MSNBC reporting of the atocity of Marines killing a family of women and
children during operation swarmer. Seems like one of the Marines involved may spill the beans (if his family isn't threatened with extinction first).

1. Shit! They did this during Op SWARMER????
I thought it was a rehash of the other incident.

Our troops are cracking from the strain of being deployed much longer than they should've been.

Just wait until they come home and the VA doesn't treat their illnesses. :scared:

From your link:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi police have accused American troops of executing 11 people, including a 75-year-old woman and a 6-month-old infant, in the aftermath of a raid last Wednesday on a house about 60 miles north of Baghdad.

The villagers were killed after American troops herded them into a single room of the house, according to a police document obtained by Knight Ridder Newspapers. The soldiers also burned three vehicles, killed the villagers' animals and blew up the house, the document said.

A U.S. military spokesman, Major Tim Keefe, said that the U.S. military has no information to support the allegations and that he had not heard of them before a reporter brought them to his attention Sunday.

4. I hope someone speaks out
There was an AP reporter there taking statements from the neighbors before the funeral. There are some pretty horrible pictures out there too.
