Ah, but the Geneva violation by Iran’s parading captured sailors under Burquas, along with Pelosi chiming in to do the same on ourselves (in the fake name of mulitculturalism), is not international war crime and mandates negociation and cool heads....

Sure....

This globo world is asking to be nuked

I have a very simple solution:
1. Draft a whole lot of lawyers - we have a surplus.
2. Draft a whole bunch of TV journalists - we have a surplus.
Assign one lawyer and one journalist to every fire team in a combat zone. If they don’t like weapons, allow them to go unarmed - but don’t risk a GIs life protecting them.

Just as soon as the “Internationalists” pull their thumbs out of their ass and help in fighting the world’s monsters - they’ll be entitled to an opinion...

Until then - what they say, means less than nothing.

Semper Fi

"Afghan Human Rights Group" ??

What group ? I want to know more about this group. Who set it up, when , where ? In this case it could very well be some anti American leftist group affiliated with Amnesty or whatever. But any time you hear Drive-By media journalists use phrase like "its been said" or "people say" or "its been reported that", rest assured its only THEM saying so without having the guts to admit it.

“Would that make a difference here if our guys did wrong?”

People do make mistakes and show poor judgement. The military does a pretty good job of weeding out the sickos tho.

I highly doubt the marines targeted a 1 yr old child. It may be possible they accidentally hit a 1 yr old that a terrorist was taking cover behind. We KNOW the terrorists target children. We know they will send suicide bombers to markets, to groups of children getting candy from GIs. We know they’ll stick bombs in the cars of children.

Doesn’t that make a difference? In this case we don’t even know who killed the children. Who is to say the terrorist didnt shoot them expressly so they could blame the marines.

...an explosives-rigged minivan crashed into their convoy on March 4...

...which is, I believe, also against international law although you'd never know that from this "report."

This group only exists and is allowed to operate in Stan because of our actions in Stan. Because of the sweat and blood U.S. soldiers have given....

"...civilians and are legitimate military targets..."

There, it's fixed!

When the muzzies mix with civilians to do their mischief, the civilians become enemy combatants.

Political Correctness has no place on any battlefield. .............. FRegards

“The group said its report was based on interviews with victims and their families, witnesses, local community leaders, hospital officials and police.”

Curious if this village and these witnesses are protected by the coalition forces or if they have to live day in and day out under the treat of Taliban infiltrators?

Also curious if there are any other forensic analysis available?
