US Soldiers Posed with Dead Afghan

Well done, but they are still using airstrikes on Libya. (Quite effective you know...)

So Gadaffi can hardly say look what American soldiers do. Why would anyone care when the Libyan army are not fighting Americans.

There will never be American's in Libya

That's disgusting. If there are riots I don't blame them. If there are no protests I will be shocked. What do you think will happen as a result of these sick animals' sadistic acts?

I couldn't care less, the line between "helpless civilian" and "mad terrorist" is getting more and more blurred for me.

I would. Seeing as they do not want to even be leading this operation. The entire command structure is about to be changed. If they don't want to lead a no fly zone do you really think they will want to lead a land invasion? The only troops that will be sent to libya are Italians(to rescue a tub boat crew)

I KNOW! But he can use this as extra propoganda to turn the neutral Libyans and the rest of the Muslim world against the Coalition force.

Jeeeeez!

This is absolutely horrific and a great example just plainly to show how muslims are discriminated and abused because of their religion.

And then we have these idiots from nowhere who struggle to think rationally say 'islamophobia doesnt exist' and 'muslims arent being prejudiced and discriminated'

A quick CTRL+F over the source indicated an absence of the word muslim.

Please do share with us where you go this information from. :confused:

Disgusting, typical of the contempt that some Americans reserve for the Islamic religion and culture.

My point exactly

When he's already telling his people that the western world are on a Christian Anti-Muslim Crusade to support Al Qaeda Insurgents who are handing out Narcotics in order to confuse the youths of Libya I don't think this really counts for much in terms of public opinion.

For those who haven't seen them, this is the link http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-65976.html

I personally think that the soldiers deserve a court martial. The photo's are rather shocking

I'd put money on them being rednecks/from a republican state.

Being as they're standing trial for murder with a maximum death penalty for them, I'm pretty sure they've already been court martialled

The US military have severe disciplinary issues. You'd never see British servicemen doing this - nor servicemen from most other Western nations.

Don't worry, anti-Islam peeps, extremists clearly become the way they are because of their religion and DEFINITELY not because of events like this, the killings of their relatives by Western troops etc.

I realise only a minority of US/NATO whatever troops do this but it is these who continually fuel the Frankenstein the United States helped to create in the first place. Absolutely despicable from these apparent defendants of democracy and freedom.

If the best you can come up with of any real equivalence is some rumours published in the Guardian (lol) that were so sketchy they'd never lead to a conviction (innocent until proven guilty - always), you'll have to do a lot better than that.

In response to the OP, when the images are published in the Afghan press then I am sure there will be huge uproar and protests from Afghans all over the country.

There have already been many many protests against NATO in Afghanistan and Karzai has been under immense pressure to try and halt the night raids and drone bombings which result in so many innocent deaths.

Funnily enough this never gets reported in the Western media.

Death would be a welcome mercy for these dogs.

The Afghans hate NATO. End this war.

ALSO this reminds me of an article I recently read: http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/04/05/afghanistan

I strongly recommend having a look-through that.
The events described are not isolated.

I hope these dogs find no mercy just as they offered no mercy to those they killed.
