WASHINGTON - President Bush on Monday approved the execution of an Army private, the first time in over a half-century that a president has affirmed a death sentence for a member of the U.S. military.

With his signature from the Oval Office, Bush said yes to the military's request to execute Ronald A. Gray, the White House confirmed. Gray had had been convicted in connection with a spree of four murders and eight rapes in the Fayetteville, N.C., area over eight months in the late 1980s while stationed at Fort Bragg.

Gray was dumb, he should have had his free for all in Iraq, then no one would have cared.

Right, Sam. Because US troops are raping and pillaging, right?

Your agitprop would disgust me if it wasn't so predicatable and puerile.

 

[Norsefire]

He deserved it for his crimes.

He deserved it for his crimes.

Well said, Justice served.

I like how Drudge ran with this story... "Bush approves execution of a soldier".

Here's a better copy: "Bush approves execution of a serial rapist".

You are correct, that ---------wasn't a Soldier.

 

[Myles]

You are correct, that ---------wasn't a Soldier.

How about serial-rapist soldier ? That should cover it.

 

[Norsefire]

Yes I was thinking the same otheadp. He is a soldier but he's not much of one he's more of a criminal


I also approve of cp for soldiers for

desertion
treason
insubordinance
being a traitor
stuff like that

Good point. If he converted to Islam, joined Al Qaeda, and started slaughtering Iraqis, noone would care except Bush & Co.

Wow. This would make your army harsher than pretty much any army in recent history.

 

[Norsefire]

You have to be harsh

Ahahhaha Al Qaeda in Iraq? You mean ex-Sunni insurgents now Awakening?

Americans are so funny. They pay people to manufacture news and then ask for evidence.

Yes, so some random isolated incidents are indicative of the whole affair. All of them are raping and all of them are pillaging.

What String? You mean all US soldiers aren't baby-killing, daughter-raping Imperialists?

 

[S.A.M.]

Yes, you do.
I would take this advice to heart, say if you were my commanding officer.

If you ordered me to shoot someone, I'd shoot you.

I can't order you to just "shoot someone". Not everyone is a military target.
