Why didn't Rummy include photos of 14 year-old grandson we murdered??

I'm puzzled. Wouldn't the Reich Wing be proud of those shots!! Kill ALL those evil Husseins (EXCEPT, HEAVEN FORBID, THEIR FETUSES) the instant they leave the womb!! Only way to make the world a safe place. Seems to me that BushCo missed a real opportunity to shore up their politcal base with this oversight!! Maybe they've got plans to behead an infant cousin of Saddam's - a head that Karl Rove can actually mount on a U.S. flagpole or something. Now that would be a nice touch!

1. Because he was not ...

on one of the playing cards.

Americans do not understand the importance of anything unless there is a playing card associated with it.

2. Murder? Assassination? that's Bullshit

It was a combat situation. These guys kept up a running gunbattle with the Army for 4 hours. When you shoot at the Army, they shoot back. It ain't murder. It was not smart, but it ain't murder. Give me a friggin break.

7. You explain to me, in terms of international law, the justification

The U.S. military has, first in occupying Iraq, and secondly in the arrest, prosecution, and execution individuals alleged by the U.S. to be criminals - much less their 14 year-old relatives!!

6. In the context of a combat operation

The enemy is the enemy. 14 year old boys can handle an AK-47! The volume of fire coming out of that house suggested MORE than 4 persons inside. US troops also took fire form a building across the street during that battle.

In the middle of a firefight, checking IDs is a pretty low priority.

Just my opinion as a veteran. I do NOT support the invasion.

9. Why didn't they fire a knockout bomb of some kind thru the window to make

them all unconcious and then go in and get them?....Wouldn't having them to question make more sense than killing them....

11. Good point, but

a) that technology may not have been available and b) since the Russians had their little 'problem' with knockout gas in Moscow, people would be hesitant to use it.

I will agree with you that the entire incident REEKS of overkill. I fear our military leadership now FEARS every wounded US soldier. A simple house claering could have ended this thing without the use of 10 TOW missiles!!!
