No excuse for it, and I hope they get what is coming to them... but this is the type of fight we have chosen by initiating this war and and attempting to topple a foreign country that had not previously attacked us. If someone did that to this country, I doubt we would "fight fair" either. I know I wouldn't.

Yes davidpt40, but I'm not sure it's actually considered an opera. But in any case...

X2Lee - I said what I meant.

Yes, I'm sure the 2 terrorist camps we have blown up there so far practice their terror on every nation but the US.

I'll ask this again, if the Iraqi troops/militia executed our troops, why didn't they execute the remaining 5?

isn't it possible the Iraqis used killed the troops in front of the remaining 5 to help 'persuade' them?
and do we know they 5 are still alive?

I'm all for honor, kumbaya and all that but when it comes to a country that's obviously trying evil trick in the book against us I think it's time to be more pessemistic about their motives.

btw, in the video..
notice all the pooled blood by the head wounds?
definately not shrapnel .

to our fallen comrades, Rest in Peace.

Hiya's,
Here in the UK the news has been carrying confirmation of the the two Brit Servicemen murdered
Gave their names and one was from just down the A38 from me

Said their families had been informed etc so guess it's official

Hope the "after-conflict" courts go for the death sentence (dunno if this still applies to scum like this, Bet the libs have done away with it ?)

And while i'm at it let the army do the courtroom stuff as it seems to be quicker and less costly than long-winded darn normal courts where they're gonna cost the taxpayer more n make lawyers richer

Give em a fair n swift trial (unlike their victims) then do away with em

Think line goes somert like this for this instance
An eye for an eye sayeth the lord (in this case a bullet for a bullet)

Can't see that this opinion of mine can lead me into trouble with htc but if it offends be my guest n remove

LOL ... nonono ... where you're from is fine. And, personally, I like Great Britain alot. I've often daydreamed of visiting. It's just weird. You sound more like you're from south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Just as the time passes it will degenerate into urban fight slaughter, with reasons why it started long forgotten.

Just in case anyone would be interested to know, I'd like to take a moment to make something perfectly clear to anyone who would think otherwise.

Coalition forces and especially U.S. forces do not, have not and will not conduct themselves in a manner... ANY manner remotely similar to what any "opposition" may, or have. To think otherwise is absolutely ludicrous. Troops who DO commit atrocities will be held accountable and treated in accordance with the UCMJ, and international law... as stated earlier, we just aren't "evil" that way. We train on LOAC (Law of Armed Conflict) and every soldier, sailor, marine and airman is well versed in these "rules". We do NOT execute prisoners, torture, rape or otherwise brutalize them... period.

Let's see... I'm in a poor country and I'm invaded by a vastly richer country. I have some prisoners, but they cost me resources to house and feed them that could be directed to my fighting forces. I'm probably going to lose anyway and I can't see the possibility of a prisoner exchange as being necessary. What to do? What to do?

From an economic, logistic and nationalistic perspective, it makes perfect sense to simply put a bullet in their heads.

Certainly, we can add the morality spin to it... it's a good motivational tool, but that's about it. War is hell. Get used to it.

You could condense that to:

"Hail Saddam" *blam* "Now bring the women who accepted food and water from the evil invaders for their children ... oh and their children."

Yep ... I call that a "motivational tool".
