"The insurgents were hiding in there with the kids."

[no_to_war_economy]

The father of a U.S. Marine killed by a roadside bomb in western Iraq in November believes his son's comrades did nothing wrong despite a criminal investigation into events that left more than 20 Iraqi civilians dead, including women and children.

"It's very hard for me, I don't even listen to the news," Martin Terrazas said of reports of the mass killings in Haditha, in Iraq's Anbar province. "The insurgents were hiding in there with the kids."

1. So killing kids goes a long way toward building America's image?

Very counterproductive to say the least.

One bad deed nullifys a thousand good ones.

3. Beware of toddler insurgents...

I guess there's your justification for shooting UNARMED civilians at close range in the head. Unbelievable.

4. And this guy is hiding his head in the sand!

Sadly, blind and overcome with grief, he's obviously taking the official Pentagon stance & spin...As he said, he doesn't read the papers, and apparently does no research on his own?

Is he being used by this administration to make unfounded statements...This is how this sick, lying, cover your ass at all cost administration operates...They don't care who they use...Just as long as they put the blame on someone else...these evil fucks don't give a shit about people or soldiers...their goal is controlling the oil fields...

And so many dumb fucks still don't want to look at the obvious truths...The sheep will repeat the same shit they hear on Fox & Limbaugh and recite it like robots..."The president is trying to protect us from terrorist"...Pitiful disgusting zombies!

5. Even where only women and children were found? n/t

6. And your son was part of a convoy of occupying forces

See, we can apply justifications to any senseless death, can't we? Doesn't stop the bloodshed, though, does it. Justify indiscriminate death and it only leads to more indiscrimate death...with justifications from the other side.

When the fuck does the human race grow out of its bloody minded, self-righteous superiority complex -- that's the question.

7. Then you don't destroy the fuking building

Are we going anywhere? We can't wait for the insurgents to relocate? Killing the enemy is not a victory if you have to kill innocents to do it. This has to stop. November 2006 somebody better do something. After that I aim to misbehave. Fuck you agent Mike.
