One U.S. Marine, a cameraman, and a terrorist. The marine, acting in complete self-defense, fired the round into a terrorist pretending to be dead. Seconds later, the terrorist was dead, and now part of the mosque’s décor.
What do you get when you add all of that up? A compulsion to run with the tape. The mainstream media had President Bush now. This will get him impeached. They knew this ‘Cowboy’ was sending troops over to Iraq to murder innocent civilians. The Dennis Kucinich theory was in full swing. Somehow, the liberal press would have you believe that this poor, unarmed, Iraqi civilian would still be alive had this trigger-happy Marine not gunned him down in cold blood.
Democrats have pulled out all the stops and the Civil Rights lawyers to defend this poor, “insurgents” soul. Michael Gross was already championing the plight of this suffering, innocent terrorist on Hannity & Colmes, November 16, 2004. So, the strategy begins for liberals and the Democratic Party. Dig up anything and everything they can on President Bush and press for impeachment and removal from office; a theory expressed by Rush Limbaugh months before the reelection of President Bush.
In order to have that happen, liberals and the mainstream press want everyone in America to think our soldiers are murderous thugs, thugs that were duped into going to Iraq at the whim of an unchecked, imbecilic, war-mongering president. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coasties are honorable men and women, serving with distinction in a war that protects the life of everyone in this United States, and they spread liberty throughout the world. In a Reuters news story, his fellow brother-in-arms defended that brave marine. “I would have shot the insurgent too. Two shots to the head,” said Nicholas Graham, 24, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. “You can’t trust these people. He should not be investigated. He did nothing wrong.”
Exactly the point. If we are to believe this Iraqi man is an innocent civilian, then what was he doing faking his death? Why would a civilian caught up in the battle not cry out for help? Especially when help was right there? Because he wasn’t an innocent civilian, and he wasn’t an “insurgent.” He was a terrorist assassin out to kill Americans, period. He could’ve been booby-trapped. He could’ve had a hand grenade in his hand. There is a myriad of possibilities that could’ve led this marine to shoot him. Speculation at this point is a typical senseless agenda. This shouldn’t have even made the news. There should’ve been cheers for the marine for doing his job. Instead, we have Democratic operatives trying to insert doubt into the minds of the American people by insisting on an investigation.
Since the days of Watergate, liberals have been trying to remove conservatives by scandal. It seems to be the only method they know how to use. So, by suggesting that there needs to be an investigation behind this shooting, they’re implying that there is something wrong, something the American people need to know. Democrats want everyone to think that this marine performed a war crime. The kind of crime John Kerry committed while in Vietnam. They hope, in their warped machinations, that Americans will begin to think of Iraq as they did Vietnam, which happened to be the entire philosophy of the Kerry campaign. It’s the kind of rhetoric that Janine Garofolo trumpets, the kind of lies the press wants in your subconscious. It didn’t work then, and it’s not going to work now.
Could America have survived World War II and Korea with the meddling press corps we have today? In those days, we would’ve leveled everything; anyone that didn’t get out of the zone would’ve been part of the landscape. Now, with precision weapons and an overly sensitive press, we exercise caution at every little nook, cranny, and mosque. During WWII, that marine would’ve been walking through a blasted pile of rubble. That’s why this marine found himself face to face with an injured “insurgent.” That’s why there’s a story for the press to blow completely out of proportion, and that’s why we’re in Iraq, to liberate the oppressed from terror.
We’re spreading freedom throughout Iraq, which will help to stabilize an extremely volatile area of the world. These assassins operate on one kind of mentality: “Kill ‘em all, let Allah sort ‘em out.” Which is why a terrorist—one that was injured from earlier fighting—was playing dead. This leaves our fine men and women of the U.S. Armed forces only one choice, survival of the fittest.
This marine did his duty. He made a judgement call, protected himself, his unit, and the United States of America. America should be proud of this young marine, bursting at the seams with confidence. This marine’s actions reflect great courage upon himself, his unit, the Marine Corps, and the United States of America.
Semper Fi, marine.
We control the House by enough votes as to make it virtually impossible to impeach W.
I like it.
I know. It's just their thought pattern. Not mine. Like I said, it wouldn't work then and it won't work now.

I like it, Mudboy.
I did sign the petition and just delete the e-mails. The presses put the e-mails out there for people to comment on. It's just you get a few wackos out there. I think it's quite amusing.
That is true. It is the price I pay. But as Rush says, "It's the league I play in." I just find it rather amusing.
They don't have my address. They're just blowing off a little steam, and it's funny.
no, but I do recall "spandex enormity"
From one of our fine institutions here in American education: These guys are so funny when they act wacky.
"You headline this pathetic piece of writing "Kill 'Em All, Let Allah Sort
'Em Out" and then expect anything you say to have credibility? You betray
the same confusion the president does about our aims in Iraq: a) they're our
friends and we love 'em; b) they're all untrustworthy ; c) we're just
they're to help 'em out (then why did you prop up Hussein for 30+ years?
It's a war of plunder, we're losing, and we will be forced out as we were
forced out of Vietnam--and as we would force out anyone who occupied us, no
matter what #@$% they spouted to justify it. Personally, I don't blame the
Marine; I might have done the same thing were I in his shoes. Bush/Cheney/et
al are to blame and if there's a hell they'll fry there. But our children
will be paying for it."
Me too, becuase I also get it all the time.
As usual, you did a good job, FRiend.
Concur, any article 32 investigation would take into account the context in which the incident took place; absent any demonstrated intent to murder rather than defend himself or his squadmates, the only reason the Marine would be sent to a Courts Martial is political.
This would be a grave betrayal.
Perhaps a modification of the embeds ROE is in order: if they want to cover the fight, they walk point.
Thanks for the nice comments. I appreciate them very much, lady.
I would absolutely agree with you, but it's not grammatically correct. I sympathize and would have stated Marine many times over.
Or maybe he was a terrorist in sheep's clothing.
Thank you, kas. Just when I needed it. I had spoken to a jag officer about it. Thank you.
Hoorah, kelly. I'm behind you.
