What's coming out of the UK is troops standing side by side with the American troops getting killed the same as American troops.
OK...what about that latest BBC report accusing US troops of killing innocent civilians?
Give me a break!
What about all the crap from the WAPO, the NYTimes, the LATimes etc., etc., etc., Those and the BBC are from the same schools of propaganda. Come to think of it so's The Scotsman.
But the beginning comment was about what if there was no America...what would happen to the rest of the world. My comment was it would become uncivilized. If my history is correct it was the GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE...that civilized the world. But what about today?
Don't take me wrong my family is from England and Scotland, in fact, one of my great grandmothers was cousin to Queen Victoria...so I love the UK...it's just today's environment that sucks...worldwide...
This disrespect for this fine man and CIC is not needed nor appropriate - With that said, while it is not his place to declare any specific Marine innocent at this time....he very well should be out there touting the bravery and dedication of our warriors in the field.
He should be boasting of the incredible sacrifices and risks our warriors are taking each and every day. He should be touting to the world and our warriors what they mean to this Country and how he stands behind them 100%.
Without question he should be doing the above (and the notion that ethic type courses need to be taught to our warriors is a slap in the face to each and every one of them...and is flat out wrong!) - The notion that as CIC he agreed on to this foolish motion pisses me off.
"Until then, the military insisted the civilians in Haditha had been killed by a roadside bomb."
Now they've come right out and declared their IQ for the whole world to see.
I can't believe the White House is so media-driven. Every time this BS comes out, they commission a blue-ribbon presidential commission, essentially convict them then and there, and promise that heads will roll. So much for handling matters in-house and at the lowest appropriate level.
Thanks for the ping!
Please call the traitors at AP and show them who they really are: Liars and Traitors.
Just got back; will do it tomorrow. :-)
Now how many innocent civilians, women, children, puppy dogs are the terrorists killing in IRAQ per day?
Oh wait... Those civilians don't count.
More proof tonight on Hannity & Stupid (Colmes). Colmes was in New Orleans with Howard Dean. Howie was shown pushing a wheelbarrow, dressed in the white outfit of the real workers. When he and Colmes talked, Howie was complaining that the damage from Katrina isn't cleaned up yet. Then the great Howie said that if Clinton was president it would all be cleaned up by now but because of Bush and awful FEMA (which he said was run spectacularly under Clinton, my translation of his words)it's not done yet. HE MAKES ME ILL, and Alan Colmes was a joke as usual, even in denim jeans, he looked like a total idiot. Cracks me up when Alan tries to do a story on location like Hannity does and he always looks like the idiot he is, and I am being kind with my choice of words here!
Would Muslims lie in order to obtain blood money payments? Some insight comes (from) a Baghdad-based US contractor.
"I’ve been in Iraq for about 18 months now performing construction management. It is simply not possible for me to exaggerate the massive amounts of lies we wade through every single day. There is no way - absolutely none - to determine facts from bulls*** from these people.
"To be fair to individual Iraqis, lying and deception is an integral part of their culture. It is not even considered lying to them; it is more akin to being clever - like keeping your cards close to your chest. And they don’t just lie to westerners. They believe that appearances--saving face--are of paramount importance. They lie to each other all the time about anything in order to leverage others on a deal or manipulate an outcome of some sort or cover up some major or minor embarrassment. It’s just how they do things, period.
"I’m not trying to disparage them here. I get along great with a lot of them. But even among those that I like, if something happens I’ll get 50 wildly different stories, every time. There’s no comparison to it in any other part of the world where I’ve worked. The lying is ubiquitous and constant.
Obviously in the case of these soldiers (the British "massacre" trial that collapsed), the “witnesses” were lying with malice for profit - saving face had nothing to do with it.
But every Westerner here has been taken totally by surprise by the lies upon lies upon BS and lies. It makes it impossible to form any agreements, impossible to plan anything, and impossible to investigate anything.
BTTT
Better yet, just have about fifty UAVs on patrol in the sky loaded with flourescent paintballs tagging the terrorists at 1,000 feet for pick up by the iraqi police.
Better yet, just have about fifty UAVs on patrol in the sky loaded with .50cals tagging the terrorists at 1,000 feet for pick up by the iraqi coroner.
That's better.
Judge,Juror,Executioner Murtha is deeply disturbed
Do U.S. troops need more training in ethics and values?
This is always a good idea.
Yes, because it's clear there have been problems.
No, this is already part of their training.
No, they should just focus on accomplishing their
missions."
Looks like the poll is split as evenly as the vote for president
My guess is liberals vote "always a good idea"
I voted "no, kill the enemy"
"Better yet, just have about fifty UAVs on patrol in the sky loaded with .50cals tagging the terrorists at 1,000 feet for pick up by the iraqi coroner.
That's better."
Better yet, just have one UAV on patrol in the sky loaded with on plutonium strategic weapon and tag the "triangle" at 100,000 feet for pick up by the...by the...well, we may have to wait a few centuries for anything to get picked up.
That's best.
