U.S. Military Denies New Abuse Allegations at Ishaqi

must be: kill'em all :shrug:

i remember this one. they covered it up with an air strike.

The pretender and his cadre all need to stand trial at The Hague.

I guess the military will just hope this one goes away by denying it.

the terra sympathizers shot the, already dead, children in the head in order to frame the Americans. Bet on it!

And of course, My Lai wasn't itself unique.

They can talk about a few bad apples, but they can't admit the truth about the orchard.

what I don't understand is why people keep believing the lies.

in the world.

The outrage is growing, good. Why kill babies? Why shoot little kids? why why why?

Troops involved in a shooting incident in Iraqi town of Ishaqi, near Balad, have been cleared of any misconduct, Pentagon tells CNN.

"Unfortunately, they are collateral damage blah blah blah, shots were fired from the compound blah blah. Well, they thought they heard shots blah blah blah...call in the helos for a massive bombing to take out the evidence, I mean al qaeda." That 75 year old woman and 6 montj old baby were dangerous!

BTW, I call BULL SHIT on all of them.

Low hanging fruit like Lyndie England who once they start killing, continue to love to do it.

But a report filed by Iraqi police accused US troops of rounding up and deliberately shooting 11 people in the house, including five children and four women, before blowing up the building.

The video tape obtained by the BBC shows a number of dead adults and children at the site with what our world affairs editor John Simpson says were clearly gunshot wounds.

The pictures came from a hardline Sunni group opposed to coalition forces.

It has been cross-checked with other images taken at the time of events and is believed to be genuine.

"American forces were going after a high-value terrorist target they succeeded in apprehending"

I have no words...

I feel MUCH safer now. :sarcasm: :puke:

I can't help it.......I am crying right now. That is so sad."Support the troops" my phucking ass. Not this time. I am so ashamed to be an American right now. This kind of shit puts a black mark on us all.

By a group of Louts and Hooligans

the lies will come back to bite them and us.

The one that showed conclusively that the US military's version, and the truth were at odds with one another?

If it is, colour me surprised.... :eyes:

I heard the BBC was doing a report on this exact incident.

the disconnect between the words and the pictures is coming out to many. Many more people are noticing. This is good. The acts are horrific, the coverup appalling, the media coverage necessary.

But Bush will have none of it, because he knows his shameless ass would be in the Hague now.

The results should come as no surprise to anyone.

then they're automatically al Quaeda-regardless of age, sex or creed-that is the official party line direct from Rummy.

we have all been watching CSI, Crossing Jordon & Numb3rs and we know a body killed by crushing as opposed to one w/ a bullet hole. I saw the pictures and there was more than one child!

So there were FOUR dead - what about the other SEVEN?

Yeah! They'll do anything, you know. Just to make us look bad. :sarcasm:

How special.

INvestigate self, clear self.

The IDF would have had to have killed millions of Palestinian to proportionally match the number of civilians killed by US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

murders and cleared itself. I said nothing about proportional comparisons.

The allegations of a massacre surfaced after the BBC aired footage of the incident on March 15.

The BBC said the images seemed to contradict US accounts of what happened in the town of Ishaqi.

The US army initially said four people had died during a raid to find an al-Qaeda supporter in which a building collapsed.

However, Iraqi police said 11 civilians, including five children and four women, were shot and killed by US troops who then blew up the building.

The video footage shows a row of bodies, many displaying what seem to be gunshot wounds.

The video was obtained from a Sunni group opposed to US-led forces, the BBC said.

the Iraqis are NOT happy...and frankly either am I! :puke:

Troops cleared in Ishaqi probe; Rumsfeld defends troops training, conduct


The three allegations in recent weeks that U.S. troops murdered Iraqi civilians is fueling a furor in Iraq and drawing strong condemnations from government and human rights officials. “It looks like the killing of Iraqi civilians is becoming a daily phenomenon,” the chairman of the Iraqi Human Rights Association, Muayed al-Anbaki, said Friday after video ran on television of children and adults slain in a raid in March on the Iraqi village of Ishaqi north of Baghdad.

Al-Anbaki’s comments came a day after Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki upbraided the U.S. military over allegations that Marines killed two dozen unarmed civilians in the western city of Haditha, calling it “a horrible crime.” They were his strongest public comments on the subject since his government was sworn in last month.

Everything else will be denied.

The victims were bound and executed BEFORE the house was blown up! There are eyewitnesses and US casings beneath the rubble!

This atrocity bothers me even more than Haditha. Maybe that's just because I saw the photo of the six month old baby with a big bullet hole through her head....

It was mass suicide!

:puke:

Baba Yar. Powerfully heartbreaking also.

These massacres are more common than they will ever allow us to know.

How will the liars in the Pentagon spin this crap? The only reason they get away with this shit is because our glorious free press is only free to parrot Big Brother's Ministry of Truth.

But the report of the killings in the Abu Sifa area of Ishaqi, eight miles north of the city of Balad, is unusual because it originated with Iraqi police and because Iraqi police were willing to attach their names to it.

The report, which also contained brief descriptions of other events in the area, was compiled by the Joint Coordination Center in Tikrit, a regional security center set up with United States military assistance. An Iraqi police colonel signed the report, which was based on communications from local police.

Brig. Gen. Issa al-Juboori, who heads the center, said that his office assembled the report on Thursday and that it accurately reflects the direction of the current police investigation into the incident.

He also said he knows the officer heading the investigation. "He's a dedicated policeman, and a good cop," he said when reached by phone in Tikrit from Baghdad. "I trust him."

Violence against civilians was "common among many of the multinational forces", he added.

Many troops had "no respect for citizens, smashing civilian cars and killing on a suspicion or a hunch", he added.

These accusations have been made by many during the past three years including officers of the British military and members of the SAS. Many U.S. service personnel have made similar claims. For anyone who stays informed a pretty clear picture has emerged over the years of the sort of activities engaged in by members of the U.S. military.

that is all the 'evidence' they need to grab 'em and toss 'em in some iraqi jail as insurgents. (never mind that EVERYONE runs away from where a bomb has just exploded)

investigation my foot.

Sayin it ain't so, doesn't make it so......

US is repeating the original whitewash and passing it off as a completed investigation. The US media is latching to the military's whitewash for they fear starting a news cycle of reporting atrocities in Iraq that would undermine public support for a war the media has supported from its start.

The US denial of an Ishaqi massacre is as much a whitewash as the shooting of Italian intelligence agent Nicola Calipari and Italian war correspondent Giuliana Sgrena in March 2005. From Democracy Now:
