(62,325 posts)killing of the Reuters employees took place during the MORNING.
Airc the father was driving his children to school. He was NOT in 'the pitch dark' nor was he 'screeching up to pick them up'.
If you're going to make stuff up to try to justify the murder of two journalists and the near murder of two children, at least try to be CLOSE to the facts.
The US Government has acknowledged that this was a 'tragic error' and have made no attempt, as you just did, to alter the FACTS.
The 'insurgent' whose life he tried to save, was a REUTERS JOURNALIST!
A man already wounded. A war crime to shoot a wounded person and anyone trying to rescue them.
The man was a hero. The two US soldiers who saved the lives of the two children have apologized to the Iraqi people for all that has been done to them, and specifically to the family who lost a husband, a father and the main provider for his family.
Imagine if this happened here. An invading army is in this country. What would Americans do? IRaq had NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11. We are invaders of a sovereign country to get control of their oil. That is all, and every death of an Iraqi citizen IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY, is a crime.
Let me try to say it slowly. An Iraqi father driving his children ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, in his own country, has EVERY RIGHT TO DO SO.
Despicable war based on lies, still being defended. With false statements no less. Well, it's appropriate that a war based on lies would HAVE to be defended BY lies.
