OK, now the closing statement is just about one of the dumbest things that one of those "human rights" retards have ever said:

quote:

James Ross, the legal and policy director of Human Rights Watch, said the dispersal of ammunition and explosives by US forces as a method of targeting insurgents would present obvious human rights problems.

"It seems to me that there are all sorts of reasons that civilians would want to pick up ammunition that is sitting on the ground," he said.

Uhm, yeah, like USING IT against Coalition forces. OK, then again, some people in Iraq are starving and would pick it up to sell it for food, in which case it would end up in the wrong hands anyway.

"Humans rights humans rights humans rights". Right, we should just let somebody walk off with armload of explosives or ammo. What use are these weapons to them? What are guns for? SHOOTING PEOPLE! what are explosives for? BLOWING SH*T UP! So what ever they do plan to do with it after they pick it up, its not good. Selling it to someone or using it thierselves, its a threat

Here's another story on the baiting:

On the one hand, I don't see anything wrong - we're fighting very brutal, uncivilized people who need a brutal ending to their evil existence. I like what Kid Rock said about Iraq. He said something like "take all the media out of Iraq" because war is dirty. Then for every one US Soldier killed the US goes in and kills 50 from that neighborhood until the neighborhood turns over the murderer of the Soldier. And if they don't comply kill another 50 and then another until you have the murderer. On the other hand, the Soldiers shouldn't have to plant any evidence. Just kill the evildoers and go on about your business.

In Somalia I remember little kids picking up mortar shells and giving them to US forces to show they wanted to help. One kid brought me a mortar for a piece of candy, I promised the whole pack of Charms to show me where he found it. Over 60 mortars and twenty tubes were found that day for a pack of Charms. Guess he would have been shot through the head.

On TOW Gunner's post...

You got a good tactic there. The only thing is, that's what the Nazis did in Europe. It was also, I must add, a very successful tactic, but it won't go with the USA's image of the Watchdog of Freedom and Democracy.

Something the Associated Press forgot to mentioned is just because the Sniper has a picture on his bait does not mean he has to shoot everyone.

"Moments earlier, the man, according to testimony and court documents, had been fleeing an attack on U.S. soldiers and was holding the sickle to masquerade as a farmer"

Doesnt that mean hes a terrorist and spool of wire or not, you're cleared/sopposed to shoot the bastard? the way i'm reading it dont they mean he was fleeing after he attacked or that hes fleeing insurgents attacking americans?

Plus... you sure as hell dont go up to a crime scene and put your DNA and fingerprints all over it that makes you a suspect. So you sure as hell wouldnt go around picking up incriminating items such as gun ammo and bomb crap in the middle of a warzone would you? If you found this crap in that guys house later instead of seeing him picking it up off a road, wouldnt you arrest/shoot him? wouldnt they arrest you immediately if you had any bomb materials in your house out there? Dont cops use similiar tactics such as paying a ransom, give them the money and arrest/kill who ever picks up the money?

Aufklarer, actually I was just half-joking about Kid Rock's statement. Of course we can't go in and start indiscriminately killing. But when it comes to killing the bad guys, we need to show no mercy and no regrets and we need to kill as many of the bad guys as we can, without the media standing around carping about excessive force. I was watching The War last night on PBS. It was talking about on Saipan I believe how the Japanese instead of surrendering swam out in the ocean to effectively commit suicide. But the US troops started taking pot shots at them nevertheless, even though they were a good distance out, and they killed more than a few. No telling what today's media would have said about the incident.
