Never trust AP or Reuters at face value. Wait for authorized Official Releases. Anything "unnamed" "annoymous" "unauthorized" or "unverified" is BS until proven.

BTTT.

Hillary isn't the only one who feels this way. These kind of atrocities will gather even more momentum for a withdrawal. And I'm starting to lean in that direction.

That is pure PC BS !

As Patton said: "Make the other S O B die for his country" terrorist cause etc.

I don't recall any wars that were won by turning tail and running.

Some people have a short memory, the Viet Nam retreat was only a little over 30 years ago.

There are some who are willing to kill themselves to kill unarmed civilians and yet, you have a hard time figuring out why they would take the trouble to kidnap a "low level squad"?

Why would Sunnis not kill any Shiites

They would.

If this report is accurate....where is the media? Why don't we have breaking news and Fox Alerts? Where are the grieving relatives being interviewed by Greta? Where are the congresscritters decrying this atrocity? Where is President Bush?

The majority of this country has no clue this happened. And I'm in the minority here....but unless our military stops convicting our soldiers and allows them to fight a war.....then I want them brought home. Empower the terrorists? Our Congress is doing that everyday. And it won't stop. So.....either unleash hell or come home.

Thanks, I needed that! I'm so outraged right now I don't know what to do with myself. This is sickening to the core. May the wrath of our military rain down on their heads, no mercy, just a big fat killing spree and screw the Geneva Convention. I never thought I could hate some people so much to where I wish they would die the most awful death - them, their children, their children's children, etc. I hope to God there is retribution for this and may it be swift and deadly.

What the hell is it with AP? First they say the contractors were shot in the head (4 of 5), then they didn't know if they were still alive (I know), which the brother of one contractor said that's not what happened because he was there with his brother working... now this?

How come they didn't report how many they killed of the enemy?

Bastards.

BTW, those two reporters... bad news.

This is insignificant. All major (well basically all) media, whether CNN, FOX, the NYT or whatever, uses AP and Reuters stories. Look at this quote from the AP story:

None of the American or Iraqi officials would allow use of their names because of the sensitive nature of the information.

This means the story is crap until proven and confirmed. At this point it can be true or made up, distorted, faked, whatever...

"If you don't trust an Arab reporting a story, it seems to me that you'll be hard pressed to ever learn anything about an Arab speaking country such as Iraq."

Embellishing stories is a favorite regional passtime.
