This isn't a "few bad apples"

Nothing you can say can change the fact that the marines went in and shot those Iraqis at close range. These innocent Iraqis begged and pleaded and attempted to save their children by shielding them with their bodies and the only one who survived was that little girl.

Haditha is Arabic for My Lai

Afterward, the Marines lied to cover up their actions. The eight helpless men they slaughtered became “insurgents.” The other 15, necessarily “civilians” because of age or sex, they first claimed were also victims of the same IED; later, some were supposed to have been “collateral damage” of a supposed “exchange of gunfire” with said “insurgents.”

Unluckily for them, a journalism student had taken video of the bodies in the Haditha morgue, with images that showed victims shot in the head from close range in execution-style killings.
And all you can say is that the marines are innocent. Well if they are innocent, how did these people die?
 
I've given several sources, the fact that you choose not to read them is not my problem. And the video offers no evidence to refute the eyewitness accounts.




And this is your debate "style" in a nut shell...



Post something outrageous, don't back it up, ignore contradictory evidence, then lie that you did back it up.


Lame

Amazing, you know all this because of something you get from a propaganda site and youtube.

I saw your video and your evidence was not "contradictary".
 
Prove it! :roll:
The video itself showed nothing of the scene in Haditha. All it showed was pictures of these marines and quotes that stated how good of men they were. It didn't show any evidence that refutes what was previously stated. Don't you look at your own video's you post?

And your video showed in contradiction a bullet ridden home (outside) and a supposed eyewitness that has not been confirmed by ANY msm media outlets.

And still you haven't shown any corroborating evidence to back up your objection to that video. If you can't prove it, drop it!

Right just "shut up and believe my propaganda"..... How "open minded" of you.


You are the one who cant prove that video is what it says it is, or do you believe everything you see on tv to?:roll:

The video just asks us to believe in the goodness of these guys. It doesn't show any evidence to refute what is said.
 
This isn't a leftist rant, it is the tip of the iceberg.

And here is the rest of the iceberg. You know, the biggest part that you (especially you, Billo) never see.

I've read your disclaimers, Billo, and they just don't seem sincere. You consistently seem to choose to believe those who wish to do us harm while completely disregarding anything positive. You protest that your motives are pure, but your statements and postings surely don't give that impression. At least, not to me. Perhaps to others who have similar inclinations, logically enough. You give the appearance of being very quick to accept at face value the writings and opinions of anti-US elements, seemingly never giving their motives, their veracity, nor their history any critical assessment at all. At the same time, it seems that anything a supporter of our actions in the GWT, or even an independent definitively unbiased source refutes something said or written by one of your favored sources, it meets with your dismissal, sometimes with quite flimsy pretexts.

You are certainly not a dummy; your more thoughtful posts prove that quite clearly. But your demonstrated intelligence is at odds with your demonstrated inclinations. You can, you should, do better.

Just my impressions. Others may differ.
