Putin Orders Agents to Eliminate Killers of Russians in Iraq
June 28 (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin told his country's security services to find and kill the people responsible for the deaths of four Russian diplomats in Iraq.

Putin's order will be posted on the presidential Web site later today, an official in the Kremlin's press service said by telephone in Moscow, declining to be named.

The diplomats were kidnapped in Baghdad on June 3 and a group linked to the al-Qaeda in Iraq organization posted a video on a Web site over the weekend purporting to show the killing of three of them, the Associated Press reported. In an accompanying statement, the Mujahedeen Shura Council, a collection of insurgent groups which includes al-Qaeda in Iraq, said the fourth man also was killed.

The deaths confirm ``the view of Russia's leadership and parliament that the forceful action of the U.S. and its allies in Iraq three years ago was a mistake,'' Konstantin Kosachev, head of the International Relations Committee in the lower house of parliament, said yesterday on the Web site of the pro-Kremlin United Russia party.

I'll bet $100 bucks they get their targets before we get bin Laden.

We really should look into more joint operations with these guys.

Hell! The Mossad (sp?) used to be the most reliable revenge group on the planet. That's who we should hook up with if they were still in their prime!

Not so much that those guys are better as it is we are pussies. Our society/culture would freak out if the president made the statement to kill those who wrong our country.

I think you are wrong there. I think the majority of Americans would stand behind the President if he went John Wayne on those motherfuckers. Unfortunately in the last 30-40 years we have become afraid of what the minority thinks.

Now that I think about it, that kind of proves your point doesn't it? We are pussies.

You are right the majority would love the tough guy thing, but unfortunately we cave in to the small special interest/minority type groups. We allow these small groups to have the loudest voice.

It would "Send the wrong message".

I'd ask this question:

How many people are going to fuck with Russian diplomats after this?

Answer: Zero

True story:

Back in the 1980s, when Hezbolah was taking American hostiges in Lebanon one sub-group got the bright idea to kidnap two Russian embassy workers.
The KGB got the names of the kidnappers and then kidnapped their closest relatives. The kidnappers then got a manilla envelope, inside was a collection of ears and a note. The note said that the ears belonged to their family members and that there were two ways they'd get them back, they could release the Russians - UNHARMED - or they would get their family back by mail...piece by piece.

Oh yeah, they let the Russians go with a an apology.
