The statement identified the hostages as three truck drivers who belong to the Kurdistan Democratic Party, captured in a roadblock near Taji, 15 miles north of Baghdad, as they were transporting military vehicles to an American base in Taji.


The video shows three young men showing their identity cards. Seconds later, each has his throat slit. A man is seen cutting off each hostage's head. The heads are then seen placed on the backs of the victims.


The "renegade military men, affiliated with the traitor Kurdistan Democratic Party" were beheaded, and their bodies were left on the road to Mosul "for them to be an example to others, and for us to revenge our women, children and elderly who die daily from American raids," the statement said.


The statement's authenticity could not be immediately verified.


The Ansar al-Sunna Army has been accused in a number of attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces as well as on Kurds — including Feb. 1 bombings against Kurdhish political offices in the northern city of Irbil that killed 109 people.

3. I'm sorry, i'm losing track

Is this a video that pertains to the 3 heads that were found a few days ago or is this a different incident?

4. Sometimes you just have to be cruel to be kind. It's the Bush way.

Remember- to a Bush, money is more important than a life.

I see a problem. Even if Bush doesn't get elected, his family is so powerful, they'll still be doing their damage. Just a thought.

This is all the fault of the Bush family. Someday they WILL have to face the truth. Total assholes.

5. Gross! Why is all this happening in Iraq now? Never happened before...

Oh, yeah - I forgot that some disingenuous leader told us they had dangerous weapons there and could attack us in 45 minutes. Well, they can definitely attack and kill in 45 minutes now. Thanks you stupid bloodthirsty lying murdering war criminal. You have just created the largest terrorist state ever - one that makes Afghanistan look insignificant. Thanks Satan.

6. This looks like the beginning of a civil war

Without a strongman like Saddam, it will be impossible to keep these three groups together.

...brought to Fallujah to kill a few hundred Iraqi men, women, and children, a couple of months ago?

9. "Bush 'pleased with the progress' in Iraq" (September 18, 2004)

"The Iraqis are defying the dire predictions of a lot of people by moving toward democracy," Bush told the paper. "It's hard to get to democracy from tyranny. It's hard work. And yet, it's necessary work. But it's necessary work because a democratic Iraq will make the world a freer place and a more peaceful place.

"I'm pleased with the progress," Bush said. "It's hard. Don't get me wrong. It's hard because there are some in Iraq who want to disrupt the election and disrupt the march to democracy, which should speak to their fear of freedom."

MEANWHILE...

11. How big does the "clue by four" have to be

before * and company realize this is a losing effort? Oh, I guess it's a losing effort when Haliburton quits making money.

12. Beheadings

Saudi Arabia routinely beheads people. Last week three security people that were convicted of hashis dealing were beheaded. Where was the outrage from anyone about this? Why doesn't the Bush Crime Family condemn this bruality from their friends the Saudis?

[fortyfeetunder]

14. That's different, it's capital punishment

Remember the Bushistas are selective. Bush believes in capital punishments, so beheadings to punish the guilty is A-OK with them.

13. now this one worries me, because this seems like some tribal business

stuff like this can lead to civil war.

15. Civil War

It is going on now!
