SpAM, another appeal to emotion, yes, I am sorry for that girl, but the video from the drone doesn't support her version of story, the video doesn't lie, and I have questions about the video that was made with her?,

Ali Omar Abrahem al-Mashhadan, a Reuters News Service reporter had been previously identified as known insurgent propagandists

Thabet, who claimed to live around 100 yards away from the original IED blast in Haditha, videotaped the scene the day after the carnage.

Intelligence officers said frequent cellular telephone conversations between these Ali Omar Abrahem al-Mashhadan and Thaer Thabet al-Hadithi had been monitored.

Hadithi, who was one of the sources interviewed by Tim McGirk for the Time Magazine scoop which brought the incident to light, presented himself as a "journalism student" who was embarking on a midlife career following the American invasion. Hadithi also claimed his group, which runs 14 local offices in Iraq, was affiliated with Human Rights Watch. After Human Rights Watch denied having any official connection or ties with Hammurabi Human Rights Group, Time Magazine issued a retraction.

Capt. Jeffrey Dinsmore, the intelligence officer for the battalion, testified that “it's fairly well established through the (unmanned aerial vehicle) coverage that there were insurgents in those homes

Lt. Col. Paul Ware, the Inspecting Officer for several of the enlisted Marines, recommended on July 11, 2007 that LCpl. Justin Sharratt be cleared of these charges. Ware stated, "[t]he government version is unsupported by independent evidence... To believe the government version of facts is to disregard clear and convincing evidence to the contrary."[45] The charges against Sharratt were dropped on August 9th.[9]

Article 32 hearings for LCpl. Stephen Tatum began July 16, and for SSgt. Frank Wuterich begins in August.[46] The investigating officer recommended charges be dropped against Tatum.[10]

SAM you also need to tell the other side of the story. Americans are doing a lot of good too. See this case of a boy who was set afire by street thugs in Iraq. Average Americans donated hughe sums to pay for the medical treatment of this disfigured boy. And this is just one of many stories of American generousity. You seem to be focused just on the bad things that happen in war.

In that article, it was not the Americans who injured the boy. It was an Persian or Arab act of violence against a young child. They doused the child in gasoline and set him on fire. What kind of monster would do that.
The child was teased by his neighbors. His family went to the Americans. And it was thousands of Americans who donated money to bring he and his family to the United States so that we could help heal is physical and emotional wounds. And this is not a unique story. His injuries had nothing to do with the United States invasion or occupation of Iraq. But the healing of his wounds does.

 

[Bells]

Feds are calling this the most serious threat from Iran in years. The POS Iranians verbally threatened the USA ships with explosions!

And your Navy is sitting 12 miles off their coastline, armed to the teeth. Which do you view as being more threatening? A few little boats and taunts or 3 massive warships armed to the eyeballs which could destroy your coastline and cause a large amount of damage to your country and populace?

Iran is run by a little SOB bastard just beggin' for a beatin'. I say let's give the little jihadist what he wants.

You do know that is how many in the world feels about Bush, don't you?:spank:

-----------------------------------------------------------

Do I agree with this situation? To be honest, I am surprised the US did not open fire. Were they correct in their reaction to the boats? Yes. Small boats can cause a hell of a lot of damage if packed with explosives. Were the Iranians in the wrong? In part yes. The US ships were in what is deemed to be international waters. Do they (the Iranians) feel threatened? Yes. I would imagine most States would feel threatened by having a fleet of heavily armed ships sitting off their coastline while that fleets President slyly threatens you constantly in the media and by its actions. But at the end of the day, you will be deemed to be in the wrong if you take it upon yourself to threaten ships in international waters. Had the US ships strayed into Iranian waters, then this situation would be entirely different.

Had the US not been there for the reason they are there, for example, if the US out of the blue decided to park its warships off the coast of Iran, then they would be deemed to be the aggressors. In this instance, while their action can be deemed to be aggressive, I think the fact they did not open fire on those boats, would have to be admirable under the circumstances.

Mr. Moreno-Ocampo rejected complaints activists had filed with the ICC accusing the U.S. of atrocities in Iraq.

Imagine 3 Iranian naval warships in the Hudson Bay. Imagine the US accepting this. Imagine Iran complaining if the US sends out boats :crazy:[/QUOTE]

Hudson Bay isn't an international waterway. The Straights of Hormuz are. Furthermore, since the US is on solid terms with the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia & Iran-- and Hormuz is really the only way to get the ships there, it really isn't all that odd that US ships would be there. Only in your insane mentality could you come up with such a ridiculous comparison.
