Marines and Other U.S. Soldiers Gun Down Women and Children in the Streets of Iraq

COWARD SMEARS MARINES TO SAVE SELF
December, 2004

The account is chilling.

A soldier seeking asylum in Canada tells the grim story of trigger-happy U.S. Marines and soldiers gunning down women and children in the streets of Iraq. Later he recounts how soldiers pumped hundreds of bullets into civilian cars, slaughtering unarmed occupants trapped inside.

And then there was the time U.S. Marines gunned down unarmed protesters in retaliation for a stray bullet flying overhead.

In what was described by reporters as "chilling testimony," former U.S. Marine Jeremy Hinzman and retired staff sergeant Jimmy Massey described Iraq as an immoral war and accused fellow Marines of murder and mayhem.

The explosive charges were meant to bolster Hinzman's efforts to dodge combat duty and gain citizenship in Canada.

The only problems with the claims are that Massey named no names in the testimony and the Marine seeking asylum — Hinzman — never even set foot in Iraq.

Like John Kerry and the Winter Soldiers thirty years ago, these former members of the armed services have no problem telling the world that American troops are baby-murdering villains whose actions on the battlefield have made them all war criminals.

But as with John Kerry's testimony before the Senate in 1971, these cowards came forward only when it was politically expedient.

More damning to their horror story is the fact they refuse to name names.

You can take it to the bank that if I were fighting next to some crazed U.S. soldier who was gunning down women and children in the streets of Iraq, I would immediately report the murderous activity to my military commanders. Instead, these publicity-seeking hounds decided to call a press conference in Canada months after the alleged incidents occurred.

If these wanton acts of rape and murder ever took place, how would this grandstanding months later save a single civilian from the fury of our barbaric ground troops in Iraq? Oh wait. It wouldn't.

But then again, spreading these pack of lies to an American-hating press corps was never about saving a single life in Iraq. Instead, it was about nothing more than helping a coward flee to Canada.

If the whole north-of-the-border thing doesn't work out for Hinzman, I'm sure Osama Bin Laden would let him share a cave in Pakistan. After all, this disgraced former Marine aided and abetted every terror network worldwide by spreading lies and propaganda about our brave fighting men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The only mistake America made in this case was allowing two people so utterly lacking in character into the Marine Corps. By their actions, they have proven themselves to be unworthy of being called United States Marines.

I bet Scarborough was waiting to use Kerry and Bin Laden in the same article for weeks. Who reads this trite?

-HECK!

HECK, that hurt? (I'm sure Kerry's still smarting.)

It's laughable, to be honest.

So many scared American people, many of them duped pawns enveloped in a color-coded propaganda machine, frantic to vote for what they were led to perceive as imminent safety in a chaotic world hell-bent on destroying them.

Then comes an unmitigated yet wandering military response, eventually deciding to depose a dictator a decade too late; a dictator who we once supported and American companies sold arms to up until 1991. This incursion was so embraced that anyone who questioned the ever-changing motives and cause of said incursion had to be some sort of Bush-basher.

We are to pay no mind that this military action is in a part of the world that this country has vowed to protect its interests in at all costs.

It comes as no coincidence that we are there now, using the most horrible attack on our soil as a motivator, under the guise that we're stopping 'terror' and promoting 'freedom.'

I will be the first to say that ousting Saddam Hussein and his regime out, unarguably, is better for the world. Make no mistake, I support and pray for our troops. However, the underlying agenda and motivation for such agenda must be recognized; that agenda, to the core, is money.

Keep on 'nyuck' n.

-HECK!

Blair is trying to whip up the fear barometer in Britain. Not at all coincidentally he also has to hold an election in the next couple of months.

He's right now getting rid of the 800 year old law of Habeus Corpus. If this law is changed British people will then be presumed guilty until they can prove they are innocent and can be locked up without charge or any legal rights whatsoever.

And anyone trying to prove their innocence may find it difficult because they are not going to be told what they've been arrested and locked up for. This, says Blair, is needed to protect the British public from the terrorists. Well if this is in fact the case - why is it being brought in just 2 months before an election and what's been protecting us for the last 2 or 3 years?
