The difference, of course, is that one of us is actually familiar with combat.

"Danger is part of the friction of war. Without an accurate conception of danger we cannot understand war." - Karl von Clauswitz, On War, 1832.

Clauswitz Quoted.

Ms. Herd is incapable of understanding war.

I like your note to Ms. Heard. Short, sweet, and to the point...

Thanks. :-) Amazingly, Ms. Heard has not responded to my message (here and via direct E-mail to her), and she is apparently passing on the opportunity to interview a war-mongering cretin like me.

I think those people know, deep down, how very wrong they are. But they've become such greedy, headline hams, that nothing is beneath them...

An excellent idea.

I hope my comments were among those in 119 that you found especially disturbing. Trust me, the feeling is mutual.

I hope one of mine was offensive to Ms. Heard, too.

I hope it was one of those posts where I refer to the media as a bunch of Marxist, cappuccino-drinking, loafer-wearing, lying, distorting, leftist-agenda-driven weinies who hang out in the bar of the Palestine Hotel making stuff up or getting their misinformation from that bitter, pusilanimous pismire Jack Murtha.

I hope it was one of those posts.

Unfortunately I doubt your post was one of the ones Ms. Heard found especially offensive. She likely skipped right over it.

You used too many big words!! :-D

The fact that this murdering troop has the support of even those 119 posters is worrisome.

No rush to judgement here (since the investigation is still ongoing). If these troops actually killed all these innocents in cold blood, well, I'm sure they'll get what they deserve.

Military personnel should act as ambassadors for their country

I suppose that means we should have a formal tea with the insurgents before killing them?

To: concrete is my business

You have hit the nail on the head here, concrete is my business.

Ms. Heard - I missed Coop's original post (things move fast around here) so please add my name to those 119 who support our troops, through thick or thin, for better or for worse.

Oh, and just for the record, Jack Murtha is a disgrace. So are you.

Cheers - Dinah

>"according to the geneva convention, if you are a non uniformed combatant, or are housing a non uniformed combatant, said combatant and people or persons housing them are not offered geneva convention protections, and as such can be shot on sight."

Bingo!!!! Unarmed military support personel!

Of course in the slammy slimey book of war aka the queeranus, anyone not of the same dialect of satan whoreship as yourself is a legit target for assasination!

Ms. Heard, I have come to consider women and children, and civilians on general as legitimate targets of war. I have come to that opinion since our opponent in the War in Iraq and the more general War on Terror are of this opinion as well.

Fight fire, with fire.

Good post Coop. A lot of leftist trash is starting to presume that our soldiers and Marines are guilty before a full review of the evidence and a trial.

It's also highly irresponsible the way the AP and other leftist media are assuming so much credibility in allegations of US misconduct by people in the Sunni provinces of western Iraq. The Sunnis and former Baathists are the heart of the Iraqi insurgency. The Sunnis were the dominant minority under Saddam and they don't want to give up minority rule to the majority rule of a new democracy. That's why they're fighting this insurgency. So of course people in the Sunni provinces have a (barely) hidden agenda to do anything they can to push the US military out of Iraq so that the Sunnis can try to take power again and reinstall minority rule. That includes making false allegations in an attempt to undermine support for the Iraq war in the US. Therefore nothing that people say about the US military in the Sunni provinces can be assumed to be true. Instead, the media should assume that allegations against the US military made in the Sunni provinces are false until such allegations are proven true.

Once again, the AP is proving itself to be the de facto propaganda agency for the DNC and leftists throughout the western world. Very rarely does the AP report on the mass murder of civilians by Saddam's government or the ways in which life has improved in Iraq since Saddam was removed from power. Very rarely does the AP report on the bravery and heroism of US troops in Iraq. The lack of balance and fairness in AP reporting on Iraq is disgraceful.

nobody should defend the indefensible based on some false notion of patriotism.

Nobody should assume the guilt of troops based upon the reports from those organizations who oppose the U.S. in general either.

In short, people who glorify soldiers who purposefully assassinate women and small children...

Nobody he said that or believes that.

Heard is just one of those America haters that can't wait to call our troops babykillers. She's probably getting wet just thiking about it.
