"A video recently posted on a public website appears to show U.S. military personnel committing an inappropriate act with enemy corpses. This disrespectful act is inexplicable and not in keeping with the high moral standards we expect of coalition forces," the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan said in a statement.

"ISAF strongly condemns the actions depicted in the video, which appear to have been conducted by a small group of U.S. individuals, who apparently are no longer serving in Afghanistan."

"I have seen the footage, and I find the behavior depicted in it utterly deplorable," Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in a statement. "I condemn it in the strongest possible terms."

Panetta said he has ordered the Marine Corps and International Security Assistance Force Commander Gen. John Allen "to immediately and fully investigate the incident."

"This conduct is entirely inappropriate for members of the United States military and does not reflect the standards of values our armed forces are sworn to uphold," the statement said. "Those found to have engaged in such conduct will be held accountable to the fullest extent."

A senior Pentagon official said Panetta was "deeply troubled" after viewing the video.

So impeach obama - its his fault after all. Also declare him a war criminal? That was the logic used under Bush. So since those people had no ulterior motives, the argument was sound. The buck stops at the top after all

AmIRite?

No, you're wrong. Bush ordered torture. Obama didn't order Marines to***** on corpses. I hope not anyway.

Drench, I love all the updates you do, but thats a bit harsh.....got a link specifying that BUSH ORDERED TORTURE?

AND, by me asking that, does not mean I am against torture. Under the right circumstances, I am all for it.

Sure.
Quote:
In his book, titled "Decision Points," Bush recounts being asked by the CIA whether it could proceed with waterboarding Mohammed, who Bush said was suspected of knowing about still-pending terrorist plots against the United States. Bush writes that his reply was "Damn right" and states that he would make the same decision again to save lives, according to a someone close to Bush who has read the book.

Knew a guy who was a tunnel rat in Vietnam and he brought back a small ear collection to the states. He should have been Court-Martialed too.

Watch some YouTube videos of waterboarding. Read some accounts. It's torture.

Carney's up at the White House briefing. No Obama. Rumors of his popping up were false.

Carney: Panetta spoke to Karzai about it. "I don't know whether the President has seen the video, but he has certainly been made aware of it."

Carney: "It is in fact our military campaign that has set the conditions for reconciliation discussions."

I think Carney just killed the process.

I am a Viet Vet Twice over. Do you think we would have made a big deal about this in WW2. This **** started in Nam and its been down hill ever since. You go to war to kill, You get frustrated and mad as hell. And all this PC **** just adds to it. Another reason why this country is ****ed


The RH cut off heads and WTF else,

Your search for a pretty war and all the justifications for it are a fantasy

Montel Williams would like you to know that bringing back the draft might stop these things from happening.
