You may wonder why the U.S. millitary does nothing to stop these executions. This is because there are huge parts of Iraq where the U.S. millitary is scared shiiteless of going into, after the Faluja incident last year in which a couple of boys were barbequed and put on display around town by the Iraqis. GWB doesn't want to risk any more bad press, so he lets the Iraqis have a free reign in various trouble spots, while occasionally bombing them in hopes that it keeps them in check.

I wonder why these contractors keep going over there to work. $$$ is nice, but it ain't worth my head in a basket.

Being paid 5 times what you could make in the States seems motivation enough to put your life in jeopardy

Your life along with family at home without a husband/father/son/brother.

It is an easy, and efficiant way to track these fools down. This new video is worse than all the rest!

I would not hesitate to have a chip implanted in me if I chose to work over there. If it meant the bastards got their just dues, I'd be all for it. It's a damn shame it hasn't been done yet anyway. It seems like our CIA is just paralyzed on stuff like this.

What would the cost be of doing this? Millions? I do agree that this could be a solution, but Im just wondering how much this would cost us.

The benifits would far out weigh the cost, but yeah, it would probably cost a few million. For that couple million we could see the kidnappings stop and we could get rid of a few bad guys. The first beheading video with american forces storming the place would be priceless!

GPS signal is easily blocked. I doubt you'd get a good gps signal inside a van, much less in a basement.

The USA has come a long way AFA raiding suspected camps/safehouses go...but we've got a long way to go.

Know who's got this crap down to a science? The Israelies. They don't fck around. Suspected safehouse?

/missile
/boom
/no more problem


Wha? We were wrong? Oh well. They were probably GOING to do something bad...so we're justified anyway!

I'd like to see the USA take on a stance more like that. Damn "world opinion" and damn the UN.

I don't think it matters if Abu Ghraib occurred or not, this still would've happened.
My point is I could care less that some Iraqis got tortured. We should tell them all to go f*ck themselves and pull out of that sh*t hole and leave the country an unstable ghetto for the next 100 years.

The GPS solution is a joke.

Look, they know where these people are. That is not the problem. I'm not saying they know exactly which building they are in, but they probably know which city it is, and also which part of town it is. They found this guy's body almost immediatly after he was beheaded. Even if they knew the exact location of these folks beforehand, it would make no difference. The best they could do is to bomb the building to kill the terrorists and hostages alike.

Like I said, there are entire cities which the U.S. army is afraid to go into. The millitary can squash the entrails out of the enemy on the flat open deserts, but in the cities, urban guerilla warfare is another story, one for which the U.S. army is so badly prepared it's not even funny.

And rightfully so. Islam has produced a sick culture that does nothing to advance the human condition. They are barbarians who do not deserve to be called human beings, nor do they deserve treatment as such.

Can anyone provide the link to the beheading? Intriguing minds want to see for themselves.

Yeah Definitely NSFW. Wait for home if you want to see it. For me on the other hand, the sound was more than enough.

Also, no subscription needed.

Anyone in history who attacks in an urban environment is unprepared and at a disadvantage. That's just the way it is. MOUT Training has prepared many companies for urban fighting, and our Spec Ops Units are trained much better than the guerillas. The ROE and civilian factor are the main reason our boys have trouble over there, not preparation, though standard army units are not very effective in SOSR or CASEVAC. Yes, there are things the Army needs to work at, but they are not "so badly prepared it's not even funny."

Sidenote: I can't believe people are actually watching that video. Why would you want to?
