I strongly suggest that all the pinko armchair generals stop quoting regulations and 'laws' that we, who actually DO the job, are well aware of, get out of their cosy, far-from-the-front-line, human-rights-upholstered armchairs and go and see just what the situation on the ground in Iraq is actually like, before passing judgement on these individuals, whom you all presume to be guilty before any trial has even commenced. Consider the following:
- It would appear (from what I have heard so far) that the accusations against these men are based upon the evidence of a solitary, uncorroborated witness; an Iraqi, I'm led to believe, who may well have an axe to grind, and possibly a financial incentive, thanks to tw@ts like Phil Shiner (We've all heard of ambulance-chasing lawyers before - who would have ever thought we would see a TANK-chasing lawyer???)
- The injuries he sustained could have been the result of his resisting arrest, or attempting to fight his way out of the situation - or they could have been sustained in fighting before his arrest. There is no way to be sure (except for the one, aforementioned, uncorroborated witness).
Let's cast our minds back to the UN prior to the invasion. The pinkos were stating that 'not enough evidence' had been presented to justify invasion and the removal of Saddam. Post-facto, the self-same pinkos have been bleating endlessly about the 'lack of evidence' found of WMD or WMD programmes, using same to justify their anti-war stance. This despite 17 DOCUMENTED violations of UNSC resolutions, and plenty of circumstantial evidence that WMD existed BEFORE the invasion.
Yet every time an accusation is levelled at the coalition, however flimsy the evidence, the self-same, self-righteous, self-indulgent, self-interested lefty pinkos are the FIRST to publically and vocally condemn the coalition forces outright, without any regard to any form of due process.
Many here have expressed a desire for us to set an example in our values and demonstrate that our conduct is beyond reproach, by giving exemplary regard to laws, conventions and due process. Would those who profess to hold these higher values and exhort those in constant danger to uphold these values internationally in their name, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - START PRACTISING WHAT YOU F**CKING WELL PREACH
