Former Military Intelligence Officer Speaks Out-1/5

[anastasia2657]

The journalists have been the minions of the gov't for years. They just received their "thank you" note.

[returnoftheramble]

So those are the people they blamed but who were following orders. As for intelligence, they keep you locked in your parents fate and filled with anger. I'll never stop. I don't care. Life has no value. I have nothing of value. Write a note, satisfy my ego.

[OzZyMaDe]

LOL FAIL!

[PanZheXin]

This video is close to bullshit propaganda.

She is using much assertions vs hard data to back up her story. Hard data would mean verifiable documents and physical evidence that clearly states who did what. Military is secretive so I see no hard data.

2nd She uses anecdotal evidence which clearly is not proof. Correlation does not equal causation.

3rd The so called former reservists does not have top secret clearance so her story is only a perspective. Why people believe bullshit is beyond me.

[Teutonik]

Let's get something straight, Jeremy scahill is a frequent contributor to Democracy Now! That right there should tell you this is incredibly biased against Americans.

[starmanskye]

Teutonik uses classic propaganda, poisoning the well & discredit via inference, providing ZERO evidence to refute the report he disagrees with. Furthermore, he attaches a negative value judgment to truthful reporting & principled criticism of America's foreign policy of war which is illegal & product of lies, intimidation & media control. It is NOT representative of the will or interests of an informed democratic polity. That's the totalitarian & intolerant mindset which teutonik here defends.

[Samperor]

Its not the soldier...Its the order they are given from.

[habb]

what the fuck is wrong with this ladys mouth, i cant even watch her speak without wanting to blind myself

[petertrast]

If you believe that US soldiers are intentionally killing journalists with bombs in a hotel, you are a RETARD. If they wished to kill them, there are easier, surer, quieter ways. I am sure it was incompetence. Get a clue. The soldiers aren't the problem, the government that gives them orders is and in my 20+ years being in and working for the military, I never knew any soldier that would intentionally kill civilians, much less reporters who would surely be reported on. You're idiots.

[ballpark4]

against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

[petertrast]

amen.

[GTRMAN7203]

they don't have any type of contextual situational awareness and blame the tank crew. listen at 4:24..... pointing a camera over a ledge in a war zone at a tank can be hazardous to your health. the reporters should be briefed on things like this before they place themselves in jeopardy. From that distance anything that looks like a weapon can cause you to get fired upon. There's no conspiracy, there's just action/reaction.

[Samperor]

When I was in the military we need things that could be done easier but done it make it seem like it was an accident. ANd yes it was the people who gives the order.

[petertrast]

What military were you in Samperor? Not the US military? Surely they have not yet allowed your level of illiteracy into the Armed Forces yet? I am guessing from your profile page that you are east asian? Maybe your military did those things but not mine.

[Samperor]

I was in the US Navy and thank you for you warm greetings. What do you mean about "Your military" did those things? kind of offensive.

[petertrast]

In the US Navy but you believe that they could do these things? Obviously you originate from a country where it is normal for this kind of unethical behaviour. The US military may have a few "bad eggs" but it is still the world's benchmark of ethics. I know because I have worked with soldiers from all over the world.

[Samperor]

I am from USA. So your point is? I didn't say military were all "bad eggs". ACtually I didn't even bash our own military. you lost me bro.

[petertrast]

Sorry Samperor. I think we got off track... what was it about this story that got your attention? Do you really believe that the military leaders would really kill reporters?

[Samperor]

not really....If they wanted to, it could be done alot easily. This story seems more like an accident.

[starmanskye]

petertrast: You don't know because you don't WANT to know. How else to explain huge contradiction between what you say & the fact that some 1.5 million+ Iraqi citizens have been killed by US bombs & bullets in a patently illegal, unjustified 'pre-emptive war' following 10 years of wickedly punitive sanctions that claimed the lives of a half-million most vulnerable Iraqis. Following illegal orders is not moral. Granted, US Gov. is now thoroughly corrupted & is no longer By, For & Of the People.

[petertrast]

If you had ever had the guts to serve in the military, you would know what I was talking about. And they call conservatives paranoid? You obviously know nothing about military ops. Go have another latte, emo...

[playamango]

@petertrast I agree with you that this could be an accident but what about this next video where soldiers seem not to be able to discern between a war video-game and a real war. Could you please comment on it?

watch?v=20LkYvEZOZs

I'm not being able to write the entire link, please attach to the first part. Thanks

[petertrast]

@playamango I agree, some soldiers are children in uniforms. But the vast majority are not. Comparing US Soldiers to Nazi's is silly. The US never killed millions of civilian prisoners. The Nazi's were a murder machine. The US just has a few bad eggs to deal with. I should the difference would be obvious to any thinking person.

[playamango]

@petertrast I don't think this video is comparing the Nazis with the US soldiers. Please watch the video that i linked and tell me if you think it is the soldiers fault or their superiors authorizing the shooting or if it was no one's fault? i am talking about the video with the title:

WikiLeaks Iraq Shooting Video Analysis

Thank you in advance.

[tbutt1956]

Bush Cheney criminals should be tried as war criminals.

[smellyfooty]

use INTERNATIONAL law!!!!!

[smellyfooty]

charge the U,S with MURDER! the bombers knew EXACTLY what they were doing! This is IDIOCY!

charge them with incompetence! if nothing else! use AMERICAN LAW!!!!

[btigtime2]

There is only one reason why you use cluster bombs in a city for of people... Exstermenation. If this was a operation their would be objectives... this is an ocupation bent on looting Iraqs resources.

[smellyfooty]

I like popcorn...

[Xenu]

[marknalleahmad]

Long live free Iraq!
