The list of critics of the U.S.'s presence in Iraq is growing each day. Former Staff Sergeant Jimmy Massey is a 12-year Marine veteran who's returned from Iraq, airing some very disparaging views on his country's role in the Middle Eastern nation.

Obviously the man lives a very lonely life and found some attention from the "treasonous" branch of the MSM.

This former staff sergeant didn't happen to mention Genghis Khan, did he?

In between these two press mentions, Massey lost his swagger in Iraq, was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, received a discharge, and began decrying war crimes — first to French media, but increasingly in the United States. Suffice to say, it's been a rough, but exciting, year for Sgt. Massey, and thanks, in part, to left-wing blogs, the months to come look to be even more exciting.

I wonder if our good friend Jimmy here knows what the word "genocide" really means. Sounds like he missed that part of history class.

Enemy PSYOP like this should get a "barf alert" in the headline -- or some stronger warning.

Gosh, when I was in the Corps we weren't trained to identify genocide.

That said, one must also consider the source of this article....Islamofascists' primary propaganda source.

The MSM embargo continues as to the good work our troops are doing. But if one in 100,000 comes home with bad things to say about events in Iraq, the MSM is on it like white on rice. And they wonder why they have no credibility.

This guy hits every liberal talking point perfectly:
- Enron
- Halliburton
- genocide
- "economic draft"
- "the sheer brutality of the American military's actions."

This guy has a bright future in liberal politics or journalism -- they love this kind of anti-Americanism.

I read the article. It has his photo. He looks like a skinny Michael Moore. His allegations are directed at the intitial assault.

Once again, we have one mentally ill person touted as being in the mainstream. Out of tens of thousands who are brave and committed, this guy is getting his 15 minutes of fame.

“We’re committing genocide in Iraq”

Well, someone is certainly murdering the language.

genocide n: the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group

Shooting people who run roadblocks would seem to be a rather slow (and not very systematic) way of committing genocide.
