This guy Sites is a friggin' liar. You can hear on the video tape that all he said was, "These are the same guys from yesterday."
He did not say, "...they have been disarmed, treated and left here." Perhaps if he had, the shooting might not have happened.
Plus, he knows damn right well why he is being seen as an anti-war activist. He knows and we know.
What conceivable difference would that make anyway? Yesterday was yesterday, and nothing could have prevented them from being resupplied or even involuntarily being boobytrapped with IEDs today.
Does Sites seriously believe the jihadis wouldn't boobytrap their own? If so, his "5 years in combat" has taught him nothing.
I think that he has likely been lurking on FR threads concerning this incident. Possibly other sites as well. That and the E-mails he is getting likely prompted this.
That Marine acted properly, and even though I was not in the same room, it is still quite evident. It is exactly untrue that this person Sites was not looking to capitalize on this "incident."
I get up after a beat and tell the Marines again, what I had told the lieutenant -- that this man -- all of these wounded men -- were the same ones from yesterday. That they had been disarmed treated and left here.
