MSNBC's Chris Matthews, on last night's Hardball, posing a question about the alleged shooting of an unarmed Iraqi combatant by a United States marine, to Ken Allard, retired military:

"Well, let me ask you about this. If this were the other side, and we were watching an enemy soldier --a rival, I mean they're not bad guys especially, just people who just disagree with us, they are in fact the insurgents, fighting us in their country-- if we saw one of them do what we saw our guy do to that guy, would we consider that worthy of a war crimes charge?"

They're not bad guys? As Michael Savage would say, I think they should take this red diaper doper baby Matthews and lock him up! This kind of talk is treason.

Stalin was just hard headed

And I guess Hitler had an alternate agenda. [img]i/expressions/anim_roller.gif[/img]

I would lay 10-1 odds (not sure if those are good odds... I don't bet, but I think they are) that this guy was not even from Iraq.

Does he mean the "rivals" that burned and hung the 4 contractors in fallujah? Or the rivals shooting from mosques, churches, schools? Or the rivals that booby trap dead bodies? Or the rivals who beheaded, dismembered and disembowled the polish lady?

Sometimes you just how to wonder about liberals. Just like dukakis said, if someone raped and murdered chris matthew's wife and family, he'd just want them arrested and put in jail for job training. Pathetic excuse for an american.

What? Ewwwww.

Come on Chris. If the guy was pretending to be dead, it's not our problem if we ensure that it's not a trick. Siding with the terrorists, as usual.

"They just disagree with us."

How much blood, history, arguments, bad ideas, and suffering can be packed into that weaseling phrase?

"They're not bad guys especially."

Fine Chris. Let yourself be kidnapped by one of these not-so-bad guys who threatens to saw off your head and nuke NYC if he had the chance.

Look, if the soldier broke rules of engagement by killing that "insurgent," he should be punished. But I'm not losing any sleep.
