A US marine has sparked world-wide revulsion after being seen shooting an injured and helpless Iraqi.
The sickening scene was broadcast by Channel 4 News after a fire-fight in the rebel stronghold of Fallujah.
The trigger-happy soldier had been asked to get nearer to the injured man.
But instead of trying to capture him, the marine is seen leaning over a wall and cold-bloodedly shooting him.
He then turns to his colleagues and says: "He's gone". Coalition chiefs were last night under pressure to investigate the incident
Yea, I think the closest this "reporter" ever came to combat before this, was with a deck of cards.
He might have watched the great war comedy Apolcolypse Now.
Funny, I'm is no way offended. Good for the Marine!
I'm sick of this. The mainstream media need to get their priorities straight. Show us the pictures of the blonde woman who was mutilated and disemboweled. We need to see what they plan for us, instead of rumors about a single killing of an "insurgent" who deserved "mercy".
To American Soldiers:
"Kill Them Before They Kill You!"
Late term abortion? (grin)
Didn't John Kerry get a medal for doing the same thing?
I don't see a problem. Good Job Soldiers! Stay Safe!
You are absolutely correct, shot him in the back no less. Good point
No quarter for jihadis!
I saw that video clip.
The laconic "He's done" was the best part.
No, spitballs.
Shoot the reporter and his photographer.
They should get the embedded reporters out of this war. They are trying to hamstring our troops.
Good video link. Shows the story isn't really what the Mirror says it is.
The Mirror also asked the front page question "How can 59 million people be so dumb?"
The blood gets up in a firefight. Fecal matter occurs and people die. Odds are, the late Iraqi had been shooting at that Marine just a short time before. Such actions do not evince good feelings on the part of the folks on the receiving in of incoming fire.
Last nite on the lamestream they showed a picture of the Fallujah bridge where Americans were hanging, mutilated and burnt. They had the bodies blacked out. Bastards.
I certainly don't want to minimize what this Marine had to do, and don't mean to disrespect him in anyway, but I keep thinking of the faces of the traitorous MSM if this Marine would have turned and said "he's dead Jim".
