But this little nugget of uplifting news was tucked inside the article...

Fueling the furor was the fact that...after the bodies were torched, a U.S. Psychological-Operations team descended on Gonbaz in Humvees with their loudspeakers booming: "Taliban, you are cowardly dogs. You are too scared to come down and retrieve the bodies. This just proves you are the lady-boys we always believed you to be."

Heh heh.

Who cares?

SUPPORT THE TROOPS!! The armchair quarterbacks screaming to court martial these men make me sick. All is fair in love and war. Bodies are routinely cremated in this country. Now we have to be concerned how the terrorists feel if we cremate their dead, give me a break and give the troops a medal.

If they did it for sanitation purposes, so be it. But, desecration of your enemy's body, no matter how despicable he is, is wrong and unprofessional. Anyone can understand the impulse and desire to do it, but the OIC in any unit is supposed to prevent that sort of behavior. I know everyone seems to disagree with this view, but it's not what American soldiers should be doing.

I'm still outraged about hanging burned corpses of American contractors from a bridge. I feel a little better now.

Where are the buzzards when you need them. Oh I forgot there was one, a MSM photog. that then actually put a LIE to the picture.

I guess your sensibilities would be happier if the maggots and buzzards took care of the bodies. Now that's respectful.

The little pimp Australian photojournalist Stephen Dupont, got his 15 minutes of fame without reporting the facts. Instead he slanted the action of Lt. Nelson to inflame the Muslim world - since the enemy makes no bones about burning or beheading their captors or killing their own, neither should the free world - this is a tempest in a teapot.

God Bless our Troops!

These thugs burned the bodies of US citizens and then hung them up on a bridge. Then more recently they ambushed some other contractors and poured gasoline on him and burned him alive. yeah, I will lose sleep over the troops burning dead bodies.

"because they were bloated and they stank."

One condition follows the other.

Memo to our military: Get the f**king journalists out of there! They are not your friend, they are your enemy's friend.

Maybe standard issue should include some large garbage bags, so they can place the bodies inside to stop the smell.

Maybe even add a few slices of bacon inside.

Let's see if I get this right

The dead bodies were bloated and stank

The villagers down the hill were asked to come get the bodies

The villagers wouldn't

So, for sanitation reasons the bodies were burned.

Meanwhile LIBERAL Reporter, knowing all of this films the burning.

PSYOPS Team comes up having learned of the Burning to make use of it for an OPERATION of the heretofore unconnected acts.

Meanwhile LIBERAL Reporter, knowing all of this films the PSYOPS action. LIBERAL Reporter sends film back of both acts claiming that two actions are one action.

PM Howard,... I think it's time some of your best, took hold of this Reporter and placed him in the dock. I'll leave the exact charges and specifications to your able hands.

I don't blame the enemy, Malevolent Bastards of Islam, for trying to fabricate a propaganda issue. But, the idiots on the Left who indudge it are to be intensely despised...

Do let's recall...

The Left at Moveon.org, The Democratic Underground, The Daily Kos and other fever swamp cess pools CELEBRATED this.
