She probably spoke in code while in Iraq....directing the Islamofascists to their targets....because she certainly wasn't speaking soundly to any Americans.

Look at the headlines of this story at Google News

Look how the media is spinning this story already..

[SW6906]

"The DNC/Not In Our Name/Move On idiots are already asking for Geneva conventions protection for the Fedayeen terrorists who attacked the convoy."

Are you $@#ing kidding me?!!?

[SW6906]

Yeah, why does AP refer to them as "rebels" and not terrorists? Things that make you go hmmmmm. < /sarcasm>

[Dog]

It has started in the media....these weren't Fedayeen Saddam......these were 46 IRAQIS KILLED by US forces.

Notice how they drop the insurgent/guerilla label.

A new low for the Boston Glob.

They got an interesting McD's uniform in that part of the world




I guess I will supersize, sir.

[HardStarboard]

What's 46 times 72?

[prairiebreeze]

CNN.com calls them insurgents and guerillas

[mystery-ak]

By tomorrow the headlines will be..*US Troops Slaughtered 46 Iraqis*...

[gulfcoast6]

You know hoe it goes, they were attending a wedding party and the american troops fired on them.

[jimbo123]

Hell, the vast majority of the Fedayeen weren't even from Iraq. But the terrorist sympathizer democrats and their accomplices in the media don't want anyone to know.

[Dog]

And injured a civilian in the attack..

Geneva Convention (III) Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War; August 12, 1949 ARTICLE 4

I just calmed down over that subject ......you want me to flame you....LOL!

[McGavin999]

Yes, and I can't tell you how pleased I am about this. I want these creeps wiped off the earth. I'm almost embarrassed at how each month of this war that passes the more blood thirsty I become.

[blackie]

Amen Ragtime! :)

[prairiebreeze]

MSNBC headlines them "alleged guerillas"

ABC: Iraqis, although the article says they had Fedayeen uniforms.

CBS: parroting ABC

Reuters: Iraqi's and "attackers". They do mention Fedayeen

BBC: "US kills dozens in Iraqi City" ...I kid you not! Calls them "militants"...Like the Pali's I suppose.

Prairie SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dog]

See.....and tomorrow they will be activists.

[nicmarlo]

No flames; I have a question though. The Geneva Convention applies to declared WARS; we are not, however, in a War, as Declared by Congress...so, must any Geneva Conventions apply; if they do, isn't that out of our own grace?
