Dad: Blackwater blew up son's and wife's 'skulls'
CNN.com ^ | Tue October 16, 2007 | Jomana Karadsheh

Posted on 10/16/2007 5:26:48 PM PDT by OSHA

Editor's note: CNN agreed not to use the full name of family members in this report at their request, due to concerns for their own safety. BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Haythem could only recognize his oldest boy from his tall and slim physique as well as what was left of his shoes. His son's head had been blown away, his body charred beyond recognition. His wife of more than 20 years was torn apart.

Iraqi people deserve to be shot. Any Iraqi is a liar. We can’t believe any of them. That’s why we liberated them from Saddam. Dirty lowlife Arabs

I like the way you think. You've obviously spent time in Iraq.

What’s your problem, pal?

The issue is not whether killing innocents is OK, as it is in the islamic world. The issue is whether these supposed incidents happened at all.

My guess is no. These supposed incidents never happened at all.

Some folks around here seem to think that away about anyone they don’t actually know.

It just helps that they’re extra foreign.

This is the problem with war. It is terribly messy. This is why no one wants war. No matter how hard you try, innocent people will get killed.

Is this story true? I don’t know. How could I possibly know? I know innocent Americans and Iraqis have been killed. Was there another option?

Of course we celebrated the first free elections in Iraq. Do any of us think the Perfect Human Being was elected? I certainly didn’t. I just thought it was a big step in the right direction, away from tyranny.

War is ugly, miserable, and difficult. Abuses will occur, I am sure. I believe most in charge are not in favor of it, but no war is without its abuses. Many false charges have been flung against our soldiers, who I think are doing an incredibly good job. I’m not going to sit in judgement of any of them. We did not start this war. We just need to end it.

Peace through victory.

Thank you so much for this incredible report. This is the kind of FR scoop that is making the Dinosaur Media moribund. Just think: before the internet, no one would ever have discovered that Ms Karadsheh is little more than a anti-American, anti-semitic shill for the Far Left and terrorist “insurgents.” Thank God for FR — and you!

GREAT find! I figure Murtha, the KOSmies, and the DUmmies will be on this like stink on a skunk. Have you sent this to Drudge or other sites to counter the lefties’ singalong?

Thanks, y’all ... A little Googling is a dangerous thing ... for the propagandists. :-)

So you're saying that justifies killing a woman and her medical student son? I don't get you. Do you think all Iraqis are animals, and shooting them is ok?

That's not what he said, and it's rather rude for you to imply it.

Given the information in posts # 14 and # 29, I think the "facts" in this story are rapidly falling apart.

And this fair and balanced Aljazeera propagandist "contributed" to Iraqi panel: Blackwater guards should face murder charges

Now that's a fair and balanced headline from a fair and balanced "journalist" on a fair and balanced network.

True or untrue life is very cheap in Iraq and Arabia. No Black Water men died and that is 85% of what’s important to me

You've obviously spent time in Iraq.

or Egypt, or Saudi, or Jordan, or Syria, or ....

Having done business, many times over the years, with various people from the mid east, one thing that can be said, with certainty, is that they will lie w/o guilt to achieve their own ends.

Just being a realist and very non PC.

>>Choking back tears, he said, “Killing them was not enough, blowing up their skulls, they burned them and disfigured them.”<<

Perhaps the Blackwater team remembered the condition of the burnt, dismembered and decapitated American bodies that were hung from the bridge.
