POODLE STORMTROOPERS ADOPT SADDAM'S METHODS
Daily Mirror / Sunday Mirror | 29.06.2003 12:11 | Anti-militarism
Only yesterday Poodle stormtroopers had announced an "amnesty" for the courageous townspeople of Majar who independently successfully defeated, captured and executed Poodle stormtroopers who had persecuted them (see the second article, below).
Poodle propaganda flyers dropped by airplanes on the town read: "We will not return to punish anyone since these are the methods of Saddam's regime. We will return to set up good relations with you because of our concern about a secure Iraq."
Apparently the poodle stormtroopers have re-evaluated the methods of Saddam's regime and decided that they approve of them after all, for the latest article states that:
"MORE than 500 British troops marched defiantly back into a small Iraqi town yesterday to hunt down the gunmen who slaughtered six of their comrades just five days earlier ... Army spokesman Lt. Col. Ronnie McCourt said: "We are here today to gather whatever forensic evidence we can from the police station and the surrounding areas. We want to show people in Majar that we are still here in this area and the area is still governed by the rule of law. We will charge the men who carried out this crime with murder as soon as they have been apprehended."

MORE than 500 British troops marched defiantly back into a small Iraqi town yesterday to hunt down the gunmen who slaughtered six of their comrades just five days earlier.
Soldiers in full body armour surrounded the police station at Majar al-Kabir where at least three military policemen were executed after surrendering their weapons.
Their mission was to find forensic and witness evidence to capture those responsible for the atrocity.
The soldiers - from the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment, Royal Military Police and the King's Own Scottish Borderers - were backed by more than 50 armoured vehicles and four attack helicopters.
Military police sealed off the police station and began searching for evidence which they hope will nail the killers. The Royal Air Force's bomb disposal unit searched the murder scene while soldiers scoured the rooftops for snipers.
Army spokesman Lt. Col. Ronnie McCourt said: "We are here today to gather whatever forensic evidence we can from the police station and the surrounding areas. We want to show people in Majar that we are still here in this area and the area is still governed by the rule of law. We will charge the men who carried out this crime with murder as soon as they have been apprehended."
Meanwhile, in Basra yesterday an official letter of condolence was sent by the people of the southern province of Maysan.
It was handed to Prime Minister's special envoy John Sawers and expressed sympathy and sadness at the deaths while thanking British troops and the coalition for liberating Iraq.
Yesterday the bodies of two US soldiers kidnapped on Wednesday by forces still loyal to Saddam were found. The pair went missing while guarding a rocket site near the town of Balad, 25 miles north of Baghdad, on Wednesday. On Friday one US soldier was killed when his patrol was ambushed and another was shot in the neck as he shopped in Baghdad.
British officers insisted they were not returning to Majar to take revenge or to resume the weapons searches which angered locals.
Captain Guy Winter, 30, told a delegation of local leaders they were there to help rebuild the town. The officer said: "We are here to re-establish communications and get the rebuilding process back on the road."
-SAS troops are to be sent back to Afghanistan to curb re-grouping Taliban and al-Qaeda forces. The 120-strong SAS force will be based at Bagram air base, which is north of the capital Kabul.

FALLEN: Sergeant Simon Hamilton-Jewell, Corporal Russell Aston, Corporal Paul Long, Corporal Simon Miller, Lance Corporal Benjamin Hyde, Lance-Corporal Thomas Keys
-----------------------------------------
Leaflets dropped in the Iraqi town where six British military policeman were killed earlier this week are offering amnesty to the men who murdered them.
The flyers, dropped by a British plane, say: "We will not return to punish anyone since these are the methods of Saddam's regime.
"We will return to set up good relations with you because of our concern about a secure Iraq."
Military officials confirmed British troops are set to return to Al Majar al-Kabir, but did not say when.
Friends and colleagues of the six dead men today remembered them at a service in Chichester Cathedral, which also marked 200 years of the Royal Military Police's presence in the city.
