FULL TITLE: 'It's reprehensible': White House condemns photos of U.S. soldiers posing with bodies of suicide bombers in Afghanistan
Excerpted Article:
The White House says the conduct depicted in photos that purport to show U.S. troops posing with the bodies of dead insurgents in Afghanistan is 'reprehensible' ... ----
White House spokesman Jay Carney says the conduct does not represent the standards of the U.S. military and added the president believes the situation needs to be investigated and those responsible should be held accountable. ---
The photographs show a number of paratroopers smiling as they pose with Afghan police next to the severed legs of one suicide bomber. ---
From Photo Caption of Leon Panatta (a.k.a. Neville Chamberlin):
"Foolish behavior': U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta strongly condemned the pictures today after he appeared during a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State in Brussels" (Getty Image-could not be posted)

*sob* They posed with the body parts of an animal. (They should have taken the parts to a taxidermist)
What a freakin' disgrace this WH is. Our men and women are stuck in the sandpits of hell fighting a PC war while enemies here in the states (LA Times-Obama,Panatta, Clinton,Napolitano and the whole sewer system of D.C.) are continually stabbing them in the back and putting their lives in jeopardy.
We should of turned the sand into glass on 09/12/2001.
Apparently this happened a while ago, and the leadership of that Company has been changed, since then. Since none of the men who are in charge now took part in this, what purpose does it serve to publish these photos?
Posted by the LA Times because ‘they have a duty to fully report the news”. Yes,,,this is the same LA Times that will not release the Obama PLO tapes.
SnakeDoc
Right! I had forgotten about that little bit of treason. Thanks for the reminder!
Do you think any administration would publicly condone this?
Yeah, I guess Obama thinks the suicide bombers are boy scouts.
FUBO!!!
....and Hitlery, too.
It blew my mind this morning when the LA Times was on the news explaining their duty to release the news without regard for how it might cause damage. I guess they meant “unless it hurts Obama”.
Wonder what side his bread is buttered on...
This is INTENTIONAL. It's the most vicious & cowardly attack on our military because they cannot fight back.
“Anything and everything, in order to take all of the attention away from all of Obama’s problems and from all of the left’s problems” continues...
Except with this b.s. they are putting (again) our troops in harms way.
Treasonous bastards...
The comments from the article are pretty good. One guy said what was reprehensible was what is going on in the White House. Spot on.
***The photographs show a number of paratroopers smiling as they pose with Afghan police next to the severed legs of one suicide bomber.***
So what! I’ve seen photos of dead suicide bombers, outlaws. Japs. krauts. And I would love to see the Osama Ben Laden tapes!
Also seen videos of people get their heads cut off by Taliban. That is war. Get used to it!
Yeah, the comments from the U.K Daily includes both U.S. and the Brits and I’ve seen (not necessarily on this article) the disgust from the brits on certain stories.
The L.A. Times...well I wish they were part of the photo...
No idiot!
The conduct depicted in the photos, dead subhumans who blow themselves to pieces, is "reprehensible".
“LA Times was on the news explaining their duty”
I wonder how many people, total, there are in the lamestream misleadia.
Except with this b.s. they are putting (again) our troops in harms way.Treasonous bastards...
Exactly. The rules of engagement are killing our troops. No one cares about that.
Way too many!
Meanwhile President Obama’s Secretary of Hate, Hillary Clinton, giggled and cheered when the Muslim Brotherhood insurgents in Libya that we supported tortured, paraded, and then murdered a POW named Gaddaffi.
This c***sucker of a President doesn’t give a damn about prisoners. He is anti-US military. Nothing but. His double-standard proves it.
