The lead story for General Electrics NBC Network prompts outrage around the Arab World.
The full details of the incident was not reported... in their attempt to get it out.
Videos on beheaded American Civilians, Videos of Islamic Fascists firing from "so
called" Holy Mosques, Videos of weapons store houses in Mosques, Videos of injured
and dead U.S. troops and other facts surrounding the Iraqi War fail to make it to the
public with the same vigor and repetition. We ask why? You need to ask why!
GE and NBC are obviously sensitive about "World Opinion". They use politically
correct words in their news reports to describe the connection so as not to inflame Muslim
Christian hatred. They never use Islamic Fascists or Muslim Radicals. It's insurgents,
rebels, freedom fighters and other sensitive words. It must be obvious to them that the
Video they released would do to already hightened tensions. They should be contacted with
your opinion.
NBC Imbedded Pool Reporter Kevin Sites following a group of Marines in Iraq
- Filmed a video sequence that shows a squad of Marines finding a room of wounded
insurgents inside a Mosque. The Mosque which was a former terrorist stronghold and was the
source of heavy enemy fire. In his report, Sites said the man who was shot again didn't
appear to be armed or threatening in any way, with no weapons visible
in the Mosque. Kevin Sites said three other insurgents wounded in the Mosque were also
shot again by the Marines. (Note Sites comments are his personal observations and not
fully factual, yet he couldn't wait to gather all the facts. He rushed to Air the
Video with NBC and GEs approval.)
FACT: The tape shows a Marine shouting out that one of the wounded
snipers is playing “possum.”
FACT: The snipers were left in the mosque by a previous squad of Marines
to await medical evacuation or burial. The second Marine squad did not know that. The
commanders had not evacuated the snipers because US troops were still under fire.
FACT: From Arab News - A colonel who recently returned from his second
tour of duty in Iraq, told Arab News the Marine in question was wounded in the
face the previous day; and that a Marine in the same unit had been killed
a day earlier, and five others wounded, as they tended to the booby trapped dead body of an insurgent.
FACT: NBCs footage of the shooting airs continuously on Al-Jazeera
television, a Qatar-based satellite station saying the U.S. Marine killed an "UNARMED
MAN" in a Holy Mosque.
FACT: The Washington Post Headline - Video shows Marine killing unarmed man
FACT: The incident reported by NBC is causing major political problems for the
government of Prime Minister Ayad Allawi and his U.S. backers at a time when Iraqi
authorities are seeking to contain a backlash among Sunnis.
FACT: Commanders in Iraq said wounded enemy have detonated grenades or
conceal hidden firearms when U.S. troops approach them. If the man made the slightest move
"they would be justified in shooting him." “They use bodies as booby traps
all the time,” said a Marine colonel, who spoke anonymously. “They wait until
Marines are close, then they detonate themselves. From what I hear, the unit didn’t
know those guys were supposed to be there.
FACT: Legal distinctions are unlikely to carry much weight among many
Iraqis, especially Sunnis already angry over the Fallujah offensive. Iraqi Interior
Minister Falah Hassan al-Naqib, himself a Sunni, said that although "killing a
wounded person is rejected by us," Fallujah militants were "killers and
criminals" who committed brutal acts.
FACT: Close to 10 percent of the Terrorists in the combat zones are
Non-Iraqi. They are made up of Al Queda, Osama Bin Laden Loyalists, Iranian, Syrian and
assorted Islamic Fascists. Saddam’s regime had prepared special units for waging
urban guerrilla warfare long before the US-led invasion in 2003. Those units have now been
activated throughout the Sunni Triangle.
FACT: Iraq Anti War Critics are drooling at the prospects of another Abu
Ghraib-like military fiasco. YET, John Kerry got a Silver Star with Combat V - for Valor-
for committing the same sort of "atrocity." In fact, the February 1969 incident
was considered by Kerry supporters to be his finest hour. Patrolling the Bay Hap River,
Kerry and his crew discovered they were about to be ambushed by a Viet Cong soldier who
had just popped up at the shoreline with a loaded rocket launcher in his hands. With the
VC about to fire, Kerry crew mate Thomas Bellodeau shot and wounded the attacker, saving
the entire boat. Only then did Kerry leap to the shore to chase the wounded enemy down -
finishing him off behind a hootch. When critics suggested that Kerry's actions that day
were something less than heroic, they were hooted down by the press. Certainly the
as-yet-unnamed Marine in Fallujah deserves, if not the Silver Star, the same slack the
press cut Kerry.
FACT: NBC did
not air this video - Margaret Hassan taken hostage by Iraqi terrorists has been
murdered, after analysis of a video which showed a masked gunman shooting a blindfolded
woman in the head.The video, which emerged a week ago but was kept secret, has been
studied by experts, and both British diplomats and relatives of Mrs Hassan said they now
believed it showed the 59-year-old and that she had been killed. Mrs Hassan was born in
Dublin and held British, Irish and Iraqi citizenship. She married an Iraqi and lived in
Baghdad for 30 years. For the past 10 years she had run Care International's operations in
the country and was involved in important work in sanitation and medical aid.
FACT: NBC did
not air the videos of the
beheading of American Civilians, South Korean Civilians, British Civilians
NBC placed their short reports near the
end of their broadcasts
FACT: Some of
Fallujah’s residents spoke with relief knowing they had survived and would no longer
have to live with the mujahedeen, others spoke about the US forces and the armed men who
have ruled the city with a gun since April.
Sitting inside a villa with his wife, their baby and eight other family members, Adnan
Hadi explained how he had tried but was unable to escape Fallujah before the assault
started. “We were very frightened,” he said. “If the Americans had not come
today we would have run out of food.”
