Another American posting smilies when Iraqi's are killed...then again you only see the ugly side in people don't you, especially if they are Muslims?

I'm posting smilies at all the pathetic replies that call Americans cowards, not the death of an Iraqi. It is obvious today who only finds the ugly side in people today so stop spinning. Be honest.

I'm just wondering if all these people calling American soldiers cowards come from countires with great military victories in their history? Do they come froim countries where their own military has not been responsible for the deaths of millions of civilians? Just trying to figure out what military they are being compared against.

UTD is right, the bitterness is rather transparent today.

So you have never rejoiced at the deaths of Iraqi people and/or made excuses for American's killing them? You have never called people, especially those who are Muslims ugly?

Exactly, you cannot make excuses about one video being edited or doctored to cast doubt on it, and then claim the opposite in the case of the other.

But really, I can. I think I explained some of the specific technical differences between the two. A single uncut piece of footage is very different from what you can do with many unrelated pieces edited together.

Achh details!

When did someone say the Afghan videos were uncut pieces of footage, after all they were found by the American's, who are quite adept at editing as wel all know?

Disgusting US Army tactics in Iraq

**Warning

The video in the site I’m giving below is disturbing.

It shows US troops killing an injured Iraqi and celebrating. CNN Video caught them on camera

Again, please excercise caution when watching this. **

I rarely post in this section simply because it is so controversial and so full of raw emotion.

This is not the first time I have seen this footage. They ran this on some night time news show on NBC or FOX - I do not remember - a couple weeks ago. I do remember being sickened by what I saw. I even felt ashamed of being an American citizen who actually voted for Bush in the last election.

Here, there is so much hatred - SweetiePie, I read your posts in other sections of GS and laugh or feel happy, but here it is different. In this section there is no denying an underlying division, disdain, and spite among many of us. I want there to be reason that my soldiers did this horrible act, but there may not be. I want to tell people how sorry I am that so many civilians were killed, but to many of you, I am only another American. But I am sorry - sorry for the type of hatred that we cannot even seem to shed on a family forum. If we have extreme difficulty expressing our own anger on a faceless computer, I can only imagine the rage that must swell inside every American and Iraqi soldier when they meet face to face. May God's peace be with them all.

Re: Disgusting US Army tactics in Iraq

Has any action been taken against these war criminals in the US army?

****ing unbelievable.

Disgusting and all those making excuses about circumstances and editing and whatnot..SAVE IT !

those effing ******** - there are loads of these clips u can get, my brothers friends gave him loads and theyre angraiz which shows it isnt just muslims who r feeling like this

American invincibility is nothing more than a mirage; nothing but a myth. >>

That's all there is to it. And we all know now, how this myth is being shattered in Iraq.

Some absolutely sick shyte. Amazing the stuff the Americans can get away with. Even grosser is that someone can watch that vidoe and attempt to justify it. Man some of you need to get a life.

Well said.

The debate has gone on various tangents. so lets bring it back to the intial point.

With the assumption this this footage is authentic, I am sickened. we can all go off on tangents saying whether this is real or doctored.

But if it is real...whats the verdict folks?

I would say this shows a barbaric, twisted, misdirected group of soldiers clearly not in keeping with what their military seniors would want.
