"You need to get a clue, my friend."
I have a clue, the clue I have says I don't really care how many of these people we kill. And even if we kills some innocent ones, I still don't care. I'll start to care when we start targeting and killing innocent people on purpose. The first time we run a car off the road and pump bullets into a pregnant Muslim women and her four daughters then I will become anti-war.
But not until then.
Joe, your impeaching Bush posts are getting old..he had authorization to do so...No, it wasn't a formal declaration of war,but he did go and get approval to proceed from the Congress and the Senate.
It isn't Constitutional in your view, but the Congress would not impeach a President for doing what they authorized him to do..
Trust the military, especially during the war.
1. "About a dozen bodies, one without a head, could be clearly seen"These people aren't stupid. They know that the pictures are doing damage to American opinion. There is no way they can beat us, only we can beat ourselves.
Hmm...this seems like the natural extension of the damage that Abu Ghraib has had. The logic: "If panties on heads does that much damage to PR, then how about a headless body". Hmm, if Nick Berg were only an "innocent" Iraqi, not an innocent American, we might have seen that on the news.
Of course, Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton, and company are happy to obliged the terrorists and fuel their fire further. Someone needs to tell these F*****G IDIOTS to shut their pieholes!
And this AP "reporter" (along with all of the other terrorist sycophants) need to take their pens and stick 'em where the Sun don't shine.
Took them only a few days to piece this story together. Not bad.
My view is that of the Framers of the Constitution. I'm always amazed how many conservatives are quick to stash their principles away when it comes to clinging on to power.
I went through this with Nixon, watching the Republican Party and the conservative movement cling loyally to a man who had betrayed and undermined their every principle, as a man who never deserved our trust took us down in flames. It took us six years to recover.
We may not be the Stupid Party, but we are the Gullible Party.
I don't trust the military to always hit the right people, I know innocents are killed in war...I do know the amount of propaganda coming out of the ME often isn't trustworthy and must be verified. It could have been a wedding at a terror hideout.
If we make an error we have many times owned up to it,paid reparations and said we regretted it.
Those who say we could not make a mistake are mistaken..Those who assume we were wrong before seeing all the evidence are wrong,too. Blame America First gets old.
So lemme get this straight....the camera man was killed but somehow the VIDEO survived....yeahhhhhh....sure
I hope our timing wasn't dreadfully off...
You are fantasizing that Bush could or should be impeached. You don't like the war.
Good God, man, get a hold of yourself.
The Pali's have been known to make videos of alleged attacks, etc. Maybe they helped in the making of this video.
Interesting point. If Iraqi pro photographers are anything like Westerners (as they probably are - human nature and gadget freaks as people are), his first thought during the attack would have been to grab his camera and start filming - "Once in a lifetime opportunity" for footage. Perverse maybe - but that is how photogs think.
The lack of film is a bit odd.
If AP cannot back this story up with hard facts they should be disbanded. This article is pure bias - "oh my poor baby" - no mentions of weapons, passports, etc.

This reminds me of the "video" of the Iraqi arsenal we bombed back in the '90s, the one with the signs that said "Baby Milk Factory" - - in English.
See my post at #15. You'll get your investigation, but it was not animal smugglers. It was weapons.
It was a "Rat line".
...Propaganda? I think I'm reading and listening to wwwway too much news. But, If I stop now, I won't know if this is true or false. I'm getting more jaded, minute by minute...
yeah, a lot here tend to immediatley assume that this is a lie, but i realise that we do make mistakes and we need to be realistic when the possibility of one occurs. if you knee-jerk deny everything, its much worse when one of them turns out to be true. its better to take each event seriously and allow it to be proved, disproved by the facts in turn.
from what ive read and seen on tv, these may or may not be weapons/livestock smugglers but they probably had a wedding and some famous bagdhadi wedding singer was killed.
but of course i dont know for sure, it might be some nice propaganda work.
Why not? If the bullet hit the camera-men and not the camera?
