I hope he goes on another gotcha patrol and winds up lost and alone in the middle of Fallujah!! He fails to see the other true stories of the "innocent" terrorists ambushing our troops by playing dead. TRAITOR!!!!!!!

What is amazing about Kevin Site's apparent effort to defend himslef, is that he sickeningly tries to paint himself as the VICTIM !! What an idiot.

Don't you mean take a look at a slimy reporter playing CYA? This guy is going to be responsible for trashing the entire embed program. Other "journalists", including the very few good guys out there, are not going to be able to go out and cover the war first hand.

He not only betrayed our Marines, he even betrayed that braying pack of wolves called "journalists".

The real story is; a Marine came upon the enemy who might have been dead or he was faking death.
The Marine did his job and eliminated the doubt.

If anyone cannot comprehend the dilemma then that's their problem.
The Marine did his job. Period!

We in the Marine Corps are paid to kill the enemy. If you wanted someone to go to Iraq and "play nice" then you sent the wrong Corps.

Any questions?
I thought not.

Semper Fi,
Kelly

It was the Marine's call to make not anyone else's. That Marine's decesion was a life and death decesion, The Marine Lived, the enemy died. The Marine felt danger in his mind and self preservation in his heart decesions are made quickly on the battlefield.

I have told my son, I don't give a damn if the Bastards 10 years old, wearing a skirt or a dress, old or young matters not. If that SOB has a AK47 or a weapon of anykind, or you sense danger --- KILL IT!!

And I say the F###ER Kevin Sites can go straight to hell! Articles below more than show how the terrorists are fighting this guerrilla war. There is only one rule the marines must follow. COME BACK ALIVE TO YOUR FAMILIES AND A GRATEFUL NATION, AND KILL EVERY TERRORIST YOU CAN!!

The US military says marines in Fallujah have shot and killed an insurgent who engaged them as he was faking being dead, a week after footage of a marine killing an apparently unarmed and wounded Iraqi caused a stir in the region.


"Marines from the 1st Marine Division shot and killed an insurgent who while faking dead opened fire on the marines who were conducting a security and clearing patrol through the streets," a military statement said.


Military sources had said that the rules of engagement were looser during the operation launched in Fallujah, for fear that rebels would be disguised, fake death or wear suicide explosives belts.

Insurgents ambushed a U.S. patrol, killing a soldier, gunned down four government employees and clashed with American troops in neighborhoods across Baghdad on Saturday. Nine Iraqis died in fighting west of the capital -- another sign the insurgency remains potent despite the fall of its stronghold, Fallujah.


In Fallujah, where U.S. Marines and soldiers are still battling pockets of resistance, insurgents waved a white flag of surrender before opening fire on U.S. troops and causing casualties, Marine spokesman 1st Lt. Lyle Gilbert said Saturday without elaborating.

Sites claims that these terrorists had all been treated for wounds on the previous day. One man was on the floor covered with a blanket. That makes no sense. Why would you treat injuries and leave a man with his face buried in another wounded man and leaning on a wall? The position of the wounded Iraqis against the wall, one of which was shot by the marine, doesn't make any sense if they had been treated the day before. Medics would have moved all of them, right?

I yell to the lieutenant that we need to move....A Marine from my squad yells, "Are there Marines in here?"

I don't know why this bothers me.

Sites hates what America stands for every bit as much as any Iraqi insurgent.

It's ironic that the benefits-of-the-doubt and looking-the-other-way always go the way of the bad guys with the MSM.
