Babel, May 23, (VOI) - Iraqi police forces in Babel province found on Wednesday two bodies believed to belong to two of the kidnapped U.S. soldiers near al-Furat river in al-Musayab region, 50 km northwest of Hilla, a police source said.

"Two bodies in U.S. uniform were found by Babel police forces near al-Furat river. They bore signs of torture," the source, who asked not to be named, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI). "The police handed the bodies to the U.S. army and cordoned off the area," he also said. No comment was available from the U.S. army on the incident.

A police source had said earlier that police forces in Babel province found a body of a U.S. soldier who was kidnapped last week near al-Musayab river. "Babel police forces today found a body, believed to belong to one of the three U.S. soldiers who were kidnapped last week in al-Mahmodiya region, south of Baghdad," the source, who asked not to be named, told the (VOI).

"The body bore a gunshot wound to the head, the hand had a tattoo and he wore U.S. pants," he added. No comment was available from the U.S. army on the incident.

Three U.S. soldiers were kidnapped last week in al-Mahmodiya region, south of Baghdad. The U.S. army launched a wide-scale operation in response to search for them.

#14  "No Surrender Week". In response to the recent atrocities, coalition forces will refuse to accept any surrender from armed militants for one week

Which will supply the front page headlines for the New York Times for the next six months.

#10  Payback needs to be a bitch. Everytime one of this mouth-breather islamics asks himself if he should do this, the answer needs to come back with a resounding NO. God rest our soldiers souls.

#8  I like that idea: "No Surrender Week". In response to the recent atrocities, coalition forces will refuse to accept any surrender from armed militants for one week. Suck it, rubber pantsed jihadis.

#7  The "Triangle of Death" needs to be made to live up to its name. An area some ten kilometers around the soldiers' abduction point needs to be bulldozed flat, without warning. Film the fleeing families and screaming children. Show it on Iraqi television along with the dead bodies of our soldiers with a warning that this is what happens to any neighborhoods who let the terrorists operate with impunity.

This charade has gone on for too long. We are dealing with people who give a rat's ass about being liberated. They want to live under harsh control, like that which Islam provides inflicts. I say, let's give it to them.

#5  We need to retaliate, but not against the Iraqi people. We need to find a group and simply refuse to let them surrender. When the bodies are turned over with 50-100 bulletwounds each, the families will know that we've stopped being nice. Of course, using napalm on one of these "meetings" would also send a loud and clear message. The message needs to be spread, and needs to be consistent - if you fight against us, you're going to die a horrible death. Every a-q, sunni or shia militia, or iranian hired hand needs to get that message, loud and clear.

#3  The message to the US soldiers and marines should be very, very clear: never, never surrender to the other side. Go down fighting if you have to. You will die (horribly) if you are captured.
I'm waiting for the people who bitch about Guantanamo to rise up in outrage over this gross and obvious violation of the Geneva convention. I am also waiting until pigs fly.
