Nonsense. What this guy did isn't 1/10th of 1 percent as bad as what the enemy does to our people.

And the deaths of THOUSANDS resulting from John Forbes Kerry's actions got him to the top of the Demoncratic party.
John Kerry's courts-martial is LONG overdue.
The car was being chased and shot at because they rightly believed that an al-Sadr man was in the car. Only the U.S. would sit up nights wringing our hands over shooting a dying enemy who was part of the al-Sadr fanatics killing American soldiers.

All there agreed the man was never ever going to live and was in agony.
