Funny how that article says "secret military operations" against "Terrorist leaders" not air a random soldier shooting a random arab. It's hard to attack the nest, when you have no clue where the nest is. If you piss off the bees, they'll show you their home.

They aired it because an unarmed injured Iraqi was shot point-blank by a marine. It probably will piss off Muslims, and it probably should. Don't blame the press, blame the marine.

He's not blaming the press for the Marine's mistake.  He's blaming them for highlighting every mistake made by US forces and making every action otherwise look sordid.  

Yet every war crime and shameless tactic used by the enemy somehow falls through the cracks.

What is the big deal? Isn't this the point of war, to kill the enemy? If the Iraqi had a weapon, he would have shot an unarmed Marine. So, it's just. Too fucken bad if you think it's immoral or improper. It's war. People in wars don't act morally correct the whole time. Kill the terrorists, kill the enemy.

Exactly.  People die every day over there, and the point is, I don't care.  It's not my problem.  The marines are doing their job, and Iraqi's do the same.  I don't care if it's not religiously right or not, when you get shoved, shove back.

This is absolutly correct, but the soldier will most likely be court martialed under the UCMJ articles:

899.99 Misbehavior before the enemy
893.93 Cruelty and maltreatment
898.98 Failure to obey order or regulation
913.13 Misbehavior of a sentinal
918.18 Murder - probably not since it is during war
919.119 Manslaughter - probably not since it is during war

It kindof sux, the guy gets shot, loses his friend, gets his revenge and will probably get kicked out of the military.

What war is this? The war on unarmed injured people?

I don't recall the US ever declaring war on the unarmed injured people of the world.

So if they ignore the rules of war, they're terrorists, but if we do it...it's just fighting fair? Great.

"What do you expect to happen in a war,people get shot.
he shoots an unarmed fighter in the head and he dies."

If you get pissed off when someone disagrees with you, don't you think you'd be a bit ticked off if you got shot in the face, whether or not it was a direct hit, and your friend got blown to shit by a booby-trapped body. Like psi said, I'd be a bit on the jumpy side if I saw the same set-up that killed my friend. And like you said, it's a war, people get shot. If one of our soldier were unarmed, walking down the street, would it not be ok for a terrorist to shoot him? I sure as hell know we wouldn't see that on tv, they won't even show us the damned flagged drapped caskets. I don't understand why our media will report one of our soldiers shooting an iraqi for days on end as "breaking news" but when a civilian woman who helped those fuckin pigs for 30 years out of her life gets executed, it only gets a 5 minute spot on today's news. Our media is bullshit, no wonder why troop moral is low and we have so many damned protestors.

My post from the other thread about this.

How did he get injured? Most likely being shot by us or them right? If he was shot by us, then more than likely he had a gun, or was threating the troops in some way correct? Therefore before the fact, he wasn't injured, and he was more than likely the enemey. The point of carrying guns is to kill the enemey, and that's him. The resistance over there is known to booby trap the dead, so checking them can prove to be deadly in the first place.
I, for one, know that if someone was invading my city, I'd pack up and go, unless I had a reason for risking my life, and my house ain't gonna make me stick around and die.

At the time that he was shot point-blank, he no longer had a weapon. So it was kinda like marching into a hospital and picking off a child with cancer.
So why do you conservatives hate children with cancer?

If someone is lieing on the floor injured, with a bullet wound in his arm or leg or whatever, I'm not so worried about him kicking my ass or killing me. Then again, I can totally understand some Top-Gun marine wanting to look good for the cameras, so he wastes a few Iraqis, all in good sport.

Spinless bleeding heart liberal. rolleyes.gif You must cure weak liberalism with strong nationalism. Aren't liberals for euthanasia? How do you know that child with cancer didn't want to die? Why else would he be in the hospital, wasting away, and not out enjoying the last few moments of his life? wink.gif

to be liberal is to be weak?
Then to be conservative you must be stupid...

There is nothing wrong with liberal or conservative and I think you can be both.No one agrees one everything so most people are a little of both.

Why use the word liberal as if it were an insult?

Liberal-

a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.
b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded

Doesnt sound bad to me.

I would have agreed with this point, if you hadn't left out one key point (added in bold above).
The contracted American workers who go over to Iraq, do so knowing their lives are in danger, but not to hurt any Iraqi's. While this certain iraqi did have the intent to kill American soldiers. This Iraqi had been in a fire fight with the soldiers in question ealier, this being the way he recieved his injuries. So the iraqi was armed, is dangerous, and has the intent to kill the soldiers. I would have agreed with the point above, if you hadn't left out that one detail.
