Fallujah Marine in Trouble for Pulling a Kerry

The television press was awash Monday night with video of a U.S. Marine entering a Fallujah terrorist nest filled with dead snipers, who moments earlier were shooting at his unit.

Upon discovering that one of the snipers is still breathing, the Marine shouts a warning to his buddies, the screen goes dark and a gunshot his heard - suggesting the Marine finished off the wounded terrorist.

Iraq war critics are already salivating at the prospects of another Abu Ghraib-like military fiasco.



Not so fast, say the folks at FreeRepublic.com, who point out that John Kerry got a Silver Star with Combat V [for valor] for committing the same sort of "atrocity."

In fact, the Feb. 1969 incident was considered by Kerry supporters to be his finest hour.

Patrolling the Bay Hap River, Kerry and his crew discovered they were about to be ambushed by a Vietcong soldier who had just popped up at the shoreline with a loaded rocket launcher in his hands. With the VC about to fire, Kerry crewmate Thomas Bellodeau shot and wounded the attacker, saving the entire boat.

Only then did Kerry leap to the shore to chase the wounded enemy down - finishing him off behind a hootch.

When critics suggested that Kerry actions that day were something less than heroic, they were hooted down by the press.

Certainly the as yet unnamed Marine in Fallujah deserves, if not the Silver Star, the same slack the press cut Kerry.

Same "left-wing" media that won't challenge Shrub's stolen election(s)??

:finger:

So you think Kerry really won the election. You should get therapy.

This is such a JOKE. The things the RIGHT WING media decides to get all indignate about. This one falls right in there with Cheneys daughter being a lesbian. We'll hear about this all week while many more important things go unreported. Another smoke screen.

61 U.S. soldiers died last weekend in Fallujah, where is the reporting on that.
You have to ask yourself who benefits from promoting an Iraqi getting shot over U.S. casulties.

Jinn:

no kidding ... Cheney & his wife in Davenport, IA freely talking about their Lesbian daughter ... Kerry brings it up in the debate and became HUGE ISSUE??? ... yet 10 yrs earlier Bush was spreading rumors about Anne Richards being a Lesbian in the 94 Gov race in Texas

 

[cussin'it]

So you think Kerry really won the election. You should get therapy.

You really are that goddam deluded to think that your boy didn't pull fast ones in Ohio and Florida, New Mexico, New Hampshire. For Christ sake moron, it isn't rocket science.
Its simple, hack the vote and toss the spoiled ballots out (making sure most of your spoiled ballots come from heavily black precincts)

Stepford wife.

Cussin your dillusional.

 

[xpanda]

Hmm. So if you fall into the camp that says killing, rather than capturing a wounded attacker as Geneva compels, then you must be a right winger?

War is hell. Sometimes a soldier can be putting his life in great danger by trying to take a prisoner. Why should that Marine risk his life to save that insurgent who moments before was trying to kill him and his fellow Marines? Our boys (and girls) are NOT going to go over there and fight with one hand tied around their balls (or vulva), just to appease the liberals. Especially against a foe such as this, who have summarily executed a busload of unarmed Iraqis, in addition to the beheadings. They deserve no mercy and no quarter. Draw and quarter is what they deserve.

Cussin:

Good for you both. You can get a room together over at the local looney bin. Use a condom.

Did you guys ever shut your mouths long enough to think that maybe the liberals didn't have the overwhelming widespread appeal they thought they had? The Dems were faked out gentlemen. They deceived themselves.

 

[RobFunk]

liberals rule! we are the men amoung boys. we show no fear.

I read up on the true political definition of the word. and how can you down a liberal. he wants to help others who are down.

 

[petre]

american is right, we'ze never wrong whatever be dun

 

[American]

liberals rule! we are the men amoung boys. we show no fear.

That's great you have such high self-esteem. Congratulations, you should be proud of yourselves. Still not good at winning elections though. But does it really matter?

 

[RobFunk]

yea but american youre on the side that has boys dying over seas against the make shift bomb kids. you support a free iraq when either way does nothing for america.

you support the side that shows record job loss you will and grace homaphobe.

you support the cut back of high school education to keep feeding the rich

american, you dont have a single thing you can point to on the right to be happy about. lmfao @ you and the right. boys killed over seas for nothing. record job loss. bush put america in a position to have opium smoking china be #1 as the top super power. will and grace on every week. the *** administartion sees some of its best talent in powell not want to be a part of this side show. kids in school dumber than ever becuase of the lack of funding for better schooling. what a paranoid queer you are.

2% margin of victory. you victimized the stupid and religous ignorant. you casted a ballot while simultaionsly, fags were getting their paper and over 10 babys got laid to waste in america just as you hit that button. you said yeah, i want more of this.

thats my biggest problem with conservatives. they claim as such but their people do not show this action at all. youre all cheerleaders and nothing else.

i can laugh at the right all day. even i live in mass i can laugh that much harder. eek said it best "its your funeral"

That's great you have such high self-esteem. Congratulations, you should be proud of yourselves. Still not good at winning elections though. But does it really matter?

Yeah, especially when you lose by 500,000 (2000) and yet steal it because of seditious action.
Winning, losing, or split; that doesn't affect how us libs/demo's view the individual in respect to the "state"

You seem to value the individual very little in deference to your precious "state"
That's fine, it's your choice.
What's equally fine is my choice to place greater value on people then the "state"

That depends on the individual. You, as an individual, are beginning to suck with your election fraud conspiracy theories. Move on. There are far easier targets for you libs to go after.

Recounts are being inititated as we speak by mayor non-partisan organizations.

Clearly when you purposely allow a shortage of voting machines in predominantly black/minority precincts with huge populations, yet have more machines in much smaller, heavily republican precincts,
then as the old saying goes if it looks and smells like a rat, then it most likely is a rat.

Do we fail to recognize the FACT that the Sec of State in Ohio is an ambitious Rep. party hack, and Diebold was on record as saying months before the election that they would ensure a "Shrub victory" in Ohio.
Diebold, huge partisian and contributor to the Repub. party. Maker of the very machines that provide for fairly easy fraud?

You really are that stupid and incapable of critical/independent thought aren't you. Stepford beotch.

While I understand what you're saying (note, too, that it was reported that the batallion to which these marines belong had lost one of theirs the day before due to a boobytrapped dead insurgent) the important thing here to remember is simply this: the Geneva convention exists not only to protect the enemies of American soldiers, but American soldiers themselves. I believe it was John McCain during the 9/11 Commission hearings, upon learning of Abu Ghraib, who shred his outrage by explaining that when an American soldier defies Geneva he unfailingly puts his fellow soldiers at risk for abuse in detention.

But most important, American, is that increasing anti-Americanism in Iraq stands a greater chance of increasing, rather than decreasing, the number of insurgents. Since the US is not exactly known for its strong guerilla skills, nor are your reserve numbers terribly high, it seems obvious that behaviour like this isn't helping. At the very least, they should turn their bloody cameras off.

just say Kerry on the noon news. his first interview since the election.

skipping to the last question "whats next for jhon kerry"

he said "well, if the president is going to have an idealogical agenda , then there will be some tough fights over the next months."
