Iraqi police report details civilians’ deaths at hands of U.S. troops
Did Marines Commit Crime in Iraq Civilian Deaths?:
There are a ton of blogs picking up on this story–not the one you blogged about but the one in the comment section. All of them have the same response–that the soldiers should be sevearly punished so that others will be too afraid of doing it.
I sa ‘go for it’ because thats just what the guys were doing themselves—you let some insurgent plant a massive bomb in plain sight–then you deserve to get maximum punishment too. What the news isnt carrying is that everyone around KNEW it was going to blow…they all ran for cover. So, yea–they are all now insurgents themselves and deserve to be hunted down.
including their children. I bet no-one in that town ever tries bombing another convoy–they have no idea it their house will be the next one eliminated!
marine — “including their children.”
What a dumb fuck.
I can send you 16 pictures of victims.
What wounderful justice,law
