“The Taliban admitted that its fighters beheaded seven Afghan soldiers during clashes last week in the northeastern province of Badakhshan. The Taliban acknowledged that the beheadings are “contradictory to rules of engagement,” but then justified the gruesome acts as revenge for Afghan soldiers mutilating Taliban fighters.
In a statement released today on Voice of Jihad, the Taliban’s official media outlet, the jihadist group said it “launched its usual investigation” of the reports of the beheadings “as part of its Islamic and humanitarian responsibility.”
...
The Taliban claimed that after a clash on March 20 in the Wardoj district, “the invader nurtured mercenaries [Afghan soldiers and police] brutally shot the martyrs in the face to the point they were unrecognizable in violation of all principles of Islam and humanity as well as all established rules of war.”

When news that Australians such as those in Mr Hastie's troop have been found to be acting “contradictory to rules of engagement” the main response was the AFP was called in to discover who leaked it. There is no acknowledgement that the rules had been broken by Abbott and ilk when they patently had. This should be beneath us.

I want my government to be far better than the Taliban because I believe sincerely that on the whole Australians wish to see our military uphold the highest standards of professionalism and probity, which to a large degree they do.

It is a weak kneed populist prime minister and the Bolts of this world who are pandering to jingoistic clowns like yourself and as a consequence pissing whatever moral standing we have left up against the nearest wall. People like you who are determined to mince Taliban fighters up and feed their remains to the dogs. What a disgusting, miserable and pathetic sentiment, one unworthy of any decent Australian.

You sir are a blight.

Steele, could not agree more with your sentiments regarding the comments of ttbn "He could have minced the creatures up, and fed them to the dogs for all I (ttbn) care". This is the type of person who agrees with Abbott as he pontificate on the richestness of the war, and the virtues of Australians in a conflict some 11,000 Kilometers from home. What are we fighting for? If it is for no other reason than to act in unison with our perceived "enemy" the Taliban.

Poirot, I have not quoted you directly.
Stand back and look at the discussion.
You have been passing the ball so to speak, while playing the same game toward the same goal as/with SteelRedux.
You did not actually make such comment but I think by lack of adverse comment you do infer the situation SteelRedux is stating is correct.
You have not challenged him in any way so I have commented toward both of you.

Presently I now anxiously await your comment or no comment about Taliban having their face shot off by Afghans nurtured by invaders. Will you again seemingly support the SteelRedux comment?

What is such Taliban propaganda doing on this thread anyway, a thread about Turnbull that has led to comment about the new Liberal candidate.

I wonder Poirot if you will now come to your senses and change sides and direction toward discussion that has now expanded to faces being blown off because of invader nurturing.

JF Aus,

Well that's just not good enough....You can't run around here saying people posted things when they haven't - just because you decide to collectively lump opinions together.

This one takes the cake....

"What is such Taliban propaganda doing on this thread anyway, a thread about Turnbull that has led to comment about the new Liberal candidate."

JF Aus, you were the one who introduced the "Taliban" to this thread.

"Why twist the truth. Liberal candidate Andrew Hastie was on a flight when the hands were cut off for identification. He was a soldier at the time, not Rambo. And my guess is the hands were cut off dead corpses, absolutely different to a head being cut off a living person.
Taliban use improvised explosive devices knowing that they blow the legs and/or balls etc off their victims."

And here....

"If the taliban had uniforms and dog tag identification under rules of war there would probably be no need for fingers."

You end your inane post with:

"I wonder Poirot if you will now come to your senses and change sides and direction toward discussion that has now expanded to faces being blown off because of invader nurturing."

(Let's reprise the final line of your paragraph above from halfway through the thread, shall we...)

"Taliban use improvised explosive devices knowing that they blow the legs and/or balls etc off their victims."

You get 10 out of 10 for hypocrisy.

Come, come JF Aus, the Canning by-election is critical to who will be PM thereafter. It is 'Hatchet' Hastie the Liberal candidate and his success, or lack of, which will determine if Abbott is to survive in the top job, at least in the short term. A defeat in what is a blue ribbon Liberal seat could only spell disaster for the PM.
Hastie has been touting his "war service" as a means of obtaining voter favor, claiming his combat skills will benefit the Canning electorate, just how I don't know! As one seeking political office Hastie has to expect attacks and questioning from the other side of politics. All's fair in love and politics!

Steeleredux,

As Hasbeen has already said, people like you are not worth defending. You do not deserve Australin citizenship if, in fact, an anti-Australian like you has it now. Shame on you!
