OMG!! That's awful. At least under Saddam, they only would have lost a couple of fingers or a left hand or something. Worst case, they would have been completely dismembered and left on their families' doorsteps. Messing with a man's car....now that's just wrong. No shame.
Maybe we should get these soldiers to New Orleans so they can crush all the looters' cars here.

These American Soldiers are bunch of bullies. I wonder what would happen if they did this in America.

Yeah, especially compared to those super-nice guys we know as Saddam, Uday, and Qusay.

Wonder what would happen if we treated Americans how they treated Iraqis.

yes, i am saying that there is a difference between stealing wood and stealing other things.

shelter is a basic need. if these people were stealing food, you would feel different. and if you wouldnt feel different, then that makes you an asshole. generalizing a situation might make it easier for yoy to understand, but life isnt that ****ing simple. well maybe your life.

also, saying that you hope someone crushed my, what are you, ****ing twelve.

and defending your point of view by asking what is worse for these people, america or saddam huesien. so lets see, whats worse, one set of douche bags or another.

i dont even know why we are having this discussion, because A-typical christian fundamentalist bush lovers like you will never question, will never doubt, and one day when its your family who is rummaging through a demolished building to find wood, you'll wish that you hadnt just accepted things for the way they are, and you will wish that you had questioned. but hey, that would be "unpatriotic" god ****ing forbid that you should ever doubt anything.

Now you're not even speaking coherently. Seriously, you have a lot of displaced anger.
Do they speak coherently to you at the gas station? when they ask you for 40 dollars to fill up the s2k. I'm sorry that you dont understand english. It seems to me that you don't understand alot of things, like what's going on around you. Well I got to go, I have another hurricane to prepare for, here in miami. I better make sure that my home is insured so that I get paid its value if it gets destroyed, that way white collar criminals cant come in and offer me 10k for it. Just like they are doing to the people in new orleans. But then again you probably agree with that. I have nothing to worry about, the president will save us. I guess if the damage is bad enough it will be another no bid contract for halliburton.

So now you get the point.............

All we see is a short video and nothing before or after................

Did you see the whole video or know what actually happened?

Do you any of the victims or perpatratiors (sp?) and spoke to them?

Was it as simple as what you and the rest of us saw on the video?

What makes this country great is the fact that you can jump to conclusions and spout out tirads of anger about a short video without any repurcussions other than other people crticizing your ideals. That again is called FREE SPEECH that the men and women who chooses to wear a military uniform defends for you and me.


So my question to you, do you know the whole story or are you just making assumptions of the situation?

Anyway, good luck preparing for the hurricane. I hope nothing serious happens to south Florida.

Are you directing this comment towards me? I am neither christian, nor am I a "Bush lover." I just see the world for what it is, an ugly, violent place. Good luck going through life complaining that everyone doesn't play by your idealistic rules, where everyone is nice to each other and has a big .

A 30-second clip shows a looter's car being destroyed. Immediately, a bunch of idealists start yelling and screaming about how evil U.S. soldiers are, and how bad the U.S. has been for Iraq. Yeah, that sounds rational to me.

That tank is bad ass, I had no idea they were that big. It made that car look like a toy.
