Not saying whether the guy is guilty of murder, but you've got to be kidding me. The Army sure as hell doesn't believe that version, it's on the level of a 5 year old's lying skills. 
The undisputed facts from everyone present are that he, (Vela), shot and killed an unarmed civilian that did not need to be shot, (yelling might give away their position to "military aged men" a few yards away but a gunshot would not)??? How about a ******* gag or some duct tape? He then planted a weapon on the civilian and the squad cooked-up a BS story for the incident that would not, and did not, fool anyone for one minute. Except Fox News and you, Joe, apparently. It certainly did not fool their superiors. If the shooting was remotely justified, why the BS "bad shooting" story cooked-up? Troops shoot people every day in Iraq w/ no story necessary. This was manslaughter at the least, and probably murder. Yes, troops can commit murder in a war. Sad but true. |
See the reason these lefties dog Fox so bad is that if you believe the NY Times, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox looks made up. It's easy to understand their dilemma.
So let's see Speeder, if you were trying to find where a sound was coming from, and one sound was a continually yelling muslim, and the other was a single rifle shot, let me guess, the rifle shot would be easier to find? BRILLIANT!
