A US marine has sparked world-wide revulsion after being seen shooting an injured and helpless Iraqi.
The sickening scene was broadcast by Channel 4 News after a fire-fight in the rebel stronghold of Fallujah.
The trigger-happy soldier had been asked to get nearer to the injured man.
But instead of trying to capture him, the marine is seen leaning over a wall and cold-bloodedly shooting him.
He then turns to his colleagues and says: "He's gone". Coalition chiefs were last night under pressure to investigate the incident

F the Mirror and the MSM. Kerry admitted to much worse and they had no problem with it. They didn't even think it was worth a QUESTION!! For people who go apoplectic when someone "JUDGES"!!! They sure have no qualms about JUDGING the military at every turn.
Screw 'em!

here's a thought - did the man really shoot at the TERRORIST?
I mean, maybe he just pointed a gun at him.

"Keep in mind that when Kerry was accused of the same, there was no revulsion." Apparently not. Fact is, they made him a senator and dam near elected him president. Let's move on from this story.

He's a Marine, not a soldier.
The article is from Britain. With their disdain for Americans, this event has probably been manipulated. The big, fat, liar Michael Moore proved how easy it is.

The Marine was just exercising his right to "choose".

What if that Iraqi insurgent was directly involved in the beheading of the English hostage?
UK liberal media, what say you?

Heck, John Kerry got a medal for doing the same thing in Veitnam.

Was this Iraqi the same son-of-a bitch who 30 seconds before his death was trying to kill that marine?
To: Buckeye Battle Cry
This must be John Fraud Kerry's opening. He will cite this story and say that our troops in Fallujah are "war criminals". He will be joined this time by Chappy Kennedy.
To: Buckeye Battle Cry
Didn't John Kerry get a medal for doing the same thing?

Job well done.
Incidently, I don't see any "world-wide revulsion" here.

I only wish we could 'embed' the whole lot of Daily Mirror journalists, including "Political Editor" Paul Feather-Pussy, with the Fallujah terrorists and then blow 'em all away. This is how the leftie media tries to undermine the troops and the war effort. It's what they did with the famous Vietnam photo of the Saigon Chief of Police executing a Viet Cong with a pistol in.... gasp.... "cold blood". That image was used worldwide to undermine support for that war -- turned out the dude being executed had just slaughtered the Chief's family, but the press never thought that was a relevant fact.

Don't let them go after that soldier! The sniper had probably wounded - or worse - some of his friends. Where is the outrage about the multilated blond-haired woman found dead in the street? What about the torture chambers in Fallujah? They had better stop pushing. Some simply do not know when enough is enough, do they?
