U.S. snipers accused of 'baiting' Iraqis

[All Else Failed]

That's not where I was going, but sounds good. Besides, it's war. I mean, we're talking about losers who send 8 year old kids up to our soldiers to blow them up, GOD FORBID our soldiers do what they are ordered to protect themselves! DAMN THEM! Get a clue. I had a friend die in IRAQ trying to go into a hospital to make sure everyone was OK, what happened? Someone through a grenade out at him. He was in the wrong though, right?






So, let's look at ALL these people who hate America, read what they say, and believe them. That's like talking to a black person, who is racist, about how racist white people are, and that ALL white people are racist. He's right. Get what I'm saying. Try coming up with your own decision instead of agreeing with someone who hates America.

I find it funny how all these people who hate America, LIVE in America. Such a terrible place huh?

well, thats unfortunate about your freind, but that has nothing to do with what is going on here. We're talking about the possibility of innocent people getting killed by a baiting technique. Are you ok with civilians getting killed?




And um, who said I hated America?

Of course I'm not OK with civilians being killed, that's why I'm 110% behind our US soldiers over there. You act like the soldiers are just doing because it's fun. There is a "method to the madness" believe it or not.

I didn't say you hate America. Just a general statement.

No, no I'm not.


If you're not Ok with civilians getting killed then I don't see how you could possibly support this tactic.

Well, yes, I don't see too big a problem with it. Will innocent people die, sure, and that's unfortunate, but look at it this way:

It's really no different than Chris Hansen baiting internet predators into his houses, only no death. I mean, say if you put a pack of C4 out in the open. Someone comes around, looks at it, and walks away, they don't get killed. Then someone comes, picks it up and leaves, BAM, dead. Well, let's see, WHY would they pick it up if they weren't going to use it? It's pretty much preventing something from happening. It's not like they're baiting these people with porn mags or something.

what the hell kind of reasoning is that?

So if a younger kid comes along and picks it up over pure curiosity, you're going to kill them?

As I said before, kids have tricked out soldiers and killed them. As far as THIS particular situation, I don't think the soliders would do so, if you read the article, it says they have "targets" meaning people in particular they are looking for. You think they're looking for any kids?

Oh really? What does a terrorist look like? Oh, thats right, there's no "look" to a terrorist.


You said yourself that kids could blow troops up, so by your own logic they could be looking for kids.


Really though, if a guy comes along and picks the item up just out of curiosity, and you kill him, is he simply just collateral damage? Meaningless?

Do you think the Army is so clueless that they say, "target anyone who looks like a terrorist"?? I mean, c'mon man, I'm sure they have leads of some sort to just start "targetting" people, don't ya think?? Or do you really have some sort of agenda AGAINST the Soldiers?

Again, there's no particular "look" to a terrorist, so I don't see how they could single them out from a normal looking person.


yeah I really hate those scumbag troops man totally.

Do me a favor and re-read my previous post.

If they had leads then why would they do this? Its a pretty inefficient way of getting them. Plus, them having "leads" is contradictory of the very nature of what they are doing. They wouldn't need bait.

 

[Johnny C]

Sure they would. Do you remember where they found Saddam hiding at? It's not like these people are staying at their houses waiting for us to come get them.
