I also notice that they missed my suggestion, which was to have Mr. Sites and other of his ilk be the ones to precede the arrival of the Marines for the purpose of testing the vital signs of any downed terrorists they come across to see if they are still capable of pulling a trigger, a knife, or letting go of a grenade. The journalists and camaermen can frisk them for weapons and other such things first, so as to save our much more valuable Marines the trouble and risk of doing it. Think of how many wounded mass murderers a journalist can save by going in there first to separate the incapacitated deadly chaff from the "just playing dead" deadly chaff.

The same thought came to my mind, since Sites (and other MSM idiots) apparently think that identifying "harmless wounded" from "still a threat wounded" on the battlefield is so easy that it's fair to play Monday-morning-quarterback on the national news and smear a Marine.

So let the reporters do it. While the Marines watch. While their cameramen tape the results and broadcast them.

Limbaugh has made the point that the aggressors set the rules in war. It is their conduct which ultimately guides our response. In the past, enemies have used various tricks to kill American servicemen. False surrenders, playing dead, or booby trapped dead and injured have all been ploys to kill servicemen. In WWII Americans quickly tired of these tactics in the war with Japan. To make sure the Japanese were dead they would shoot each body in the head. I would like to see the same thing applied in Iraq. Shoot a terrorist, save an American.
