US MARINE EXECUTES SHOT MAN

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

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

WHO CARES? THOSE ARE INSURGENT TOWELHEADS... WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP ON ARGUING ABOUT OUR SOLDIERS "MISTAKES"? INSTEAD OF GIVING THEM THANKS FOR THE EFFORT THEY'VE MADE...

COULD SOMEBODY GIVE THESE CRITICS AND MSM'S FREE TRIP TO FALLUJAH? AND LET THEM SEE THAT AMPUTATED BLONDE?

What Iraqi???

We have a guy pictured standing over a wall taking a shot, and then saying "he's gone".

Hardly enough there to go on. And this from that bastion of Journalist Excellence that brought you this breaking story!

Ghost Hookers Haunt Sex Shop

MARGATE, ENGLAND — The owner of a Kent sex shop on the site of an 1800s brothel says the ghosts of dead prostitutes are wreaking havoc in his store. Almost every morning when workers arrive they find bras and knickers strewn everywhere. "It's like an orgy's taken place," proprietor Alan Butler told journalists. He is reportedly considering calling in a psychic to exorcise the oversexed apparitions. [Sunday Mirror]

Calling Dan RaThEr????

[cpdiii]

Simply a very late term abortion. The liberals should be pleased.

In reality he may have still been a threat or was perceived as a threat in the heat of battle. He was one of those that had been trying to kill our guys and may still have been trying to kill our guys. HE IS DEAD AND THAT IS GOOD.

GOOD JOB!

How come these british writers never question the "morality" of those who behead innocent civilians. They have such great compassion for terrorists trying to murder US troops, it is amazing:

"Labour left-winger Jeremy Corbyn said: "This execution will be remembered by the Iraqi people for generations.

"What does this say about the tactics being used by those who are supposed to be the forces of democracy? We want an immediate investigation."

"world-wide revulsion"

"sickening scene"

"trigger-happy soldier"

"cold-bloodedly"

You can tell so much about the person who wrote the article by the way he/she describes events. I think everyone here can tell this moron is cheering for the terrorists and not for our troops or our nation.

You don't let traitors live amongst you, they will spread their poison like a cancer till it destroys your whole nation.

Give that guy 20 years down the road & he could be our next president - imagine that, a war hero (a REAL ONE, this time!)

THIS IS THE SAME PAPER THAT GOT BUSTED FOR THE FAKE PHOTOS OF BRITISH SOLDIERS URINATING ON A PRISONER.

We should fight a "more sensitive" war. JFK

LOL!

[garyhope]

Is there a problem here? What?

[satchmodog9]

The video was posted on FR a few days ago and the MOD pulled it. It was some lefty website claiming I just saw a US serviceman kill someone in cold blood. I was pissed the mod pulled the thread. It was no big deal. Some dirtbag got what he had coming. The Iraqi was in an enclosed alley and it would have made no sense to send a trooper into a situation where his life would be in peril. Shoot the bastard and get it over with. When the left has a collective testicle drop and grows up enough to realize people get killed in war, I will be long dead.

IMHO this is a story made up to low rate our forces the media hate to see their side get their asses kicked.GO MARINES.

The Mirror is bungwipe...if you have no respect for your backside, anyway.

"If they as much as blink wrong, Kill them all!"

You must be a pacifist if you are going to let them blink before you kill them!

[MHGinTN]

Leave that Soldier the hell alone ... which cowardly leftist reporter went to the other side of the wall to make sure the terrorist filth was disarmed before one of our Soldiers risked his priceless life to 'take the filth into custody'? The bastard press just gave Feckless Kerry a pass for doing the same they now want to hang this Soldier for!The liebral leftist press had better get the hell out of our Soldiers' faces with their liberal, Moorish cameras. They aren't worthy of the dust on the bottom of one American Soldier's boots!

Labour left-winger Jeremy Corbyn said: "This execution will be remembered by the Iraqi people for generations.

I certainly hope it is remembered. The left wingers would do well to reflect on it too. This crap from the socialists is demarcating where they stand in the War on Terror and whom it is they support.

I saw this clip and didn't think anything of it (and still don't) until I read that some people in the UK were apparently upset by it.

What I saw was a clip of a Marine climbing on top of some rubble against a building, with another Marine behind him. The first Marine leans into what looks like a large window, points his gun inside and shoots. They then climb down from the rubble and he says something like "he's done". At no point do you see the insurgent on camera so I have no idea if he was injured or armed. I remember thinking how brave the Marine was to lean into that building.

This all happened after long scenes in which the Marines were ducking a sniper and some were hit.

It's the Mirror.
