From an earlier report .....
"It is a female ... missing all four appendages, with a slashed throat and disemboweled, she has been dead for a while but only in this location for a day or two," ....
People who do this deserve no mercy. Good job Marine.

I saw this clip and didn't think anything of it (and still don't) until I read that some people in the UK were apparently upset by it. What I saw was a clip of a Marine climbing on top of some rubble against a building, with another Marine behind him. The first Marine leans into what looks like a large window, points his gun inside and shoots. They then climb down from the rubble and he says something like "he's done". At no point do you see the insurgent on camera so I have no idea if he was injured or armed. I remember thinking how brave the Marine was to lean into that building. This all happened after long scenes in which the Marines were ducking a sniper and some were hit. Saw the same video. Came to the same conclusion. Anyone upset by this has no concept of urban warfare, nor do they have any concern for our Marines.

Hey Sunday Mirror! Is that all you got you f**king wannabe french fairies?
The piece of scum is lucky he did die at the hands of a Marine. He died quick and without losing his head to some filthy muslim fanatic. Unlike some unlucky civilians I've read about recently.
So shut your holes you terrorist aiding limey bastards.

BTW
Why is a 'Political Editor' writing this (False) story?
I think that pretty much explains itself.

Based on Kerry's war record (Silver Star) our marine should get the Medal of Honor!

I guess this means the Iraqi insurgents will no longer treat captives under the Geneva Conventions rules and will resort to ... I dunno, cutting off their heads or something.
Say what? They already do? Oh never mind. I guess payback is hell then.

They also selectively edited it to try to make the marine look as bad as possible.
And your right, the left will take one incident and try to turn the whole war into it. Like Abu Graihb and Kerry's testimony.
We're not falling for it this time. The country seems to be well behind our boys (and of course it helps to have a true Republican president).

That's NOT the video. It was taken over a year ago in October 2003 and did not take place in Fallujah.

These soliers need to be let alone to fight and WIN the battles. Once again the media is on the side of the terrorists & showing how bad america is.

Was this person, in fact, an Iraqi?
Did the soldier take video of this man while his hands were bound then post it on the internet?
Did the soldier cut off his head with a knife while screaming to his "god"?
No?
Nothing to see here. Move along.

Seeing all the people getting beheaded because the Arabs believe they can threaten and get their POW's released --- I think we should adopt a policy of no more POW's.

Why is a 'Political Editor' writing this (False) story? "Political Editor" makes me think of the "political officers" that used to accompany all Soviet military units, making sure everything was done to the Kremlin's liking. I see little difference here.

There are two videos linked on this thread. The Reuters video shows nothing but the gun fight then one of our guys shooting down an alley and saying "He's done".
The other video has more footage of the same incident:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/video1043.htm
There's the gunfight and interview of our soldier. At around 1:20 in one of our guys says "he's wounded in between these two houses". After this is the part where our guy shoots down the alley and says, "He's done".
I fail to see the outrage from this.

Very good point. Also remember if they will forge a document to slander our President they will edit a video to suit their purposes.

Our SOP was to pumpkin head the "body" to be searched for any IED. If the body wasn't clearly "ripe" and didn't respond to commands in the local language then a 230 grain message was sent to the motors. A folding grappling hook and a hundred feet of line then made a remote pull safer.
Presstitutes ........doom on em all.

Did he drag him to a dark room,Put a mask on his own face and join five other masked men to cut the terrorist's head off on live television. The media should just butt out.We have to rid the world of those who would see us all destroyed, We should not make the job more difficult with false, misdirected pity. The news media cares more for crazed terrorists than unborn children.
