A US Marine who shot a wounded man in a Fallujah mosque will not face court martial, it has been announced.

The corporal who carried out the shooting on November 13 last year, has not been named.

But Major General Richard F Natonski, commanding general of the Marine Expeditionary Force, said a review of the evidence has been carried out.

After consideration, army chiefs agreed that a videotape of the shooting showed the Marine's actions were "consistent with the established rules of engagement and the law of armed conflict".

Freelance journalist Kevin Sites, on assignment for NBC television, filmed a Marine unit entering the mosque and finding five men who had been wounded in fighting at the site the previous day.

As the cameraman moved into the building, a Marine began shouting obscenities and yelling that one of the Iraqi men was pretending to be dead.

The Marine then raised his rifle toward a man lying on the floor of the mosque and shot him.

And if he was in a mosque half dead, still shoot him, finish him off, he is an Arab..!

Zionist Hor, forging facts is a nasty habit.
I have seen the news clips many times. The unarmed Iraqi man was inside the mosque, on the ground, half of his body covered with blood, raising his arms, and mormering he can not move his legs and needs a help.

Even an armed fighter should be granted help. It is the convention.!the decent convention..is not it?

How can anybody who defend his country and his family from the American PIGS be called terrorist !

You are one sided, bias and ill informed German American.

The problem with that logic, Salama, is that was and is a common trick there. The injured fighter asks for help then pulls the pin and BOOM, all gone. You may think that's what a "freedom fighter" should do but don't blame the allied troops when they react to it. It is also in the "decent" convention that injured troops don't try to kill the people helping them. What about that downed U.S. helicopter where the pilot survived and the rebels told him to run and then shot him in the back. The rebels released that on video for the world to see. What about that innocent woman Aid worker who was killed for no reason. If you're going to be so indignant, at least do it fairly.

Logic ? what logic in invading other's countries for any reason-oil or otherwise?
By the way, who told you that Mrs Hassan is dead?

You mean besides the fact the insurgents showed a video of a woman being shot and said it was her? No body has been found. If you have evidence she hasn't been killed, then bring it forward. Her poor husband and family want to know.

The same logic that sends terrorists to crash a plane into a building. The same logic that terrorists are now killing Iraqis. As someone said, hate brings more hate.

That was your logic, Salama, not mine. What's the logic in the World Trade Center attacks? It's the same thing. I hope Mrs. Hassan is not dead. Your terrorist friends have said she is. They wouldn't lie, would they? For her sake, I hope they have. The problem with you, Salama, is that you are a broken record spouting the party line over and over and over again until no one listens. I was watching a program with local muslims tonight talking about the Palestian situation and they presented down to earth steps they thought could be taken to work on the problem. They didn't point fingers, they didn't throw stones. They made sense.

They don't have the guts to go out and face our army head up, they would rather sneak around and blow up innocent civilians to make a political point.

well that is her right isnt it to have her own opinion?

Thanks 1man, serves him right.

I don't need to ask anyone about sadam, any muslim'll tell u that he is a scumbag, he spent years fighting & killing muslims in iran by the weapons the states used to send to him, any kid in any islamic country'll tell u that sadam is -was- an american agent, everyone knows that ( excluding the idiots), he was an agent for the states who (when realising that sadam has done his mission & became of no value) decided to get rid of him & steal all the fortunes of his country.
the issue is not whether sadam is bad or not ( cauzwe all agree that he is) the point is that u don't have the right to invade other ppl's land using the excuse of liberating them of the injust ruler, it's none of ur business, the ppl'll liberate itself whenit sees appropriate, just like the egyptians did with the rotten king in 1952.

That's partially true, Penelope, but not the whole story. Saddam was a buddy of the Soviet Union until he needed money to fight Iran and came courting the U.S. The Reagan Administration gave him $40 million on credit and almost immediately knew that was a mistake. When that money ran out, he turned to other Arab countries, most notably Kuwait, who gave him millions. Now, I'm not a George Bush supporter so won't defend what he did. It's easy to point the finger at the U.S. but the facts show that the issues and relationships involve many more countries. And there are many, many Iraqis in this country who fled Saddam's rule and who have been lobbying the government here for years to step in and get rid of Saddam to save their families. It's all a big mess. The best thing to do now is let the new Iraqi government take charge and let us get out. Hope you have a nice weekend and Happy Mother's Day to all the ladies.
