I am suddenly much less concerned about the explosion in the Baghdad market.

And where is AmNazi International? Too busy worrying about a f-ing Iraq TV than US troops being executed?

Technicians prepare a Massive Ordnance Air Blast, or MOAB.
Make --and use-- more already.

And I thought that I would be concerned about Iraqi casualties. Not a bit.

One report reaching the U.S. military said that some of the 12 soldiers whose supply convoy was ambushed near Nassiriya in southern Iraq on March 23, 2003 were killed by their captors although they tried to surrender, a U.S. defense official said on March 26. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the report received from the field said that the U.S. soldiers 'weren't given the opportunity to surrender. They attempted to surrender.' Some of the U.S. soldiers instead were killed by the Iraqi forces, the official said. A still from Iraqi television on March 23, shows what is purported to be the bodies of U.S. soldiers after a battle near Nassiriya. (Iraqi Television/Reuters)

When we ultimately prevail and have Iraq under marshal law, the perpetrators should be hunted down, quickly tried for murder by a military tribunal, and hanged. The video should then be sent to Al Jazeera.

We must fight the fight thinking of our own soldiers now.Enough is ENOUGH!
To: Smogger
They think that all they need to do is kill a few of us and we will go home. I hate Clinton for this.

So why is Reuter's posting this as news, days after their Islamofacists did these evil deeds?
Think about Reuter's track record for a moment before you post!

I find it disrespectful to paste pictures of our dead soldiers on the internet. apparently you do not agree. I posted the article verbatim with the tiny picture that accompanied it. I did not post any pictures to be sensational. I don't consider it disrepsectful. I have seen countless pictures of our dead and enemy dead from every conflict the US has been engaged in since the Civil War. Were those pictures disrespectful?

Think about Reuter's track record for a moment before you post! If you have a point you should just go ahead and make it. Are you saying not to post from Reutors or other way sources with which you disagree with their coverage or what? I thought the article played into the view of the Iraqi regime that we are trying to prepetuate. The only source was "anonymous" US Military commanders.
Maybe you have a list of "approved" wire services you would like to share with the rest of us.

I think that Reuters has the lowest truth factor of any so called news service.
My question is a legitimate one.
Why on Wednesday, three days after the slaughter of our people, are they putting this story out with photos?

Can we get a clue? Seriously, I don't know enough about Reuters to give a guess.
