that way. I truly lament the deaths of these two US soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. Its very upsetting but all we can do is pray for their families.

#3 I think the troops already know this, bgrebel. Last year there was a post on Rantburg from a US soldier who said that every fight was to the death. These guys might have been knocked out when the humvee crashed.

#4 Brave Lions of I-slam killing wounded captured men.

They are just pathetic, and they know it.

Anyone with a brian can see that I-slam is evil. This will be I-slams last century.

I wonder do the slammers really know how little effort (compared to WW2) we are using to completely destroy them? Do they not realise the west is many times wealthier than in WW2? Do they not realise how vastly more violent and indiscriminate we could be?

Islam is a death cult, and I can only conclude they want us to end it for them.

#5 they did this to make civilians suffer, that's obvious. it will make the checkpoints that much tougher on civilians. there's no way those GI's were just grabbed like a baghdad thief. those scumbags don't have the fortitude to pull that off, not on trained US soldiers. you can bet the terrorists approached pretending to be civilians, asking questions.

#6 Slay them ALL! Burn the tentage, rations, blow the bridges, cut down the trees, kill the livestock, spoil the wells with chemical agents, and fly out never to return.

#7 Fred, have you read the NY Post Editorial this morning called: BARBARIANS? It's worth the read. It sums up what many of us are really thinking.
BTW... long time no type. Missed you, but I had family issues. I'm looking to import my Mary Lu's Blog Du Jour posts to Wordpress. Got any ideas? Mary Lu

#9 Big Jim,

There wouldn't be any sign the cancer of i-slam ever existed.

#10 Most of the fighting isn't about Islam, but about power. AQ isn't about islam, but power. Most of the ba'athists aren't in it for islam, but personal power. Even the funding of wahabbism by saudis isn't about islam, but power. The same is true of Iran and its mad mullahs. We need to exercise some major power, so these dumbsh$$$ will know we've been very gentle with them. If we were to truly crush Iran with all the power and might we have, it would send a clear message to not only the Middle East, but to Russia and China as well that we're tired of playing games, and we're angry enough to do some serious a$$kicking. That message needs to be delivered immediately if not last year.
