The Man with the Answers Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 i copy and pasted from the bbc article... but good journalistic etiquette (such as bbc follows) dictates that you say 'may" until cooborated... (alsosee "all the presidents men") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'm not justifying this by any means, but there are many Iraqis who are killing dozens of innocent civilians every day in Iraq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 it's war. innocent people are going to be executed. not a shock at all. still super fucked though. i saw a clip from one of the army's 'morality training' classes or whatever they are calling it the instructor says 'an ied goes off and kills the driver of the humvee in front of you. he's been incinerated you can seee his charred hands still gripping the steering wheel are you gonna just open up with oyur 50 cal on all the surrounding houses? ..well that isn't the proper reaction' so fucked. we never should have gone in there ever ever ever.

Larry Pubes Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 yea, i was just reading about this. lovely. the thing i don't get is why are marines out doing patrols and shit? shouldn't that be handled by some other force like the army? i always thought marines were the guys you called in when you needed to kill everything in sight..

!@#$% Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 yup, we went and invaded a country, then disbanded their army and central infrastructure. now marines are artilleried-police., and yeah, still the guys you call when you want it all dead, like, yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man with the Answers Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 so is that all the marines are, trained monkees, whatever happen to free will and indidivual choice in our secular democracy? but the truth of the matter is, is that if your murdering the people you are liberating, it don't look good. Kinda like if the Americans arivved at Aushwitz and decided to kill all the remaining jews in the camp to "liberate" them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelofdeath Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 "so is that all the marines are, trained monkees, whatever happen to free will and indidivual choice in our secular democracy?" first off, individualism would be totally destroyed in a true "secular" democracy. give me a limited constitutional republic any day to protect individual rights. and you guys are splitting hairs with what i said... i was responding to what was said above about marines "only being used to destroy everything." i was just trying to relay that marines are trained for more jobs than just blowing everything up. i never defended or pointed fingers at marines for this incident.

CRUSH KILL DESTROY Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 yea who the fuck cares, the last alleged mass killing by american soldiers was unfounded. The terrorists most likely went in shortly after the marines left, shot and killed all of them to make it look like it was the marines who did it. terrorists kill innocent civilians daily so my theory may not be that far off.

angelofdeath Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 i like the war is war argument. i mean really is war "legal?" my only problem is... we dont see anyone trying to "convict" the guys we are fighting in iraq for "improper war play."

Larry Pubes Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 how can you have 'improper war play' when the invasion itself is illegal aggression predicated on hoodwinking the US population with complete fabrications? in a totalitarian system, the dictator says 'we're going to war' and everybody marches... i don't see much of a difference with the iraq war and now the inevitable attack on iran.

villain Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Of course we are trying to enforce the law. The problem is that when we become corrupt ourselves, and succumb to hate crimes, cover our own tracks and brush accusations aside, we have essentially marginalized the people we are supposed to be helping to liberate. It's small wonder that popular sentiment in Iraq is against us when incidents like this occur. There is a problem with lawlessness within the military. Not so much lawlessness but a sense that one is above the law. Some people develop some serious god complexes. It's well known in the military that the military is not very good at regulating itself. I think an independent investigative service inside the military is a good idea, because it's a classic case of too many chiefs and not enough indians. It is so autonomous, I have often likened it to the old west. Corruption is nearly systemic, and it requires a great amount of effort to root it out. Often to the point of needing the help of civilian authorities, congressmen, and senators. Because of this, I would say that 99% of cases are not adequately addressed, or are suppressed and handled within a small circle with negligable consequences, if they are even addressed at all. So yes, we all know the terrorists are supposed to be the bad guys, but we are supposed to be the good guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelofdeath Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 "how can you have 'improper war play' when the invasion itself is illegal aggression predicated on hoodwinking the US population with complete fabrications?" again... maybe we are dealing with semantics but really... what war is "legal?" whose laws are we to use? maybe you are saying the iraq war isnt justified? in my opinion the iraq was was not totally justified, however, congress voted to put troops in iraq. if congress voted to put 500,000 troops in canada for no reason, it would be legal but it wouldnt be justified. so the issue is we have armed forced in iraq, by "democratic" vote in a democratically controlled congress. (at the time) some marines killed civilians. they should be tried, etc etc. my point is.. who the fuck is trying the insurgents for "illegal" war moves? im just saying.. instead of just going back to "the iraq invasion is illegal" just remember congress voted to put troops over there. so it is "legal" according to our law. maybe not justified morally, but it is legal. if it was up to the UN everyone would be disarmed, only the "bad guys" would have arms, and no country would be able to defend themselves. im just confused as to what exactly makes a war "legal" in the world today. consider when was the last time we actually declared war... ww2? everything after was essentially "police actions." it was logical progression. FDR concentrated more power in the executive than any other president. using the police action card was the next logical step, and truman did it in korea.

Larry Pubes Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 it's not 'semantics', there are definitions and legalities involved and without them you have a free for all planet. you could argue 'semantics' when dealing with war crimes too, but there is an actual definition with legal ramifications. regardless, the invasion was illegal under international law. tell the iraqi's that congress voted for it, therefore it's legal. it's also completely unjustified under the pretext that was foisted on the world. now i understand that international law doesn't mean shit to the US, since that would mean the US is subordinate to a higher power and would hamper it's role as the defacto aggressor keeping every country in it's place and pliable to it's will, but that doesn't mean it's justifiable or legal. a 'legal' and 'justified' war would be one that: a)the overwhelming population of the host country agrees with and wants it's leader removed through bombing campaigns by a foreign country, b)the overwhelming population of the aggresor country agrees with putting it's sons and daughters in a grave war situation overseas, c)the international consensus overwhelmingly supports the action all 3 of these did not happen, and in fact any deviation from the propaganda line was met with smear campaigns and unbelievable belligerance.

angelofdeath Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 "now i understand that international law doesn't mean shit to the US," see.. i if you really understand this then your argument has no weight. fuck international law. we are SOVEREIGN country. henceforth, your defination of a legal and just war does not apply to anyone else because every country has thier own definition of a legal and just war. in the US the war was voted on by congress. so it is legal. it is not justified because iraq is not a vital US interest or threat. the only time US forces should be used is when we are invaded or when a vital US interest is at stake and we have to defend our rights, lives or property. we have no business policing the world. we have no business supporting a war because the international community does. and we have no business aiding foreign countries or intervening in any others countries affairs beside our own. friendship and commerce with all nations, entanglings alliances with none.

I don't expect people to play by any set of rules. Especially not our "above the law" shotgun administration. Nobody plays by the rules nowadays , that's one of the things wrong with the world today, niggaz iz cutthroatz and nothing is sacred anymore.

stunt double Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Fuckmuni, the reason that there is such secular violence in Iraq is because its borders are only about 70 years old. British colonialists came in and named the place Iraq irrespective of the various cutures of the people that live there, it wasnt always the way it is today. Also, I don't understand how people can think that everything happening which reflects badly on the US, is the work of terrorists. someone here said that this massacre was probably commited by "terrorists". On the news, the suicides of detainees at Guantanamo Bay was said to be a plot by Al Qaida, WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
