New Tucker and Menchaca Video: Bodies Desecrated by Terrorists
Via Rusty Shackleford at Jawa Report:
A new video released by the Mujahidin Shura Council of Iraq shows new footage of the desecration of the bodies of Thomas Tucker and Kristian Menchaca. The Jawa Report has obtained a copy of the video. Graphic Images and link to video below.Continue at Jawa Report for more ccommentary, the video, and links.A previous video had been released of the mutilation of Tucker and Menchaca's bodies by al Qaeda in Iraq. This one includes new footage and has a high production value. The video shows the bodies being dragged through the streets, beaten, and kicked.
The video is a propaganda piece which tries to link the killings of the two American soldiers in Iraq to the murder of a 14 year old Iraqi girl and her family. The video calls the desecration of Tucker and Menchaca's bodies retaliation for alleged abuses by U.S. soldiers.
Most of those abuses have been thoroughly debunked--such as in Fallujah, cited in the video-- or are cases in which the U.S. has prosecuted the abusers.
The video shows the burning of bodies in Afghanistan by U.S. soldiers. What the video does not say is that the bodies were being burned for sanitary reasons. To stop the spread of disease.
Near the end of the video, the two U.S. soldiers' bodies are burned.
So where's the vociferous voices of the Left and the media that are always screaming about U.S. abuses of prisoners? Proportionality, please! The standards of the United States of America stand so far above those of our enemies - the Islamic extremist bastards that commit acts like these, that to accuse the U.S. of torture is to literally compare yelling, screaming, and a cold shower to chopping off heads. Yet that is exactly what the Left and the media have been doing.
