The statement notes there is "an absolute prohibition on the killing of persons who are not taking active part in the hostilities" and "the parties to the conflict must provide adequate medical care for the wounded - friend or foe".

Does this mean the insurgents are going to stop sawing innocent peoples heads off?
Or is the red cross OK with that?

So its OK for them to chop peoples heads off, right?

Just as long as one of our boys doesnt make the mistake of shooting one BEFORE he asks him if he is armed and intends to harm him
Originally posted by bodrul
if shooting unarmed people is what you lot get kicks out of what are we to argue,

The US forces are absolutely complicit in cutting people's heads off. This is the part that's aimed against us al

I would like to see how they are gonna enforce it with the "heroic head choppers" whoops I mean the insurgents, or does war crimes only count when WE do it?

How else are they supposed to know if they don't have a pistol or hand grenade or some other weapon? Should some one go out with a white flag and ask all of them if they are armed? Or maybe they should wait till one of them is shot, after all they might have been joking and didn't really mean any one harm. I
f they say they are surrendering and have bombs strapped to they how many of ours have to die BEFORE its OK to shoot if you THINK they are armed? Or should they ALWAYS be given a free shot?
What it amounts to is the sniveling cowards are mad because our side caught onto there tricks.
If they dont want their wounded shot QUIT BOOBY TRAPPING THEM.
Oh I forgot they can do what they want
