It's news like THIS that NEEDS to get out!

[Brad’s Gramma]

BTTT!!!

[TADSLOS]

Dead check all bodies. No American life is worth the risk of passing up a single "dead" arab.

shot and killed an insurgent, who while faking dead, opened fire on the Marines

Go find his family and 'send them to allah' too.

[JLS]

Faking being dead means you have not stopped being an enemy combatant and have not started cooperating. That means you can still be shot. This just shows you one reason why.

[Mr. Mojo]

The Marine that (justifiably) shot up of one of these terrorists a couple weeks ago better be exonerated, or they'll be hell to pay.

[Mr. Mojo]

they'll = there'll

Please forward this article to AP,UPI,ABC,CBS,NBC,CNN,NYT and LAT so all the morons who never laced up a pair of combat boots in their life will understand why we eliminate a potential problem before it's too late.

Semper Fi,

PS And yes, I killed them before they killed me.
That's why I am here today and they aren't.

[Marauder]

I killed them before they killed me.

Way to go, Marine. Good work.

You know in your heart that these lilly white skinny fingered reporters and journalists that probably never have squeezed of a round, are beyond what you take for granted.

Thanks for serving.

To hell with this. Clear the area with three fragmentation grenades prior to any U.S. force entry. Dispersal of aimed security rounds stat following entry of our forces. Middle finger raised to international community.

Rinse (thoroughly, TROP(TM)considered, repeat). Kind (and rather bloody-minded irritated) regards to all.

[Miss Behave]

Yes.

[citizencon]

All the more reason why Kevin Sites should be branded as a collaborator. He picks and chooses his reports to suit his agenda. We've been hearing stories of insurgents faking death and then shooting at our soldiers, but Sites seems to be nowhere when these incidents are happening.

[Citizen James]

...let God sort 'em out.

[Stringfellow Hawke]

Like my squad leader would say "as you pass any dead bodies, double-tap them to make sure they are dead."

The embedded traitors should be taken out of there and let our troops do what they have to do to win the war and come back alive. To hell with what the left and the rest of the third world nations want.
