On another note, today, I read that the usual "cast of characters" is trying to sue the US via Germany over Abu Ghraib. Riiiight. Like Germany has some real clout, huh?Aliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811768631985140312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042316.post-1100817539540377682004-11-18T14:38:00.000-08:002004-11-18T14:38:00.000-08:00As to Bob's comments: I'm with you!

But then, if I were, I'd be having to follow orders, and given how these low-life scum, lying, bastard, murderous pig-snot so-called "insurgents" play.. Well. ahem. Takes an awfully disciplined soldier to not start cutting off the heads and limbs of these rats who love being called "freedom fighters" by the clueless in America, UK, and elsewhere around the world. I think our Marine is going to be okay. He did the right thing. And it appears he played by the rules of engagement.Aliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811768631985140312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042316.post-1100817318989607472004-11-18T14:35:00.000-08:002004-11-18T14:35:00.000-08:00You are right, Rastus -- this Marine doesn't deser...You are right, Rastus -- this Marine doesn't deserve this. You probably already caught the "data" that Sites (the photo-journalist) is clearly anti-war. Here's my thoughts: I don't want the Marine to catch flak; and this Marine did the RIGHT THING. What he did, kinda stirs me up, ya'know? :)Aliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811768631985140312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042316.post-1100716289607268012004-11-17T10:31:00.000-08:002004-11-17T10:31:00.000-08:00Perhaps the most interesting observation is that, ...Perhaps the most interesting observation is that, simultaneously, Islamo-militants executed Margaret Hassan, the British aid worker and long time Iraqi resident. <br /><br />Such a contrast. An American soldier on the battlefield killing a known enemy combatant vs the senseless murder of a woman dedicated to humanitarian aid. Yet which gets more attention from the "blame America first" MSM?<br /><br />Their choice of perspective never ceases to amaze me.<br /><br />Obviously the MSM has learned something, albeit little, from the 2004 Presidential elections. While they still attempt to bash the US with their focus, they recognize they are less relevant than they thought. So they temper their flogging of the US military actions with a possibility that the soldier's act *could* have been self-defense instead of a war crime.<br /><br />Well the misguided talking heads aren't fooling me. I can still tell, by their news coverage, that they think America is wrong, and the terrorists are right in saying we shouldn't be there.<br /><br />BTW, I was surfing talk radio and heard that Michael Savage was planning on putting together a drive to fund any defense for the soldier. As usual, it will have to be the American public to put the media in it's place by leaping to the soldier's defense.MataHarleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201059375849537682noreply@blogger.com
