I'd like to put the idiots at NBC over there and see how long they'd last...

[msnimje]

Is Kevin Sites still with the Marines?

[Squantos]

This just in terrorists are dressing up as imbedded media presstitutes.......

"I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I killed them all there would be news from Hell before breakfast." --- Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman

[Zeroisanumber]

"The forces we face are not following the standards rules of war. They are using mosques. They are using civilians as human shields and all sorts of other tactics."

919. ART. 119. MANSLAUGHTER

(a) Any person subject to this chapter who, with an intent to kill or inflict great bodily harm, unlawfully kills a human being in the heat of sudden passion caused by adequate provocation is guilty of voluntary manslaughter and shall be punished as a court- martial may direct.

--Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Provoked or not, in the heat of passion or not, the Marine in question comitted a crime under the UCMJ which must be duly investigated. As Americans, and especially in the armed services, we do not compromise or otherwise lower our standards. The tactics employed by the enemy do not excuse or exclude our soldiers from the UCMJ and the recognized laws of war.

This is what makes us different from the insurgents, terrorists, and other barbarians that we're fighting in Iraq and elsewhere.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

John McRae

The lesson is, now and always, don't wound terrorists.

[ApesForEvolution]

Inside that bad guy zone, you assume they're all bombs and not just bodies...I have no problem with what this Marine did and hope to hell we don't have to deal with this piss-ant sh*t from the Communist Politboro Alphabet Networks...I'm about to call for an insurgency against the Propangandist Media, which wants us to lose this war and lose lots of our warriors for their own sick ends...

[Route101]

This is rediculous!!!...How in the hell are we going to win the war on terrorism when we second guess every move our troops make??...Get those G.D. cameras out of there!!!...What now...we have imbedded liberal photo ops for the radical left??...This is B.S.!.....Where's the outrage by the media over BEHEADINGS????...This marine had been shot in the face the day before and lost one of his own when a rigged dead terrorist's body blew up. The Liberals jumped all over this today and it makes me sick!

[CDHart]

I wouldn't like to be the reporter who gave this story to the media. I wonder if he's still with the Marine unit?

[independentmind]

The more I think about it the curiouser and curiouser I think the timing of this story is. This follows the great PR that the US military received from the Marlboro Man photo. It didn't take long for the MSM to come up with an alternative vision, did it?

[InvisibleChurch]

why does kerry have no opinion on this?

[Types_with_Fist]

By Harry ("Breaker") Morant

In prison cell I sadly sit,
A d__d crest-fallen chappie!
And own to you I feel a bit-
A little bit - unhappy!

It really ain't the place nor time
To reel off rhyming diction -
But yet we'll write a final rhyme
Whilst waiting cru-ci-fixion!

No matter what "end" they decide -
Quick-lime or "b'iling ile," sir?
We'll do our best when crucified
To finish off in style, sir!

But we bequeath a parting tip
For sound advice of such men,
Who come across in transport ship
To polish off the Dutchmen!

If you encounter any Boers
You really must not loot 'em!
And if you wish to leave these shores,
For pity's sake, DON'T SHOOT 'EM!!

And if you'd earn a D.S.O.,
Why every British sinner
Should know the proper way to go
Is: "ASK THE BOER TO DINNER!"

Let's toss a bumper down our throat, -
Before we pass to Heaven,
And toast: "The trim-set petticoat
We leave behind in Devon."

[R. Scott]

There should be an investigation, but they should look into the circumstances."

Circumstances in extenuation and mitigation.

[McGavin999]

Something needs to be done about NBC. It's bad enough that the idiot cameraman filmed this, but there was NO excuse for NBC to air it. That was a fatal judgement error on someone's part. That news division needs to be cleaned out and if GE won't do it, there must surely be a commission somewhere in congress that can pull their license.

[LadyPilgrim]

"EXECUTION"?????????

The titles decribing this action of war are not good!

[VOA]

'EXECUTION' MARINE WAS WOUNDED & UNDER STRESS

and worn out from protecting the worthless, perfidious derrieres of some
peckerwood from NBC.

[daguberment]

Under stress? How could that be?

Interesting update on "shooting" Marine....

[oreolady]

For the life of me, I canot understand why the media is playing this up when we just finished (off) a man who ran for president who claimed on Meet the Press a few years ago that he killed a wounded Vietnamese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And wasn't charged!!!!
Double standard agin?
