Petition In Support Of Fallujah Marine! SIGN IT. SEND IT! PASS IT!!
http://www.petitiononline.com/as123/petition.html ^

Posted on 11/16/2004 9:36:50 PM PST by InfantryMarine

To: U.S. Congress Friday November 12 2004

U.S.Marines were fired upon by snipers and insurgents armed with rocket-propelled grenades from a mosque and an adjacent building. The Marines returned fire with tank shells and machine guns.

They eventually stormed the mosque, killing 10 insurgents and wounding five others, and showing a cache of rifles and grenades for journalists.

The Marines told the pool reporter that the wounded insurgents would be left behind for others to pick up and move to the rear for treatment. But Saturday, another squad of Marines found that the mosque had been reoccupied by insurgents and attacked it again.

Four of the insurgents appeared to have been shot again in Saturday's fighting, and one of them appeared to be dead, according to the pool report. In the video, a Marine was seen noticing that one of the insurgents appeared to be breathing.

I'm on board.

John Kerry received the Silver Star for effectively engaging in the same behavior.

Give the Marine a medal and a 30 day leave.

Give Kevin Sites a knuckle sandwich.

I don't necessarily agree with the wording regarding "honorable discharge". . . unless his term of enlistment is up and he decides to return to civilian life (where we'd be glad to have him and all the rest like him).

But I've signed the petition anyway.

When told by the pool reporter that the men were among those wounded in Friday's firefight, the Marine who fired the shot said, "I didn't know, sir. I didn't know."

Positive proof the inbred reporter knew but didn't tell the Marines of the previous situation. Can there not be charges brought against the reporter for withholding crucial info? Why is the inbred reporter not being held with equal responsibility for the Iraqi's death? Just because he didn't pull the trigger, is the inbred any less responsible?
