Designated terrorist group CAIR demands House censure Rep. Duncan Hunter, a U.S. Marine veteran, for saying he probably killed civilians during his 3 combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan
JUNE 5, 2019 BY BARENAKEDISLAM
CAIR’s perpetual Muslim troublemakers also have their panties in a wad over Hunter admitting during a town hall in San Diego to privately taking pictures and posing next to dead Muslim enemy combatants.
CAIR In an interview for Barstool Sports’ Zero Blog Thirty podcast, Hunter said that during the shelling of the Iraqi city of Fallujah: “I was an artillery officer and we fired hundreds of rounds into Fallujah, killed probably hundreds of civilians, if not scores, if not hundreds of civilians. Probably killed women and children if there were any left in the city when we invaded. So do I get judged too?”
“Hunter’s shameless defense and normalization of war crimes is an insult to both the victims of war crimes and those who honorably served in our nation’s military,” said CAIR Director of Government Affairs Robert McCaw (someone who never served as anything but a useful idiot for CAIR and a convert to Islam)
Hunter went on FOX News to complain that the government (Under GW Bush and Barack Obama) was restricting U.S. troops’ ability to wage war by prosecuting them for extrajudicial killings and forcing them to practice “compassionate combat.”
“The U.S. government over the last five years under President Bush, and crystalized under President Obama, has wanted us to kill the bad guys, but in the right way. Meaning compassionate and only under their highly restrictive Rules of Engagement. (Thankfully under President Trump, the Rules of Engagement were changed back to the way they were)
But this is the ‘real’ reason why CAIR is going after Duncan Hunter:
In 2018, California Republican congressman Duncan Hunter handily defeated his Palestinian Muslim Democrat challenger, Ammar Najjar, for a 6th term.
Ammar Najjar is the grandson of Muhammad Yusuf Al-Najjar (aka Abu Yusuf), a senior member of the Palestinian terrorist organization Black September , which carried out numerous terror attacks including the Munich massacre where 11 Israeli Olympic athletes were tortured, castrated, and massacred during the 1972 Summer Olympics . His grandfather was the leader of that attack. Najjar’s father is Yasser Najjar, a former Palestinian Authority official.
CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN Duncan Hunter’s Palestinian Muslim opponent for congress not only is funded by Muslim Brotherhood front groups like CAIR, his grandfather was the Palestinian terrorist who led the Munich Olympic massacre of Israeli athletes
Odungo’s frequent WH associates...
During WWII, we dropped atomic bombs on Japan and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. Sure wish we could drop some on muslim cities, that might stop a lot of their terrorism and anarchy. Did I say might, I meant will.
As if muslim terrorists worry about killing civilians with their ‘splody things.
Apologists for Terrorists...
I would not want to be one of these ‘CAIR’ people “when the excrement hits the impellor blade” in this country.
Ditto for freedom stealing leftist politicians, leftist media liars, and poisonous leftist academics.
CAIR is wrong about collateral damage.
The Geneva Conventions recognize that civilians may be killed and otherwise wounded, and that civilian property may be damaged during the conduct of war. It requires that this collateral damage not be disproportional to the military objective. This results in a sliding scale.
At one extreme, an existential war might warrant mass bombing, including fire bombing and (prior to the NNPT) the use of atomic bombs, where it is known that collateral damage will result. At the other extreme, it is not conceivable that a municipal police force in the United States would have to use a bomb against a criminal gang. In between these extremes, it’s a judgment call far beyond the grade of a company-level artillery office (yet, were anybody in the chain of command to know of disproportionate collateral damage, they should report it up the chain or to the unit IG).
As to the accusation of a soldier who conducted himself honorably during war, that he is a war criminal, this is despicable. Damn them. They and anybody who associates with them reveals that they are haters. They are completely disqualified, by reason of their prejudice, from rendering an informed opinion about anything.
The case in point is that of the Taliban. We go to great lengths even missing the intended target, to avoid killing wives and mothers.
If the rules allowed more extensive killing, there would be no taliban problem. There would be no Hamas problem.
There would be no Mexican Cartel problem
The sliding scale is a matter of judgement. It can slide either way. Once terrorists start to control territory, the balancing point should move. I think Trump has been right in moving the balancing point from where Obama had it. But, accusing people at the front lines of being war criminals because of where command sets the balancing point is absolutely wrong.
