UK troops 'shot harmless Iraqis'

[MrYogi]

UK troops have killed Iraqi civilians including an eight-year-old girl when they were under no apparent threat, Amnesty International has claimed.

Nothing new about it. They have been doing it for more than a couple of hundred years...of course, A.I didnt exist then

"There was no dilemma when it came to shooting people who were not in uniform, I just pulled the trigger." - Specialist Corporal Michael Richardson to London's Mirror, June 19, 2003.

Check your link out.


Don't forget the investigation into the pictures which depict two Iraqi boys holding up a sign indicating that a U.S. soldier killed the boys' father and "knocked up" their sister. The soldier is standing behind the boys with a thumbs-up. Has the thumbs-up become a U.S. military sign of abuse and humiliation? See the picture at http://www.cair-net.org/images/lcpl11.jpg


Holy sh!t this guy is stupid.



EDIT: Getting back to the quotes:

Could this be because many members of saddams fighting units wore civilian clothes? Early on in the conflict, quite a few americans died when soldiers dressed as civilans took our troops by surprise.

The PLO also uses women and children for their attacks.

When the enemy combatants hid amoung and recruit the civilian population, it is difficult to tell who is safe.

Propaganda will always show the mistakes, never, the successes.

And if it isn't defensless humans, it's kittens:

And quite frankly, seeing as how cats seem to enjoy life when they're free, there's something deeply disturbing about people who can torture kittens.
