Watch your back for the Old Media

Outstanding cartoon via Cox & Forkum (via Right on Red):


I finally saw the video of the "shooting" last night in Fallujah. After watching the video and surveying the situation, I no longer think the marine in question should even be reprimanded - he should be congratulated.

He was reacting exactly as he should have - protecting himself and his unit. Jeff at Beautiful Atrocities has some ways you can show your support for the marine. He provides this message from Tammy Bruce:

"One of our fighting men has come under 'investigation' for shooting a terrorist who was pretending to be dead in a mosque. The media is spinning this as a 'shooting of a wounded, unarmed Iraqi.' The bottom line is that he was a murderous savage trying to trick one of our soldiers, who then did his job by killing that enemy.

"Quite a few of our casualties as we liberated Fallujah were soldiers who approached the supposed dead or wounded terrorists only to be injured or killed because the body or person was boobytrapped. This was at a time of combat & our young man did his duty. He deserves a medal, not a lawyer.

Have you heard the Old Media report on what was going on in Fallujah's mini-Taliban rule of terror? Of course not. You should read what was being done to the citizens of Fallujah.

Another poster in the ruins of the souk bears testament to the strict brand of Sunni Islam imposed by the council, fronted by hardline cleric Abdullah Junabi. The decree warns all women that they must cover up from head to toe outdoors, or face execution by the armed militants who controlled the streets.

Two female bodies found yesterday suggest such threats were far from idle. An Arab woman, in a violet nightdress, lay in a post-mortem embrace with a male corpse in the middle of the street. Both bodies had died from bullets to the head.

"But we were happy you did what you did because Fallujah had been suffocated by the Mujahidin. Anyone considered suspicious would be slaughtered. We would see unknown corpses around the city all the time."

The same story of arbitrary executions was told by another resident, found by US troops cowering in his home with his brother and his family.

"They would wear black masks, carry rocket-propelled grenades and Kalashnikovs, and search streets and alleys," said Iyad Assam, 24. "I would hear stories, about how they executed five men one day and seven another for collaborating with the Americans. They made checkpoints on the roads. They put announcements on walls banning music and telling women to wear the veil from head to toe."

Sounds like we were about 8 months too late in executing the Fallujah offensive. This is due in no small part to the leftist media holding our troops hostage by using the war in Iraq as election fodder.

Consequently, Rather, Brokaw, Jennings, you're the bastards with blood on your hands. Mary Mapes, Chris Matthews and CNN, you're responsible for this mini-Taliban rule in Fallujah - you enabled the slaughter - hope you're able to wash down the blood with your fucking lattes.
