Two other men in the video appear to be suffering from what NBC called fresh and fatal gunshot wounds.

Amazing that NBC can make this judgement based on that video.

"The footage, aired repeatedly on Arabic television, has sparked argument across the Arab world, with most saying it fuels anger against America."

Correct me if I am wrong but, the same Arabic television refuses to air the hostage execution videos???

Yes, We'll deal with this Marine. We'll decorate him with a medal for taking care of his fireteam and fellow Marines & Corpsmen!

Looks like the Bush Administration is going to sacrafice the Marine, that will be great for our boys moral won't it.

I can not think of any commander worth a damn that would not defend the actions of his troops in the field. The US has been blessed with the finest fighting men the world has ever known. Great troops, should have great commanders, our troops deserve better leadership then the draft dodging, PC wimps leading them today.

I wonder if the fact that most of the DC leadership, ran and hid when it was their turn to fight for the nation, is the reason these cowards hide when BS charges like the current one is made against our troops.

Bush sucks, he just really sucks as a Commander in Cheif and as a president, I voted for him because the thought of Kerry apointing judges terrified me. But Bush should be ashamed of his performance as Commander in Cheif. Defending this young Marine agaist the enemies of the nation should be a high priority for a Commander, but where is Bush? Hiding behind Carl Roves skirt?

So it would have been better for the Marine to have been shot than the Iraqi.

I guess our soldiers are just expendible to some people.

Here's a very good reason for doing just what the Marine did the other day:

"Marine Lance Cpl. Jeramy Ailes, 22, of Gilroy was killed Monday in Al-Fallujah by small arms fire. "They had finished mopping up in Fallujah and they went back to double-check on some insurgents. From what we gathered, somebody playing possum jumped up and shot him,'' said his father, Joel Ailes, who learned of his death Monday evening. "It's extremely hard." "

Maybe what "we'll deal with Marine"...is actually code for "we'll take care of our own" a.k.a. "we're not gonna fry him for this" as a way to shield him from what the anti-U.S. folks would like to do to him.

Negraponte ain't the SECDEF! Stae Dept, stay the hell out of it. We would have been done with Fallujah 6 months ago if it wasn't for your hand wringing.
