US MARINE EXECUTES SHOT MAN
The Sunday Mirror (UK) ^ | Nov 14 2004 | Paul Gilfeather, Political Editor

Posted on 11/14/2004 6:29:14 PM PST by Buckeye Battle Cry

A US marine has sparked world-wide revulsion after being seen shooting an injured and helpless Iraqi.

The sickening scene was broadcast by Channel 4 News after a fire-fight in the rebel stronghold of Fallujah.

The trigger-happy soldier had been asked to get nearer to the injured man.

But instead of trying to capture him, the marine is seen leaning over a wall and cold-bloodedly shooting him.

He then turns to his colleagues and says: "He's gone". Coalition chiefs were last night under pressure to investigate the incident

The only good terrorist savage beast is a dead terrorist savage beast

I may be wrong here... but I don't think we have so many people in the military who learned Arabic to interview dead terrorists.

And despite all their talk it probably doesn't take too much to break these men either.

I have seen the video and the description in this article is a bunch of hogwash.

- wounded Iraqi being shot. This is what war is - ugly adn brutal. Libs watching from the confort of their homes may question their judgment, but not me. Go get 'em boys and bless our troops.

exactly... time to pull the plug on these self-righteous liberal hand-wringing wanker smokers and let the adults get down to the dirty work of securing their freedom. Marine kills islamofascist thug... big f'ing deal. This belongs in the Good News section of tomorrow's Church of the Painful Truth Gazette.

I'm surprised the ACLU isn't involved in calling this an example of the need to read insurgents their rights before armed action is taken. This poor Iraqi didn't know he was about to be shot because he received no warning of his rights and the consequences that might result. Another example of our brutal military killing ill informed civilians only trying to protect their property. After all, was this Iraqi in a uniform. If he wasn't we must assume he was a civilian.

For every American/Allied they kill we should take out 100!

The only thing the islamists know is death and cruelty.

I wish we had a couple of million who fought in WWII here including General Patton to tell these limp wristed pusses to stuff their embedded reporting up their clintons.

How come these nincompoops had no problem with Kerry running after a wounded VC and killing him?

The terrorists came to play. They killed innocents with glee. They chose not to play by any civilized rules. They could have chosen a nice safe peaceful existance. They could have developed a political opposition and participated in the elections. Instead they chose the path of a martyr. They chose to take as many U.S. troops out as they could, before they died. Well, I have not a single morsel of empathy for this c----sucker or any of his fellow martyrs.

As for any terrorist prisoners, just line em up as far as I am concerned.

We're dealing with Godless merciless scoundrels. This guy got what he deserved, and so should they.

Look at the torture chambers, slaughterhouses, beheadings, car bombings... this is what those jackasses do. Sympathy? Rules of Hoyle? "H" "E" double "L" no! Take the gloves off and play hardball!

George W. Bush made the soldier shoot the man! John Kerry had a "plan" that would have spared the enemy soldier.

None of us can judge that brave American soldier. His life was in jeopardy and he was in a battle zone!

If we were using an effective round, like the .308, a second shot would not be needed.

sparked world-wide revulsion

Exactly where is this purported world-wide revulsion? Oh, that's right: It doesn't exist yet - hence this article. There was nothing in that video to suggest an execution - besides the theory, asserted as fact by the author, that the Marine did something wrong.

I saw the video, and my only reaction is "Huh?"

I honestly don't see how a sane person gets from the video to the claims in this article. This isn't a matter of bias, or even of lying; the only sensible conclusion is that the re-election of the President has driven the entire staff of The Mirror quite mad.

I do know that these guys have "pretend surrendered" then whipped out a weapon on many occasions

One thing the left does not like to announce in their cheerful death list of US soldiers.
