Third claim of atrocity rocks US servicemen

Third claim of atrocity rocks US servicemen
From Tim Reid in Washington and Ned Parker in Baghdad


PRESIDENT BUSH faced a growing crisis over the conduct of American troops in Iraq yesterday after it emerged that at least three alleged atrocities were being investigated.

With US commanders still struggling to contain the fallout from the alleged al-Haditha massacre, the US military was faced with claims that American soldiers rounded up and shot 11 unarmed civilians, including five children — one only six months old — and four women, in the town of Ishaqi in March.

It also emerged that murder, kidnapping and conspiracy charges are likely to be brought imminently against seven Marines and a Navy corpsman for killing an Iraqi civilian near Baghdad on April 26. They are being held in solitary confinement at Camp Pendelton Marine Corps base in California.

The Iraqi civilian that they killed was allegedly dragged from his home and shot. The troops are alleged to have planted a shovel and an AK-47 rifle next to his body to make it appear as if he was an insurgent burying a roadside bomb.

I'll tell you what! Why not just indict all US Military who have been in Iraq since 2003 for war crimes and be done with it. That's what the rag-heads, the rag-head lovers, and the dick-headed Left have wanted from the get-go.

I'll say it again! I don't care how many Moon-Bat Muslims the US Military have killed, under what conditions, or what age or gender they were. I support our troops in any actions against our enemies that results in more of our enemies ending up dead. I'm an American and I don't really give a damn about anyone but Americans and not even all of them!
