These terrorists threw the Geneva Convention out the window on day 1 therefore we are not required to uphold it either in this war against them. - yet we still do!
Plus, marines have been killed by guys 'unarmed and injured' like this and this marine had lost some buds this way AND was shot in the face the day before! This is no video game - it's life or death at the most unpredictable level in the history of war !!!
#1 priority= protect yourself and those with you (which included this awi*e reporter)
Not to mention these people firing from mosques, anyone question that action? Let them (Marines) do their damn jobs, get Kevvy the Rebel Loving Reporter out of there. Who is this guy anyway? Shoot, throw a bandanna on his head and toss him in the heap. They pulled that Marine from duty pending this BS. You all know the risks, what's the chance this guy was next to one of the 38 souls we've lost in this offensive? Take no chances with the rebels. You can't apply our western philosophy of fighting fair to a midieval culture that encourages dismantling people and burning their bodies. If you don't believe that could come out of the "religion of peace", I encourage you to nose around prophetofdoom.net. The man is not a bigot, he did his homework and lived in it for years. I think it may enlighten anyone who doesn't understand the real enemy we face.
