The ROE state that if any facility(Hospital/Church/Mosque) is being used as a staging area by insurgents/terrorists, it no longer has a protected status.
By the way, after the hospital was secured, the Marines brought in doctors and supplies.

The U.S. military is the single great threat to Iraqi civilians. Yes, the insurgents have killed some innocent civilians, but we've killed much more and for what? To liberate them? What if the French resistance had turned on its American liberators during WW2? Would it still have been a liberation or occupation?dan, most of the insurgents aren't even iraqi... and the u.s. military is not trying to kill civilians. the terrorists are. seriously, you should go fight on the side of the terrorists if you feel so strongly about their cause. you will end up like john walker lindh.
Since the insurgants took up in it to hide, thinking that we wouldnt destroy it. They made it a HQ, and we destroyed it. Good idea on thier part (just like Saddam put women and children in his palaces so we wouldnt destroy them in the first gulf war.

If being a enemy combatant equates to speaking out against this immoral war then I am guilty and so are 56 million other Americans.
If you believe in this war so much why aren't you putting your ass on the line for your beliefs? All talk?
now, i truly believe you are not american. where are you from for real. if you believe the u.s. military is the greatest threat to iraqi civilians...
what if, schmat ifs... they didn't, they knew we helped them..
but now, the iraqi people aren't turning against us..it is the terrorists from other countries...
as a former military member i take great offense to you saying the u.s. military is the greatest threat to this... so YOU and if you have any children I feel terribly sorry they have a father as ed up as you.
Not everyone can be front line. For every soldier on the front lines, there is something like 12 that arent.

And while these men and women are fighting for America, people need to be back at home running America.
If a time came when my country needed my services (draft came up) I would gladly pick up my weapon and fight for the values I believe in.
We have killed 100,000+ Iraqis. 10x more than all the mass graves we have found from Saddams 30 years of sadistic rule. We are worse than Saddam.
Link to the numbers we have killed?
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/...?oneclick=true
Saddam killed over 300,000 in his 24 years.
That is out and out BS... what nether region did you pick that number from?
Why wait? The country needs you now. We have a back door draft that is unfairly keeping troops in Iraq that clearly don't want to be there. If this is a war you really believe in then put your actions where your words are and go fight for your President.If a time came when my country needed my services (draft came up) I would gladly pick up my weapon and fight for the values I believe in.
Oh sure, question me if I am not in the military. Funny thing is how the people who post here who are in military called your bull already and yet you still don't get a clue. No one can reason with you, because when you can no longer make up a retort with a straight face you jump to some other new found thread of lunacy. Be my guest, believe what you want. Shout it at the top of your lungs, but do yourself a favor and maybe listen to some one else for a while.

what's this "we" ? are you french? (oui)
you are not one of us. you are against us. your backbone is limper than clinton after a lewinsky....
The desertion of the Iraqi army have begun..
DCFrom AP story: Thousands of U.S. Troops Storm Fallujah
Another issue is the role of Iraqi forces fighting alongside the Americans. A National Public Radio correspondent embedded with the Marines outside Fallujah reported desertions among the Iraqis. One Iraqi battalion shrunk from over 500 men down to 170 over the past two week _ with 255 members quitting over the weekend, the correspondent said.
NO SUCH THING AS A BACKDOOR DRAFT...
you know going in you are VOLUNTEERING for 8 years of service.
How many soldiers WANT to be there. When you sign up for the military, you know that you could be signing up for extended periods of time at war. That is part of the job. This isnt the cub scouts, this is the best military in the world.
My country needs me to be where I am best suited, and right now, that is at my current position. The men and women over there are trained specifically for that. If there was a mass exodus of people from their jobs into the military, there would be a huge problem with the economy because adept workers would be pulled out of their positions.
Right now, we are not in a stage of war where this is needed. If we get to the place where I would be more valuable with a gun than with a pen, then I would be happy to go.
Who here has served in the military recently? Certainly not you. So that qualifies you to tell me what is right and what is wrong in US. foreign policy? What are your credentials? I know more about the Middle East than you can hope to learn before this war is over. You know nothing. You are nothing but an American elitest propped by blind nationalism and ego.Funny thing is how the people who post here who are in military called your bull already and yet you still don't get a clue.

Actually, Admiral Halsey (WWII in the Pacific) said the key to military victory is to kill so many of them they no longer want to fight.Hey folks, this is the stuff great military defeats are made of.
They were being used as bases for the insurgency, and their assault was lead by Iraqis.We have attacked the only hospitals in the city (war crime?).
Who is fighting us then dumb ?All the real insurgents left the city days ago before the U.S. sealed it off.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20041108/D867RMM81.htmlSince when is a hospital a legitimate military target? Especially a civilian hospital? Where is your proof that this hospital was being used as a base against the teachings of Islam?
Wanna try again dumbass?Casey said that U.S. troops had secured a hospital used as a staging area by Sunni insurgents and two bridges across the Euphrates River. One of the bridges was where Iraqis hung the charred bodies of at least two of four American contractors last March.
BTW, explain this whole "base against the teachings of Islam thing" for me please. I wanna hear this one.
Tell that to the thousands of troops who have had their combat tours extended and watch how fast he stuffs a gernade up your ass.NO SUCH THING AS A BACKDOOR DRAFT...
what would Kerry do dan?
You do realize that these men AGREED TO BE IN THE MILITARY FOR THIS TIME PERIOD?
Yeah, I blindly believe our adminstration. God knows how those WMD and Mobile labs worked out.Casey said that U.S. troops had secured a hospital used as a staging area by Sunni insurgents and two bridges across the Euphrates River.

Casey isnt in the administration, dumbass.Yeah, I blindly believe our adminstration. God knows how those WMD and Mobile labs worked out.
And you do realize that we are bound to not use our troops in combat unless the freedom and liberties of our nation is in danger? Where is the danger to you or me by fighting Iraqi's defending their own country?You do realize that these men AGREED TO BE IN THE MILITARY FOR THIS TIME PERIOD?
Why don't you put your ass on the line for what you believe? I will pony up airfare for you to Baghdad, you can go find some of those insurgents and help speak out against America. Fair?If you believe in this war so much why aren't you putting your ass on the line for your beliefs? All talk?
Have you? So how does that qualify you to say what's right and wrong? Why don't we ask gophergeorge what's going on, what his take is? He's over there in the middle of it, certainly a lot closer than your pansy Osama loving ass.Who here has served in the military recently? Certainly not you. So that qualifies you to tell me what is right and what is wrong in US. foreign policy? What are your credentials?
Spare me. You don't know a ing thing salon doesn't tell you. I could dance circles around your ass on the Mideast. You know about as much as John Kerry, which isn't saying much.I know more about the Middle East than you can hope to learn before this war is over.
You know nothing. You are nothing but an American elitest propped by blind nationalism and ego.I read this from you, and all I can think of is...
