CNN: Kidnapped Russian Diplomats in Iraq Have Been Executed

CNN via Focus English News ^ | 21 June 2006

[areafiftyone]

Baghdad. In a statement published in Internet by the organization Mudjahidin Shura announced that the Russian diplomats had been executed, CNN reports. The info has Echo of Moscow Radio announced.

[areafiftyone]

Since this is from CNN originally I have excerpted it!

[livius]

I wish we'd get together with Russia and really go in and just wreak havoc. This can't go on.

[sam_paine]

Pooty will be mighty upset?

[Jaded]

Isn't that the wrong group of people to p*ss off?

[Spktyr]

Hm.

Wonder if Russia might be rethinking the whole "we're against the US being in Iraq" idea about now.

[Spktyr]

Yup.

[zarf]

This can't go on.

Certainly it can. These are Arabs, the bloodlust is bottomless.

[rface]

Bush's fault

[metmom]

How sad for those people and their families. They really need prayer right now. And I'll be praying that Russia deals with this appropriately.

[areafiftyone]

I hate to say this, but I doubt they will do anything. When it comes to Iraq those countries are willing to do Squat!

[livius]

The only thing that stops them is superior force.

[timsbella]

Where did you find it on CNN? Just there and it's the usual US and Israel slander headlines. More concerned with Gaza and making GI's look bad than reporting. As ever...

[randog]

Isn't that the wrong group of people to p*ss off?

Yeah, they don't tie their soldier's hands behind their backs before sending them into battle.

[Brilliant]

Agreed. Every time they pull a stunt like this, though, they give us new info as to who and where they are.

[OldFriend]

Now our media will be enraged. Russians are more important to them than Americans.

[beltfed308]

If memory serves did the Russians not have some diplomats killed in the 80's in the ME? If I remember the story correctly the culprits were caught and delivered to their family in pieces. True or not I don't know.

[Scarchin]

I've said this in other threads: Time to put Mecca on the table.

[areafiftyone]

Well if you look and click on the link above it says it got it's sources from CNN and since we do have to except anything originating from CNN I did just that. You never know when it comes to copyright complaints! I like to play it safe!

[cripplecreek]

I know I would love to see the Russians unleashed in this situation. Amnesty International etc think we're out of control.

[cmsgop]

Pooty hasn't done Jack in regards to the Breslan Thingy, I don't see him losing sleep over this

[Little Ray]

Neah.
Putin will decide "Its Bush's Fault!"

[MikefromOhio]

I've said this in other threads: Time to put Mecca on the table.

And I've said this one other threads too....why fight 1 BILLION when we aren't even fighting 1 MILLION in Iraq?

[Types_with_Fist]

I can't find it on CNN's page either.

[Glenn]

If I remember the story correctly the culprits were caught and delivered to their family in pieces.

I recall when Iran kidnapped and held the American hostages, they kidnapped some Russians as well. Russia delivered a few clerics to Iranian authorities with their body parts rearranged. End of Russian captivity.

[livius]

I have always felt that if Mecca vanished, it would be like releasing these people from an evil spell. They are very geographically fixated in their death cult, and vaporizing the black box and the moon rock inside it would make the whole cult dissolve.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

It would be nice if Russia would stop playing cold war games with us and look at who's fighting whom for real.

[TopoGigio]

Let the bodies hit the floor!

[xcamel]

They think the Eagle is bad, aggravating the Bear is an exceptionally bad idea.

[TheBattman]

Although the Arab bloodline might be a contributing factor, the real underlying source of the bloothirsty mental state is the cult if Islam. Unfortunately, until the world wakes up and acknowledges that fact, we will continue to see terrorists and violence of this nature.

[daybreakcoming]

For some reason, I am reminded of the Italian hostage who said "I will show you how an Italian dies" just before they shot him. I don't think I'll ever forget that.

The Russians have their own problems with this ROP - this will only kick them up a notch. And they are not nearly so PC as the US is.

[new yorker 77]

More good news for Democrats.

[SF Republican]

There was a meeting in London during the early stages of WWI when France was trying to get England involved. The English General Haig asked the French how many troops they should send, General Foch said, "Send 1 and I will be sure he is killed". Russia, welcome aboard.

[Past Your Eyes]

Exactly. The Russkis are even more toothless now than they were back when we thought they had teeth and it turns out they didn't.

[timsbella]

I saw the logo on the link, but couldn't trace a thing back to their US/Canadian site. Which figures... thanks for the post. I'd love to see W and Pootie join in sharing a can of whoop @ss with these bums.

[Txsleuth]

Appropriately would be to send troops, and help the Coalition get rid of these animals..

However, I don't think China would like it...so, I am sure that Pooty will not do that.

[American Quilter]

I hate to say this, but I doubt they will do anything.

I dunno...I recall reading a few years ago that some Chechnyan muslims had captured and killed a couple of Russian soldiers in a Chechnyan town. Within a few days the muslims and many of their family members had been shot, mutilated, and dumped in the town square. There were no more attacks on Russian soldiers. I'll try to find the source on this.

[TomGuy]

Now our media will be enraged. Russians are more important to them than Americans.

No. Look at the score card. One insurgent prisoner with panties on his head trumps 2 Russian beheaded diplomats.

[Scarchin]

Agree wholeheartedly. I don't even think we'd have to actually do it - just demonstrate a willingness to do so.

[7thOF7th]

Yeah and the libs want compassionate treatment for these terrorists, right! These terrorists fight under no flag and no uniform, they are illegal combatants and therefore are not protected by any treaty. Everyone of these animals should be summarily executed on the spot and leave their bodies to rot wrapped in pig skin. Let's see how these animals fill their ranks if we do this! This is war and we should commit to win. Leave the laws to apply to sovereign nations and civilized society.

[Brad from Tennessee]

After Russian special forces stormed the theater in Moscow three or four years ago to rescue hostages held by Islamic terrorists dead Muslims were buried secretly after being wrapped in pigskins. I'd like to see these guys turned loose in Haditha.

[pogo101]

Very stupid. Russia has always been a brake on stronger efforts to democratize Iraq, throughout the 1990s, the debate over the 2003 invasion and thereafter. Any intelligent terrorist group would seek to ingratiate itself with Russia, or at least to continue Russia's past "let's futz with the USA's policy" policy.

[nina0113]

That was part of the plotline in one of the Ender books - that it had already happened, and the attitude among muslims was that the worldwide dispersal of all the atoms of Mecca had made the whole world holy ground. Orson Scott Card seems to have a more benign view of Islam than I do.

[kinghorse]

I keep seeing this but the real enemy is ignorance and poverty. We have leapfrogged the rest of the world technologically. In the old days we would have unloaded the gatlin gun on em because we were closer to em in terms of civility. Now it's like we are the eloi and the pitiful rest of the world the morlocks. It's not Islam. It's backwardness. It's no different from stirring up a nest of American Aboriginals. Or South African Zulu. Neither were muslim and both were savage in their methods or warfare. Nothing new under the sun.

[Scarchin]

Hit something they care about apparently more than human life.

[newcthem]

Because sooner or later we WILL be fighting the 1 billion, like it or not!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Wow. Russia better not help us in Iraq. It might anger the Islamofacists.

[El Gato]

Certainly it can. These are Arabs, the bloodlust is bottomless.

But the supply of Arabs, while large, is finite. Time to play Cowboys, Cossacks and Arabs?

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

whatever you say

We aren't destroying Mecca....

[areafiftyone]

Actually I am trying to look for a better newssource. This is a pretty good source but I prefer the MSM. I'll keep checking.

[Publius6961]

Does anyone know how many diplomats were abducted? When, where and how?

I have heard very little about this.
