IIRC the men rescued were from the british SAS. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
we should drop MOABs on all cultures that don't meet our cultural standards of what a culture should be.They should drop a MOAB on those Iraqi IDIOTS. The whole country is corrupt and full of greedy S.O.B's. all they care about is who has the biggest Goat or some other B.S....I really hate that our boys our lossing there lifes over there trying to help these ungratefull idiots.
joab said:i guess if their prisoner retention method don't match ours we should be able to murder them with impunity.
That'll teach them to improve their prison system
And you'll have to link to wherever you saw that they were at someone's house. This is all I see mentioned in the original post last month
The British commanding officer in Basra said his concern for the arrested men increased after he received information they had been handed over to “militia elements”. A decision was taken to enter the police station on Monday and a Warrior armored vehicle crashed through the perimeter wall of the jail. When it was discovered the two men were not in the jail, the men were rescued from a nearby house, he said.
Normally operating as in a total state of war at the moment, buckoName me one normally functioning nation on earth that makes it policy to take prisoners out of jail and hand them to miltias.
I don't dis believe it, buddy boyAnd do you really think two special forces/spook guys just went out and murdered two Iraqi cops?
Is that Iraqi law (I doubt it) or coalition imposed rules, chiefAlso, in the same article it mentions how any coalition soldiers arrested by the locals have to be turned over to the coalition forces, so the police were breaking their own laws.
And America is well known to foreigners as the land where money grows on trees and we all wear six guns strapped to our side and beat our wives, sorry I ran out of demeaning little cutisismsKeep in mind this is a country where justice tradionally means killing or torturing anyone who disagrees with you.
Then use your ignore featurejoab, im not totally against your point, but that form of argument is very annoying...
What maybe, I doubt it did you see. I was asked a specific question which implies that SF types are beyond reproach and incapable of murder, My reply implies that I don't believe that they areMAYBE this,
I DOUBT that,
I DONT DIS BELIEVE that...
My speculation was in response to another's speculative question, His speculation is no better than mineyour speculation isnt any better than someone elses, regardless of the point your trying to make.
No I would not and I don't fault the Brits for their rescue operation, never said that I did.Would you trust your super-expensively trained special ops men at the hands of some ragtag militant-related justice system? Neither would i....
Hacker, the Iraqi's weren't the inventor of that. Look at Lybia and the air strikes that put Kadaffi into his shell for a while.Hacker15E said:That's pretty much the same philosophy the Iraqis used for shooting their antiaircraft artillery and surface to air missiles back during the invasion during '03, too.
'Something just blew up close to me...that means an aircraft is near, so I must shoot skyward.'
Very effective defense technique, heh heh. Sure looked scary from the air, though.
I make no judgments of their prison system because I am not qualified, and probably neither are you, to make that critique.I don't fault the Brits for their rescue operation, never said that I did.
However as much as I would want to protect my country men who I believed to have been falsely accused of a crime
I would also be as upset as the Iraqis are if justice was subverted by an orchestrated prison break authorized by the government of those that I believed to be guilty of a serious crime against my countrymen
Whether it is true or not, which you clearly believe that it is not, that is the reputation of Americans in some cultures overseas. And I am qualified to remark on thatIf America is known as a place where husbands beat their wives, then we wouldn't have so many mail-order brides willing to marry Americans. Yes, money grows on trees because we're more productive than anyone else, and how is packing heat demeaning?
