"For all you whiners who are blaming Bush for what this Marine did.(Just like you blame Bush for everything that happens on this earth!)

Every man is responsible for his own actions, and every man also has a choice to join the military and serve his country as well."

Have you joined the military yet?

I know you keep claiming that you have, but then, you also claimed that your wife was in the military and that she was pregnant.

Were you lying then?

Anyway, I think that you have made a wise shift of tactics, by delaring jihad against the jihadists that wage jihad against your jihad.

Good thinking.

"I do not condone the actions of this Marine one bit as it is totally wrong and inhumane, but I'd sure like to know what you think of the radical Islamic jihadists who are blowing people up every day should be sentenced to."


Sounds to me like you condone the murder of innocent Iraqis, regardless of what you have said above.

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks of "radical Islamic jihadist" murderers.

Answer this:

Do you support the murder of innocent Iraqis by Americans in uniform.

I've been doing quite a bit of reading recently, books by soldiers who have served in Iraq.

Some of these books detail horrendous crimes against Iraqi civilians - including the murder of children as young as 10, the murder of Iraqi adults (men and women), the beating of civilians (men, women and children), in many cases for no other reasons except they were Iraqis, looting, stealing money and jewelery from Iraqis as well as causing unnecessary destruction while conducting house searches - house searches that revealed nothing.

At one point, soldiers played soccer with the decapitated heads of Iraqis.

These crimes against Iraqis began occurring shortly after the invasion of Iraq - prior to any resistance that formed to fight back against the American "occupiers".

These are crimes that we don't want to hear about - that we don't think could be committed by decent Americans - but they did happen, and they continue to happen.

Bush through his lies and deception has turned good, honest Americans into murderers, rapists, thieves and criminals.

I'm not too sure about you, but if someone - anyone - invaded my country and raided my house, abused my family, destroyed my furniture and desecrated my belongings, or killed my family members, I wouldn't be too happy - and I would fight back.

Bush has done enough damage in Iraq.

Switching Sides: Inside The Enemy Camp

But then in 2000, well before his arrest, something happened which would make Abas question everything he believed in: a fatwa, a religious edict, was issued by Osama bin Laden.

"It should be understood that killing Americans and Jews anywhere found are the highest act of worship and the highest form of good deeds in the eyes of Allah," Simon quotes bin Laden.

Abas and his fellow commanders were ordered to read the fatwa to their men and make sure they carried it out. The others obeyed, but Abas refused. It was his moment of truth. He firmly believed that jihad was to be fought only on the battlefield in defense of Islam; he had always been taught that the killing of civilians had nothing to do with holy war and that it was forbidden.

The fatwa justified killing non-Muslim civilians everywhere.

j-whitman,

Re: "Isn't this starting to look a lot like Saigon before we left ??"

I am not that familiar with the conditions surrounding that period, but there do seem to be similarities.

Not to worry though. Cheney says that we are turning the corner.

j-whitman,

Re: "He's Failed Our Nation Again"

I would have to disagree with this. The Bush regime is in the midst of actively attacking the people of the U.S. and the world, for their own gain.

I don't think that their plans are a failure. I think that they have been very successful in the eyes of those whom they serve.

For example, the "surge" is designed to prolong the illegal war against Iraq, in my opinion. It seems to be working just fine.
