A chorus of Democratic condemnation emerged from the unwashed forums in DUmmyland this afternoon, as soon as this news of the US military killing 46 Iraqi Fedayeens became known.

Initial cries of "civilian slaughter" and disappointment at such few US casualties in the action (at last report, of our guys were wounded) gave way to disbelief over the military characterization of them as "ambushers" and "Fedayeen". Some posters claimed most of the 46 were civilians, while others dismissed the news as propaganda by the US military in the wake of President Bush's visit.

Here is a post that sums up the prevailing attitude in that America-hating outlet:

The Circus at FOX news is saying that they were fedayen fighters, Ha!

Just because these guys were dressed in black in the middle of the night, to FOX it means that they were Fedayen fighters. Which is ludicrous but convenient for the propaganda machine to divert attentionaway from the fact that these were plain iraqi's.

One poster compared this to the beginning of Vietnam, while another linked to the Breaking News story posted here on Freerepublic as evidence that "bloodthirsty Freepers" are loving this.

My response: Yes, us patriots here do love it when our guys kill our enemies.

Thanks for the enemy report, nwrep ~ and the better one on the enemy casualties from the 4th Infantry Division, FairOpinion.

Major Bob was pleased, I think:

"This was really just an act of brazen stupidity."

 

Re. the enemy captives:

"They are going to be a treasure trove of information if we can keep JAG out of it."
