"Russia 'to kill Iraq kidnappers'

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered special services to "find and destroy" the killers of four Russian diplomats taken hostage in Iraq.
The head of Russia's security services immediately pledged to see Putin's order carried out. The Russian government confirmed the four men's deaths this week, after an insurgent group released a video showing two of them being killed. The group had demanded Russia leave Chechnya and release Muslim prisoners. However much time and effort it requires, we will work to this end. Russian security chief, Nikolai Patrushev "The President gave the order to Russian special services to take all measures for finding and eliminating the criminals who carried out the murder of Russian diplomats in Iraq", the Interfax news agency quoted the Kremlin's press service as saying. He said Russia hoped its friends would help to identify the killers.
The head of the Federal Security Service (FSB), Nikolai Patrushev, promised to carry out the task "however much time and effort it requires", Interfax reported. Separately, the lower house of the Russian parliament approved a statement condemning the killings, and appearing to blame Iraq's "occupying powers".
"The whole responsibility for the situation in Iraq, including guaranteeing the security of its citizens, and also foreign specialists, as before lies on the occupying powers," the statement said. Russia has strongly opposed the US-led military campaign from the beginning. The diplomats were seized in Baghdad on 3 June. A group called the Mujahideen Shura Council, linked to al-Qaeda in Iraq, posted the video of the killings on the internet.
On Monday, the Russian foreign ministry urged the Iraqi authorities and the US-led coalition forces to find and punish the perpetrators."

Good to see people with balls who think about something else than "fair trial"....

bad ass

the first pussy pc american politician who utters the words "operation search and DESTROY" will get my vote.

Insurgents are actually more afraid of iraqi soldiers than us soldiers. They know comfortable cells await them via americans. Which they'll be out of when the iraqi pres declares amnesty.

We have 3 american gi's prolly being tortured every night - and the us govt is doing dick squat.

I'm all for assassination squads to go after terrorists but you don't need to torture people for fun.

The Russian political leaders had a sweet deal set up for illegal oil with Iraq. I would be pissed too. They were all going to be millionaires.
I do like the way they are handling it though. "fuck it. Lets kill them"

 

[AAP]

They are not going to play around. They are going to kill those people and they are going to kill anyone they need to get information about where to find those people.

Russia doesn't have the most pristine reputation in the world and they are not concerned with being P.C. or accountable for a decision like this.

The only thing that puzzles me is why they would announce their intentions. Usually they would just go out and do the shit and be done with it.

I can't believe you guys are applauding Russia for basically spitting in the face of the U.S. and Iraq. It severely undermines the establishment of Iraq as a sovereign nation when commandos from other countries can just storm in and kill inhabitants without a trial. There's no safeguards in place ensuring that the Russians even get the right guys; where's the accountability if they kill innocent civilians instead? How would you guys feel if criminals in the U.S. killed Russian diplomats, and Russia decided to send forces to bring the criminals to justice themselves. The Iraqi gvmnt and it's occupying powers are solely responsbile for policing the nation, and for anybody else to do so is a direct attack on the country.

Israel did that in the 70's with a Nazi war criminal. The US did this shit many times in the past. And dude, Iraq isnt sovereign at all. Iran made several "hit & run" lately, same with the turkish army who does it on a regular basis against kurdes.

that doesn't make it right. and of course iraq isnt fully sovereign in practice - but they are headed in that direction and things like this will only hinder the process

Iraq is a shitty backwards 3rd world nation like most are....Where the hell is the friggin oil damnit!!!! We spend money and lives over there so we can have oil go up? Russians are also backward thinking people with their heads in their asses....Both countries should be kissing our asses for all the tv's and fast food we hooked them up with....fuck everyone except nations with true democracy....

Even Saddam says he wishes he had honey bunches of oats cereal when he was free.....seriously

[dullboy]

yeah, cause they did it so well in afghanistan...


(dullboy said that)

 

[Tweakle]

Indeed. If you want an example of a superpower who knows how to handle insurrection and terrorism in a tiny muslim country look no further than Russia. They're doing such a great job with chechnya, the US could learn a lot from them.

 

[Razorguns]

the US could learn a lot from them.

lot better than we would, if one of our states became militant muslim. We'd probably scream for martial law.

I'd really like to see Russia return to the country it once was, before all the communist/Bolshevik bullshit. An empire adapted to modern times....sounds appealing.

There's a reason why america was deathly afraid of the soviets back in the day. Maybe not americans, but our politicians sure were. If u had anything to do with 'cold war' in your project - the govt would throw buckets at you. Norad, Nukes, Space, Cuba, Alaska - all cuz they were afraid of some fantasy russian attack (truth was, they never even gave a shit about us).
