Iraqi Survivor Wants US Troops Executed

Who doesn't these days. Get in line.

An Iraqi whose brother and other relatives were killed in a U.S. attack on a suspected terrorist hideout north of Baghdad condemned a military investigation Saturday that cleared forces of wrongdoing.

I'm assuming he's a combat forensics expert qualified to conduct is own investigation. If not, who the fuck cares if he condemns it or not. I mean, the guy lost his family in the raid so of course he's going to be upset. I'd be more concerned if he was okay with the findings and went on with his life like nothing happened. What a sensational headline for such a "no shit" story.

A 9-year-old survivor of an alleged massacre by U.S. forces in the western city of Haditha, meanwhile, demanded that those responsible be executed, as anger mounted over accusations that Iraqi civilians have been killed by Americans without provocation.

I'm sorry. 9-year-old? Suddenly we're listening to 9-year-olds when they want something now? Most of the time they want to meet Santa Claus and now we're giving them credibility? Wait...wait...are there or are there not foreign terrorist forces blowing innocents up every fucking day in Iraq? Are Iraqis calling for their executions? Has everyone gone mental?
It's unfortunate that innocents are killed in Iraq, it really is. It's sad when one gets blown up at the market by a suicide car bomber and it's sad when one gets crushed under a building we blow up to kill those suicide car bombers before they go to the market. (like a demented "this little piggy" game)Where's all the tension and anger at al-qaeda in Iraq? Where are the calls for those peoples executions? Maybe if American forces killed anyone who spoke up against them we'd get more respect over there. In Iraq, it's backwards day every day.

"We did not do anything to them," said Iman Walid Abdul-Hameed, who lost her parents, a brother, her grandparents and two uncles in the shootings. She said only she, her brother and a sister survived.

Imam, I'm sorry this happened, I am. Sometimes during war, people do bad things, terrible things. There's nothing anyone can say to make you feel better. Executing people don't bring back the dead.
Why am I the one giving her this talk?
