My sentiments exactly. Hooya

[delacoert]

It's pretty clear that this type of thing happens over there pretty regularly.

...it's not just at the hands of U.S. soldiers...

...War is hell.

You know this because of all your first hand experience in the U.S. Mairne Corps, huh?

You know all this because of all the time you've spent in war zones, huh?

I think you're a pathetic, pretentious, arrogant psuedo-conservative. (I mean that in the nicest possible way.)

[kellynla]

"No?"

Then you need to go elsewhere because we don't tolerate libelers here!

[liberty_lvr]

Ignore this idiot called rasool.

First of all, he's a self-identified muslim which makes anything he says immediately suspect. Funny thing, they've been known to lie on occasion. For example, he attempted to lambaste me in an earlier post by asserting that he was a registered Republican and had voted for Bush twice.

Oh, really? "I've been on some of the far left boards, which are more in line with my political views..." (rasool, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1222998)

Secondly the tenor of his past postings show a well-educated, smug child-like quality. Kind of like every leftist nutcase I've ever had the displeasure of encountering in the past. Look for him to implode and display his true colors before long.

The news media hides more than all others combined.

[AmericanYankee]

Ill start:

"Fact 1 - An hour after 15 dead bodies were found (mostly shot squarely in the head and the chest - you know he trademark of being "caught in the crossfire") a Major, Dana Hyatt, paid out - on behalf of the U.S. military - $38,000 in cash to family members of the victims. Is that normal operating procedure? Does the U.S. military usually give 40 k to family members of people caught in crossfires? Or killed by roadside bombs? I don't think so. "

Yes, I think so, they regularly give money to the families for any innocent civilian that was killed in battle. it is not an admission of guilt or admittance of wrongdoing by the US soldiers whatsoever, its procedural.

[AmericanYankee]

Fact 2 - Fact 3

These are not "facts" that determine what had actually occurred, they are quotes from people who do not know all the facts. The investigation is ongoing, and the soldiers have not been charged at all - and wont be when all the facts come out.. By the way the president said he was trouble by the MEDIA REPORTS, which have been regularly exposed as far from factual and truthful on this site every day.


Fact 4 - Lt. Colonel Jeffery Chessani, head of 3rd Batallion, 1st Marines - parent unit of Kilo company - was relieved along with two of his subordinates. Why?

He already addressed this in which the MSM ignored, he was a political casualty of the Hadith non-incident. You are witnessing the politicization of war using our soldiers as pawns to pander to political correctness.

[El Gato]

Wondering how many Hadithas happened during WWII, WWI, Korean War, Civil War?

Not many, even the SS didn't make a practice of hiding behind women and children, nor of killing their own women and children. They did kill their opponents women and children, so the Japanese. The latter killed Koreans, Southeast Asians, and particularly Chinese, after taking 'comfort' from them in the case of the women. The Nazis of course killed Jews, Gypsies, and Slavs, occasionally taking that same 'comfort' first. But even they didn't hid behind their own kids and women.

[Beckwith]

Ignore this idiot called rasool

That's funny. You'll notice that I addressed him as Rasooli.

When I read his screen name, the first thing that went through my mind was Sean Connery's character in the Wind and the Lion.

[kellynla]

Your party affiliation is irrelevant.
Your post was libelous.

[Beckwith]

They fight so we don't have to

Speak for yourself, Jihadi! I served and would go again in a heartbeat if I wasn't now 66. Nothing would make me happier that to stick a bayonet up Osama's ass.

By the way, not a single one of your facts are!

[Beckwith]

I am a Republican.

Are you the lone Jihadi in the party or are there others?

[KeyLargo]

The lame stream media can't wait to blitz the airwaves with anti U.S. news today so they can bury the story about
Al Z Crappy being killed yesterday.

[El Gato]

Are we ever going to be rid of the 70's leftists?

Probably not, many of them were the Red Diaper babies of '30s, '40s and '50s Communists from various Groups. ANSWR traces it's lineage directly to a pro Stalin group of the 50s. The group split over the Sovite invasion of Hungary, in 1956) The ANSWR folks were in the group that thought it a great idea.

Many of those '40s and '50s Reds were themselves Red Diaper babies of the American Communists of the 20s and 30s.

I expect the kids of the ANSWR, Code Pink, etc folks will come back and work against their country yet another time.

[Peach]

Sadly, I think you're right.
