What's the price of Iraqi lives?--US military is behaving more like Barbarian hordes

Gulf News ^ | 5-22-06 | Linda S. Heard

[SJackson]

I don't know her bio, though I've seen many of her articles. My guess, Linda S. Heard isn't actually from the UAE. Simply doing one of the jobs UAEers won't do, bashing the US in english.

Thank you very much, Dishonorable Rep. Jack Murtha.

Fight back against Murtha and the unhinged left. http://www.irey.com

[elhombrelibre]

Did Murtha come up with this or Kerry?

[Clintonfatigued]

What country is Linda S. Heard a citizen of?

She's an American-bashing b**th!

[HarleyLady27]

I wouldn't believe anything that Murtha or Kerry or the libs have to say about our Military....

They are doing one heck of a job and don't this crap from us....

"IF YOU CAN'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS, THEN PLEASE STAND IN FRONT OF THEM..."

[DoughtyOne]

If they can't cause us to lose the war, they'll have to try to pin the war-criminal tag on our men and women in the service.

Murtha, you are a worthless individual these days.

[SJackson]

Thank you very much, Dishonorable Rep. Jack Murtha.

He does feed the mindset.

[Laverne]

And to think, Murtha was "honored" today by receiving the JFK Profiles in Courage award. How how typical of the left in this country; he who calls our marines murderers and tells our country the solution to the war on terror is to cut and run, is the recipient of a "profile in courage" award. How disturbing -- bizzaro world is here.

A clue: Notice the spelling of fervor with a u.

OK. If I pause long enough to give her story any credit at all, I'll fly into a rage. I might even construct a pack of unsupported "facts", lies, and distortions.

[SIDENET]

The poor things were under so much pressure they overreacted by slaughtering women and children?

Was it in the manner of "JENGIS" Khan?

[SJackson]

What country is Linda S. Heard a citizen of?

Don't know. Her articles are well covered in the places you'd expect to find them. I think she writes from Athens. Citizen of the World?

[Patriot from Philly]

Well, the American media has to wait for the report. They know the American people hate them so they'll need to be careful. But the left international media can take Murtha's word for it and not wait for the report.

Murtha may have done the military a favor by hyping the negative and throwing around words like in cold blood the actual report may seem less by comparison.

At least I hope.

Her eight-year old brother was shot in the shoulder and a piece of shrapnel injured her leg.

Inside the house?

We can only await the investigation, too bad there aren't any when the "insurgents" commit attrocities.

"I don't know her bio, though I've seen many of her articles."

Just googling her name brings up alot of interesting items:

Linda S. Heard, ambiguous as usual Posted at 14:02 Usually, Linda S. Heard engages in outright falsehoods. This time, I'm having a hard time telling who's she's talking about in her opening rant in the Arab News...

Linda S. Heard, Ignorant Idiot? Posted at 18:59 Linda S. Heard removes all doubt regarding her idiocy by opening her mouth at the Arab News today:

Just another anti-American BS artist.

In the civilian arena, such a defence [sic] would be laughed out of court...

She attacks her own premise since of course it didn't happen in the civilian arena. Refers to US Army while condemning Marines by name. Would take too long to address the multiple extreme biases displayed.

[Clintonfatigued]

John Murtha's remarks were way off base, but even he never went as far as this lady has.

[MikeA]

So this witch sites one as yet unproven instance of lawlessness by US troops and ignore the millions of ways US forces have extended themselves generously to help average Iraqis? So one act which will be punished if true, unlike happens with real barbarians such as the Al Qaeda trash who behead innocent civilian hostages and are treated as heroes among Arabs for doing so, cancels out all the times US military medics have treated children for free, all the times US army engineers have helped rebuild schools, hospitals and sewage systems, all the times an average GI has given up his MRE to feed a hungry child? Tell you what Ms. Heard...go screw yourself! No one else sure as hell ever will.

And by the way, why don't you go spend a week with the Al Qaeda trash who are sowing havoc throughout Iraq by blowing up innocent Iraqis. When they slam your ass into a burka and treat you like garbage, in this case it would be appropriate, get back to us then about who you find the real barbarians to be, if they don't first murder you for violating Islam by being a working woman.

This has John F'in Kerry written all over it.
