Oh my, could this be progress?

The U.S. Marine Corps have charged seven Marines and one sailor in the alleged murder of an Iraqi civilian in April.

"There is sufficient evidence at this point to charge all of them with premeditated murder," Lt.-Col. Darren Margolin told a news conference Wednesday at Camp Pendleton, Calif.

The eight men are also charged with kidnapping, conspiracy and providing false official statements

    here it comes..

    I am sure many military folks have done some horrible things. thats what we get when we through human beings into a land where killing is an everyday event. Thats why war is bad.. this war is more bad as it was completely unnecessary.. sort of a luxury war for the US and England..

    For this luxury there is so much pain suffering and loss that we need more people to blame.. We are somewhat tired of blaming those really responsible.. now we shall spread it out - next up - the people on the ground carrying out the wishes of those really responsible.

    as, this is the next type of casualty...

    Once we completely demonize the entire military population.. who will be next?

    Savages? For fuck's sake, if I were an Iraqi I'd be part of the insurgency too. Most of us would. Goddamn....if any country illegally attacked and occupied us don't you fucking think we'd do similar things as the insurgency?

    how about when bush said in a speech that an IAEA report said Iraq was 6 months away from a nuke and "I don't know what more evidence we need."...which the IAEA NEVER issued a report saying anything close to this...in fact their latest report stated there was NO evidence of them having a program or obtaining anything clandestinely....?

    or rummy and his 'bullet-proof evidence' linking iraq w/ 9/11?

    lol...I've read plenty. But I'll tell ya what, the ten club is honest and ethical and I admit that anything suggested by them or the band is gonna weigh a little more in my decision making than what you hear on Fox fucking news. My previous post has merit and you fucking know it, that's why your only response is to attack me. It's okay though, the good news for you is that God is forgiving and still loves his lost and ignorant children....

    Go troll around some place else and stir up shit there. We already have a Miller anyways. Your posts only make the conservative viewpoint look bad.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Bush: “I would like to remind you that when the inspectors first went into Iraq and were denied (1998), finally denied access, a report came out of the Atomic -the IAEA- that they were 6 months away from developing a weapon. I don’t know what more evidence we need.”
    http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/09/20020907-2.html

    IAEA: “There’s never been a report like that from this agency.”
    if you search for Mark Gwozdecky(the IAEA chief spokesman) and bush and some keywords from bush's quote above you can find plenty of sites that list this. but here's the nuclear control institute's site and it has these quotes listed complete w/ references and websites for htem
    http://www.nci.org/02NCI/09/iraq-pr9302002.htm

    IAEA's 1998 report: “Based on all credible information to date the IAEA has found no indication of Iraq having achieved a nuclear weapons program or of Iraq having retained a physical capability for the production of weapon-useable nuclear material or having clandestinely obtained such material.”

    the IAEA 1998 report on Iraq is here, here is the link to the assessment. you can see it is the opposite of what bush said
    http://www.iaea.org/worldatom/Programmes/ActionTeam/nwp2.html#assess

    Scott McClellan: "He's referring to 1991 there, in '91, there was a report saying that after the war they found out they were about six months away."

    i'm sure you won't accept it but here's the best one i could find...all the links point to the washington times article which is no longer on their site

    http://www.truthout.org/docs_02/10.01B.no.report.htm

    The White House says Mr. Bush was referring to an earlier IAEA report. "He's referring to 1991 there," said Deputy Press Secretary Scott McClellan. "In '91, there was a report saying that after the war they found out they were about six months away."

    Mr. Gwozdecky said no such report was ever issued by the IAEA in 1991. Many news agencies -- including The Washington Times -- reported Mr. Bush's Sept. 7 comments as referring to a 1998 IAEA report. The White House did not ask for a correction from The Times.

    To clear up the confusion, Mr. McClellan cited two news articles from 1991 -- a July 16 story in the London Times by Michael Evans and a July 18 story in the New York Times by Paul Lewis. But neither article cites an IAEA report on Iraq's nuclear-weapons program or states that Saddam was only six months away from "developing a weapon" -- as claimed by Mr. Bush. The article by Mr. Evans says: "Jay Davis, an American expert working for the U.N. special commission charged with removing Iraq's nuclear capability, said Iraq was only six months away from the large-scale production of enriched uranium at two plants inspected by UN officials."

    Not Miller, he would provide comfort for the occupying soldiers. Blow jobs and brown eye from Miller for every iraqi soldier in his neighborhood.
